is there anybody out there?
« on: April 21, 2010, 08:55:01 pm »
It is year three of my fort and i have not received a dwarven caravan and i've only received 4 dwarves in 2 small packs of 2, is this a glitch or has migration and trade changed a lot so that the dwarves may not come?

I think it's possible to not get any traders if you're far away from a dwarven Civ. I'm not sure.

I don't care about the traders i just need more dwarves 8 just isn't enough, and to think i used to train my siege operators by firing ballistic at the migrants (I needed fortress guards, and I wanted to paint the walls red, yet had no paint)

If your civilization (selected on the embark screen) is too small, and has no notable figures, caravans won't show up until they do, and you'll have a depressingly small amount of immigrants.  I've abandoned fortresses a couple times due to that.
