== Glacier ==

A glacier [[biome]] is a biome with a freezing [[climate]] that is mostly composed of [[ice]]. They are normally only found on the larger world maps.

There are few resources on an ice tile; no [[trees]], [[plants]], [[water]], [[animals]], [[stone]], or [[ores]] are typically included. In addition the [[Ice]] can be several z-layers thick, which can make getting to any stone underneath even more challenging.

These factors make a glacier a very difficult biome to build a successful [[fortress]] in, although many players try it as a challenge.

Alydra: woops forgot to sign XD

They really aren't that dangerous. I got attacked by a few one time, and a gang of unarmed, unarmored civilians temporarily conscripted into the Dwarven Wrestlin' Team strangled the lot of them.[[User:Kefkakrazy|Kefkakrazy]] 02:17, 5 November 2007 (EST)

:tonight in WWE, Mesbuth Mesbuthsodel(Oarshields) vs the dark gnome team!
:Also, Gnome Liberation Front my arse :P --[[User:Frostedfire|Frostedfire]] 07:12, 20 November 2007 (EST)

::Never seen one of them. :) [[User:Zara|Zara]] 00:48, 29 May 2008 (EDT)

:::Me nether. :F --[[User:Hoborobo|Hoborobo]] 13:20, 4 June 2008 (EDT)

::::I've seen them, but they didn't seem to pose a threat to my unarmed, unarmored serfs. --[[User:Savok|Savok]] 14:37, 4 June 2008 (EDT)

:::::I found a small pack of them earlier... Unarmored axedwarf + war dog + dark gnomes = unarmored axe dwarf + war dog, apparently. [[User:Alydra|Alydra]] 15:45, 19 November 2008 (EST)

40d:Road

Alydra:

A '''Road''' is a path of dirt, [[wood]], [[stone]], [[blocks]] or bars (metal, soap, etc.). They are used to make paths across the map that make it easier for people and [[wagon]]s to travel by preventing [[tree]]s from growing underneath them.

Three kinds of roads can be made:

* Dirt roads take a short time to make but will be gone after a year.
* Rough road can be made with regular stone, it will be the [[color]] of the first [[material]] used.
* Smooth roads can also be made of any kind of block. They will be the color of the first material used.

Other buildings, including [[trap]]s, cannot be built on top of a road.

A road is not necessary for the wagons to reach your [[trade depot]]. Wagons can travel across most surfaces, including up and down [[ramp]]s, as long as [[boulder]]s and trees have been removed from their route.

== Building ==

Select {{key|b}} for build, followed by {{key|o}} or {{key|O}} depending on if you want a paved or unpaved road. Use keys {{key|h}},{{key|m}},{{key|u}} or {{key|k}} to adjust the height and width of the road. You can only build roads in full rectangles. The number of materials required for a section of road is 1+(height×width)/4, rounding down. Roads may be built on constructed floors, shrubs and the top of walls the level below, but not boulders, trees, ramps or open spaces.

== Removing ==

Press {{key|q}} to access room actions then select the road you want to remove. Press {{key|x}} to remove the road - it is the only available action.
