How do I build/dig on the edge tile of a map? My dwarves are walking around the edge of a moat; I assume invaders will too.

You cannot dig or build on the edge tile, to prevent you from completely cutting yourself off from the world (for good or ill). Most people simply dig a most 4-10 tiles in from the edge of the map.

the issue is the entrance to my fort is against the edge tile. kicking myself for that. – antony.trupe Aug 3 '10 at 19:57
... Might want to go back to building a military. – C. Ross Aug 3 '10 at 20:06
I think I'm going to seal that entrance with a pair of doors and dig out another entrance. thankfully it's only two tiles wide. – antony.trupe Aug 3 '10 at 20:16
Why not just flood that one? – GnomeSlice Oct 24 '10 at 7:38

You can't. You'll have to find another way to block off access. Sounds like you might be able to build a wall up to your moat; get creative!
