− | '''Dark fortresses''' | + | '''Dark fortresses''' are [[site]]s created by [[goblin]] civilizations. They, along with [[dark pits]], take the form of simple towers surrounded by sprawling networks of trenches. The starting dark fortresses are marked as {{Raw Tile|Π|5:0:1}}, while subsequent ones are marked as {{Raw Tile|Π|0:0:1}} on the world map. |
Most of the population of a dark fortress is found at the top of the towers. The towers also have downward stairs, which lead to the underground part of the fortress, consisting of so-called "pits" (not to be confused with [[dark pits]]). These pits come in two variants: "living pits" consisting of corridors and small rooms, and "work pits" consisting of large halls which may contain [[troll]]s, goods and goblin skeletons. Supposedly, the living pits are used as [[bedroom|dwellings]], while the work pits are used as [[industry|industrial]] areas and [[tomb|burial grounds]]. | Most of the population of a dark fortress is found at the top of the towers.

The central dark fortress structure contains a throne room on the top, a few maze-like floors leading up to the throne, the ground floor and 2-4+ subterranean maze-like prison floors that may contain [[children]] who were [[thief|snatched]]. Often, some of the up/down stairs between prison floors are hidden under switches. Like dark pits, the structure and the areas near the entrances may be host to a number of [[troll|trolls]] and [[beak dog|beak dogs]]. | The central dark fortress structure contains a throne room on the top, a few maze-like floors leading up to the throne, the ground floor and 2-4+ subterranean maze-like prison floors that may contain [[children]] who were [[thief|snatched]].

− | Visiting well-developed dark fortresses and pits in adventure mode can result in extreme lag because of the masses of denizens that can rank in the thousands. The lag and impact on FPS can be drastically reduced by sleeping in the fortress (or outside) until it's nighttime and most of the creatures are asleep. Changing to a faster gait | + | Visiting well-developed dark fortresses and pits in adventure mode can result in extreme lag because of the masses of denizens that can rank in the thousands. This is presumably a bug.{{Verify}} The lag and impact on FPS can be drastically reduced by sleeping in the fortress (or outside) until it's nighttime and most of the creatures are asleep. Changing to a faster gait will also help because it reduces the amount of calculations other creatures make before it's your turn again. |
