Caves and caverns
« on: January 12, 2007, 11:50:00 pm »

Being from a part of the world where there are lots of caves, and seeing how there arent any in the game, aside from the three huge "feature" things, I thought adding in some small random caves and caverns might be interesting.

You'd be digging along, and dig into the side of a small existing cave. Or maybe a larger cavern. And, of course, some of them would be occupied, probably by things that would not like the intrusion.

And some caves might have special features of their own. Things that arent REQUIRED by the game, but might make things more interesting. Like awesome  natural formations, that would give a huge happiness hit when a dwarf sees them. Or a natural sinkhole pit trap, that sometimes drops surface animals to their death (Instant free meat, bones, and skins.). Nothing game breaking, just some random bits of strangeness/usefulness/excitement

I'm pretty sure this is in a bloat somewhere. Supposedly there's going to be cave openings that already have stuff like tower-caps growing in them and other monsters that might get released into your fort.
