40d:Underground river
Jump to navigation
Jump to search
Underground rivers occur on some maps, mostly maps that have a stream starting from its tile, and if there is an unnatural abundance (for any regular mountain) of limestone.
In maps without any underground soil or aboveground herbs to harvest (so you can therefore get their seeds and begin farming aboveground) these can be a blessing, but on others it can be a hindrance.
The underground river is commonly filled with aggressive creatures such as Snakemen, Olmmen, Giant Olms and Cave Crocodiles. These are as of the latest version not affected by traps and interrupt the work of any dwarf within line of sight, and can thus be a real nuisance.
