Utterly Mad

I'm also fine with dark ages II, but I'm sure not everybody would enjoy that.

Personally, I enjoy desert embarks. That includes glaciers.  If we decide to embark on an aquifer and can't get through it easily, I suggest we rise to the challenge. Evil biomes are pretty hardcore now. Not that they weren't hardcore before. Lets just say on a fresh embark, it is normal for your dwarves to transform into zombies the moment you unpause.
