Dwarf Civilization "No Important Leaders" and no migrants from
« on: September 19, 2010, 02:59:56 pm »

I've been running a fortress for a few years, and have had caravans from both human and elf, but nothing at all from dwarf. Can I ever expect a caravan or migrants from Dwarf civ?

It might be a good idea to take a look at your civilisation, see if there's any unusual qualities.

If you have no immigrants and no caravans, and your civilization is described as having 'no important leaders', then most likely you are in a world where the dwarves were wiped out during worldgen.  Your dwarves are the last dwarves in the world.

Dwarves breed by spores.  They don't need to be anywhere near each other to get pregnant...

No, but they do need to first become lovers, then married.  And 1 tile meeting rooms and lots of spare time help with that.  Once they're married you can go back to slavedriving them.
