Hermit challenge
« on: February 10, 2010, 12:38:20 pm »

So I love the idea of the hermit challenge (where you kill everyone except one dwarf and embark with very limited items). So I figured I'd give it a spin. I built a room, stationed every other dwarf in it, had them build a wall and sealed it. Sure enough, they starved to death (or thirsted I don't remember). Then my surviving loner dwarf gets all pissed because he lost everyone he ever loved and went berserk (and so my settlement was abandoned). How do I avoid this?

Check relationships for your Dwarves and make your hermit the one who has the fewest friends and acquaintances.  Also, make sure they have good living conditions in place before their comrades expire.

Better yet start at a place with a chasm and recruit all those you want to die and send them out to fight the beasts of the chasm!  They will die...or should.

I just tried, my hermit only fropped to unhappy when I killed other 6 dwarves.

Note that I made my hermit run away from the others the second I started playing.

To help, build six coffins so he will be happy.
