Summary0006882: Dark Fortress denizen adventurers unable to travel in dark fortresses.
DescriptionIt is now possible to start Adventure Mode as a goblin or kobold. Usually this will mean beginning in a Dark Fortress.

However, it is impossible to fast travel anywhere near such a fortress. This can make it extremely frustrating to get anywhere from your starting location, given their size and complexity; and doesn't seem to make much sense given that it's your hometown, so to speak.

I assume that the bar on traveling in dark fortresses is a holdover from when they were always 'enemy' locations.

when did it become possible to play as a goblin or a kobold without teaking the game? as far as i know it's been possible to do that for a while now... you just have to make the civs playable. am i wrong? someone?

If all other civs are dead, you can play as a gobbo or kobold.

This is also the case if the pits have been taken over by one of the normally playable civilizations.
Here's a save where the elven civilization has taken over a goblin site:

If you start playing as an elven adventurer and select Urgebad as your starting location, you won't be able to fast travel directly from there.

The same exists for if you're playing as a normal civilization that has taken over a dark fortress. You can't fast travel regardless.
