'''Hillocks''' ([[File:icon_site_hillocks.png]] / {{Raw Tile|Ω|#C0C0C0|#000000}}) are the [[dwarf|dwarven]] equivalent of [[hamlet]]s, a type of [[site]] constructed above-ground and usually on the peripheries of dwarven territory. Hillocks consist mainly of various "hillocks", round hills that have been hollowed out and installed with a door. Some hillocks (where terrain doesn't permit isolating a small hill) consist of a small room linked to the surface by a short stairway, and covered by a [[hatch]]. Dwarves who inhabit hillocks are typically described as being "hill dwarves".

Some of these structures will be referred to as [[tavern|drinking mounds]], usually populated by various dwarves quite aptly titled [[drunk]]s. There are also civic mounds and castle mounds, generally inhabited by the various local [[noble]]s and soldiers. 

Dwarven hillocks are not the most comfortable place to rest at night, because a lot of dwarves come there to rest, and a game may freeze really hard when characters and local inhabitants wake up, regain consciousness, get stunned again and stumble upon each other, but it is still better than fighting off [[bogeyman|bogeymen]].

In [[fortress mode]], dwarven hillocks may be peacefully founded close to your location and pledge their allegiance to your government, becoming economically linked to you. You can interact with them through a [[messenger]] and either ask for specific workers to come to your fortress or expel your own dwarves to the hillocks. Alternatively, you can [[Mission|conquer]] already-existing hillocks and gain control over them through force. Having multiple sites like hillocks linked to your group is necessary for the fortress to gain a [[baron]] (and by extension, a [[count]] and a [[duke]]).
