40d Talk:Island
Um, I'm a complete newbie, and I want to make my first fortress on an island. What about the fact that you are immune to goblin attacks if you are on an island? What about some tips on how to make a fortress on an island? Help! -- Cayzle
This should be added to the {{world}} categories.

Oh wait. I figured out how to do it.

I'm pretty sure an island isn't a biome type. Also, I've yet to see the game mention islands at all. Like a valley, this is a feature that is created and then recieves no reference. VengefulDonut 09:27, 14 November 2007 (EST)
Complete nonsense
As far as I can tell there is nothing useful about this article. The facts listed are all either completely untrue, utterly misleading, or don't related specifically to islands.
As mentioned, islands are not a feature in the game, there is nothing special about islands at all. If there is anything truly unique about them, then it is the comment about volcanoes:
- Often has a volcano
But I'm not even really convinced that is very accurate.Qalnor 14:27, 11 December 2007 (EST)
I agree. Delete this page. Bouchart 20:07, 11 December 2007 (EST)
Rewrote the page.
I made the article a little less cluttered, but other than that not much. Islands really aren't all that different from other coastline, even if I like the aesthetics :P I suppose islands could be useful for escaping the hippy menace though. Can anyone verify what sea level is?
"Your first fortress" says that goblins will settle nearby you at a certain point if there weren't any to begin with. --Xonara 00:22, 20 November 2008 (EST)
- Is that true? I'm not aware of a mechanism by which this happens. They don't siege until you have 80 dwarves -- maybe that's what the author of that line had in mind?--Maximus 02:29, 20 November 2008 (EST)
- I've built in a remote corner of the map with my fortress population approaching 400 and no hostiles have ever showed up, haha. It's been eight years, so if there's a trigger, it has to be pretty obscure. --Navian 09:46, 20 November 2008 (EST)
Deletion
This page appears to have been deleted once already with the reason that it was useless and unimportant. I still don't see why it should be kept. Anyone? --Savok 17:41, 11 December 2008 (EST)
