Come on... these are Dwarves! They should be able to settle on a mountain. You can bring wood during embark, and even if you run out you can order more from caravans.

[Shonai_Dweller]

Dwarves live under mountains, not on them. You're thinking of yetis. Easy mistake.

When the underground is rehauled, deep dwarves introduced, then yeah, you'll probably be able to embark under a mountain.
In fact Toady confirmed in fotf a while ago that an underground start was in his list of ideas for "starting scenarios".

Thanks for making a rude joke and then not understanding that that was completely what I meant.

Of course they won’t live ON the mountain? But they can’t START under it. Not unless they can teleport, which they don’t. Also, I know of starting scenarios, I made a list of ideas that NOBODY CARED ABOUT.

So please refer to bullet point number four, which I’ve tried to respect:

Be respectful.  If you don't intend to show respect, do not post.

[Shonai_Dweller]

Starting under mountains is planned at which point you'll be able to start under mountains. That's all I meant. Even pointed you towards where Toady confirmed it.

People don't respond within 24 hours to one of your hundreds of bullet point list threads so you think no-one cares? Takes me a week to read through everything you've posted (which I do, with interest) and work out if I want to respond to anything.

Dwarves travel through the tunnels their civs build and the caverns. They don't need to teleport.

How was that a rude joke? It was a joke, but it wasn't rude. People make off-topic jokes a lot on these forums.

Shonai wasn't trying to insult you or anything, he was just making a comment which he considered to be humorous. He respects people on these forums to the greatest extent, from my past experience.

Darn, I feel like a jerk now. I was upset, I felt horrible last night. I am very sorry that I raged like that.

Anyway, where do yetis spawn anyway?

[bloop_bleep]

Savage mountains/tundras/glaciers, I think.

[Quarque]

Out of interest: why is it forbidden to embark on top of a mountain in the current version?

No trees or soil on the surface, I think. Kind of makes sense, kind of doesn't.

I think it's a traveling issue. Adventurers can't fast travel over mountains. It's probably difficult to get a wagon there, for embark and trade.

[LordBaal]

I do understand what the OP means and I agree. Wood/soil issues should be addressed first but it should be possible

[ShinyandKittens]

It’s not that, it’s just that Dwarves should be able to start on a mountain anyway, all they need to do is bring extra barrels and buy more wood.

Or just dig into the caverns for soil and wood.

[LordBaal]

By addressed I mean that. You should either dig deep for wood and soil/water-to-make-soil. Or toady to make us capable of send hunting/logging parties outside the fortress or making flora and fauna grown on mountains.

I think there should be a way to move soil.
