Turning on invasions in the middle of a game
« on: January 06, 2011, 05:34:06 pm »

Will I get invasions if I start a fort with them off, and turn them on later? The same goes for the population settings, temperature, weather, economy, no rent, and the others.

As far as I know all those settings are in the init file and will respond to changes midway through a game. I know for a fact invasions and population work as that's what I have done in my last fortress and it worked perfectly!

The only caveat is any sieges/ambushes that are already on the map will not go away when you turn off invasions.

EDIT: Whoops, got it backwards, you're turning them ON, not off...  but useful if you decide to turn them off later on.

Also, when switching on/off, beware of Ambushers, which can, you know, ambush you if they were already there.

Yes, this should work fine.
