Wtf Migrants?
« on: May 07, 2010, 07:29:01 am »
I recent just got the weirdest message I have ever seen so far, just wanted to know what it meant -

"A group of goblin migrants, The Menace of Breaching, has decided to stay"

Huh?

Some background - I've embarked on an old abandoned goblin tower, and I've just had my first wave of fodder/migrants come in. What does this mean?

That sounds pretty cool. Maybe it's a new feature.

...

Are they hostile?

You tell me, did a bunch of goblins show up and start working for you?

If so, that's awesome.

I'm guessing they're retaking the old tower. It happens.

Yup, I've seen migrants going to empty towns and stuff.

This also happened sometimes in 40d - see this thread.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

I think it's a historical event that dwarf mode doesn't really know how to deal with.

If you abandoned and reclaimed, you might find it's not an empty goblin tower anymore?
