| − | + | '''Islands''' are geographical features distinguished by isolation from main continents. Island fortresses are characterized by inaccessibility to most [[trader]]s and [[invader]]s. Only civilizations located on the island, and your parent dwarf civilizations, will be able to make it to an island fortress. The only exception to this is if the island is in close enough proximity to land, and in a Cold or Freezing biome, so that the ocean is able to freeze and caravans are able to cross. | |

*No non-dwarven [[caravan]]s on most smaller islands. You won't be able to collect [[bin]]s of crappy [[cloth]] nearly as effectively, and won't be able to collect large [[bronze]] helmets at all. | *No non-dwarven [[caravan]]s on most smaller islands.

*[[Megabeast]]s, [[titan]]s, and [[forgotten beast]]s can still arrive on an island. This can be exceedingly [[fun]] if a lack of other invaders led you to get complacent. | *[[Megabeast]]s, [[titan]]s, and [[forgotten beast]]s can still arrive on an island.

| − | + | Unless you happen to be a [[vampire]], it is impossible to traverse oceans to escape islands. vampires do not tire, and therefore will be able to literally [[swim]] all the way across the body of water you are trying to cross. However tedious this will be, for you won't be able to fast travel, since you are swimming. | |
