Uninhabited Human Hamlet (df_27_173_38a)
« on: February 14, 2008, 01:53:00 am »

On a lark I tried to make a fortress at the outskirts of a human town to see what would happen and that sort of thing.

The streets are empty of everything except warthogs, bonobo and heffalumps (pachyderm demons for those in the know).

The little houses with furnishings and what not are there, every living human isn't.

You occasionally get ghost towns during world generation.  There's that other bug where you get clusters of dozens of towns, which is bad.

I'm not sure why clusters is considered a bug really, I mean it would be better if it was considered a single town with districts or whatnot. But the idea of huge multi square towns is a good one, especially if the reason it happens is cause the area is just so good that all the npcs want to live there, I mean that is why big towns really do get formed.

There is no building material called Him, unfortunately.

The ghost town thing can simply be explained away as being depopulated by one of the nearby goblin forts who promptly (year 2) entered my base of operations and commenced executing fatal attacks upon my conscripts.

Maybe the warthogs, bonbo, and ELEPHANTS had something to do with it.
