Do you run experiments on old forts? Or you start from scratch.
« on: January 20, 2010, 08:50:15 am »

Lately, instead of trying my experiments in old forts I've started... commencing new forts just because I enjoy idly playing the first construction with a small number of dwarfs.

Do you keep starting forts just for a test, experiment, or fun trap idea?

Depends on the experiment in question. If the project requires a good deal of infrastructure, a larger fort with a higher workforce can be preferable. Alternatively, if the experiment is likely to be a FPS killer, such as waterfall wars, then a new fort is preferable.

Considering how my pc is slow, I usually start a new fort. Or i run it on my 7 dwarves (plus 20 children...) fort, where I have pretty much everything ready.
