"Send Emigrants" and/or "Continue in legends mode"
« on: May 22, 2011, 07:29:35 pm »

Has anyone worked over a "send Emigrants" option in the ESC menu, that would alow to start a new fortress from a group of your current dwarves, saving your fortress to continue without abandoning it?

Is there a way to continue the world history after playing in fortress/adventure mode (of course, breaking current fort/adventure to go on "world gen" mode).

1. No, this is not possible, not even with mods.
2. No, history just stops happening after you end worldgen.

you can retire the fort if you use Dfusion to prevent scattering of the fort and Dfmode to end the game in adventure mode.
that way the fort acts like a normal fortress and you can go in a retire as an adventurer.

Apparently with the DFMode trick you can 'kidnap'/recruit the retired dwarves, and take them to a new fortress. It's on another thread somewhere with the details.

Well you could also make them work in the new fortress, and reclaim from underground with out breaching the soil.
