So I'm more than 3 years in and I havent seen a single caravan, not even a dwarven one, or any goblins or anything other than a few groundhogs. No Immigrants, either. Whats this mean?

[Doomshifter]

You're probably in an isolated area, where no one can reach you. It happens. You might want to check for mountain ranges/oceans in the way.

I'm starting a new fortress and I just realized i have the same problem. I'm thinking about trying it anyway but i wanted to know what's happened in your game. There's no caravans but do immigrants come? what about goblin raiders?

[Confusticator]

well, Im 3 and a half years in, no outside contact at all of any kind. Saw a few groundhogs, and the horses that came with my caravan have bred like rabbits. There's not a lot of rock, either, so the fortress isn't that wealthy, and I havent had any immigrants so far, but I don't know if I'll get attacked by goblins or get immigrants as I get wealth. Completely isolated, otherwise, and it makes progress a little slower, since I only have what's here. And a small labor force.

[Sliver Barb]

You're not going to get immigrants or caravans. Your civilization died out during worldgen and you're now the last dwarves on the planet.

Good luck!

(No, I'm serious. This happens sometimes.)

that's awesome... on the one hand i think i'm gonna abandon because its way too arduous doing thiswith just the founding seven... but i feel like i also have a moral imperative to keep going... these are the last survivors of a dead race

Well, not likely a dead race so much as a fallen kingdom.  There's four races that civ and I've never seen a world with only four civs...each race tends to have a number of them.  Just pick a different dwarven civ.

Wow, the only dwarves? On the civilization screen, there is nothing. On the plus side, my 7 hoopleheads have excellent work ethics, if that influenced it in any way.

 A real dwarf, in that situation, would at least build some gloroiusly inane monument, before they abandoned it

and then fill it with magma! And make it spew out magma onto the land! And make it crush everything in tis path!
