Do Civ's continue to expand during dwarf fortress mode?
« on: January 01, 2018, 11:21:21 pm »
I had a probably stupid fun idea of starting from year 0 and building a dwarf nation from scratch or as near too as I could. I was curious however if civs would develop sites during fortress mode... or if they would do it during the time between new fortresses?

Also if you start from year 0 is there still a mountain home and monarch?

Yes. The outside world is alive and expanding (at least until it starts hitting it's various site caps). New sites are founded, ruined sites are reclaimed by expeditions or just by passing refugees, wars see sites change hands several times.

Yeah Dwarf Fortress has dynamic history, so as years go by in your Fortress, the outside world is fighting megabeasts, founding sites and sending armies about to do fun things

You can check out out for yourself on the new map screen (c) once news starts reaching your fortress. All those blocks moving around the map are various armies, reclamation squads, expeditions, etc.
