As part of a starting site, mountains provide jagged terrain and impassable [[cliff]]s. They usually have very limited [[water]] resources, i.e., few ponds or streams, although many streams and [[river]]s originate from the base of mountain ranges. They often have sparse vegetation, and depending on the elevation may lack any sort of usable [[soil]]. In [[Adventurer mode]] it's impossible to cross a mountain tile in fast travel mode, even if you have flying capabilities. | As part of a starting site, mountains provide jagged terrain and impassable [[cliff]]s.

Mountains imply high elevation in the surrounding area. This can result in a "forest" biome that does not actually have any [[tree]]s, since, above a certain elevation, there may be no [[soil]] and, therefore, no place for trees to actually grow. When choosing a starting fortress site, be sure to check the elevation map (using the {{k|Tab}} key), and try to get a mix of low and medium or high elevations if possible. | Mountains imply high elevation in the surrounding area.

− | + | In this version <sup>[which?]</sup>, mountains are covered with grass when first encountered, but if the grass is removed (whether due to grazing, construction, or simple trampling), it will '''never''' grow back. Keep this in mind when designating [[pasture]]s, lest your animals starve. | |
