Reclaiming Troops
« on: December 23, 2009, 05:17:39 am »

Alright well, a question here first off is there a way to lessen the troops I take with me on a Reclaim? I only want 7 but it seems determined to give me 60-70  of the best buds a dwarf could ask for, resulting in a massive fortress ending tantrum spiral if Urist mcdwarf gets a paper cut and its getting annoying as I'm trying to stick with a small group of dwarves.

Abandon when there is a siege. When you reclaim, all your dwarves will be dead.

But I still have to reclaim with 70 dwarves? I don't want that. Haha, thats just going to cause more Miasma and more clothing thrown about the map.

I've noticed that the game occasionally alternates between giving me 70 dwarves and giving me seven, across reclaims of the same location. You can try going in, abandoning, and then reclaiming again.

Alternately, use the 70 to kill off the things that are making it dangerous, then then when they've finished tantrumming themselves to death, come back one more time.
