Boiled/baked goblins??

Can our intrepid adventurers suffer from heat exhaushion and heatstroke if they go too heavy on the clothing, armor & fighting in a hot climate?

And will we get blankets and sleeping bags for sleeping in cold climates? Perhaps tents, eventually?

I want to make central heating systems for my fortress - perhaps in a glacial map you could run channels of magma around the place to heat everything up a bit.

In a couple books I've read, in castles in very cold climates they had channels of hot water running throughout the walls to heat the interior.

Better yet, use the Roman/Korean system of channeling hot water under the floors.  Just channel and bridge, and hope no one tantrums.

The systemic issues like over-heating and hypothermia aren't in yet -- it's just location-wise damage for now.

It's also a bit difficult to have large-scale map effects like heating systems and so on.  There are 480x480 squares, which is a lot of data to push around if the squares can see each other.  Certain parts can be fudged though.

What about frostbite? Any chance of losing those newly implemented fingers and toes?

[Toady One]

Right now it applies the damage to unexposed parts -- there's no modeling of core temperature (this will help for implementing hypothermia as well), so it doesn't know that fingers and toes are special, but I'd like to teach it that.
