Do caves...[edit]
Always lead into underground caverns?
- I don't think they do, but caverns are so common now that they will probably nearly always lead in. --Waladil 02:53, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- They don't always lead to underground caverns, I just saw a cave that went nowhere, the last floor of it had no down ramp. --Overspeculated 18:03, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
- I've seen one 'cave' that didn't even have the mound of rock, it was a perfectly flat site with no underground passage. Also home to 5 giants, so the clutter was pretty incredible. DokEnkephalin 20:21, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
Multiple entities in one cave?[edit]
I've been adventuring today and encountered two different caves with multiple entities, though only the second has me puzzled; the first was a kobold cave under attack by a bronze colossus from another site (one I had encountered many times before, footless, handless, noseless, earless, it still wiped out all the kobolds.)
The second seems to be a standard cave. There was a hydra patrolling out front and a giant on top of the little hill the cave forms in. Do hydras and giants raid each other, or do we have two named (semi-)megabeasts settling in one site? v.0.31.8 Anacrucis 19:38, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
I've seen many times where any named creature you didn't kill for whatever reason will, if given enough time, migrate to a cave you haven't yet discovered. DokEnkephalin 21:55, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
formation[edit]
Looks like they don't occur just anywhere; they have to be on the edge of at least one non-mountain biome, even if that's a diagonal direction buried into mountains. DokEnkephalin 21:19, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
- It's pretty confirmed, every time I've hiked deep into mountain chains to find hidden caves, there's at least one region tile of non-mountain biome either under it or beside it. DokEnkephalin 20:29, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
