need larger embark or immigration dwarfs
« on: February 08, 2012, 09:03:06 pm »

As the title says I want to start out with more dwarves is there a hack I can use to increase embark size or add dwarfs to an existing fortress? I search the mod pages and found the embark mod but it only allows up to 30 embark total, but I want 250 dwarfs are more. I checked previous threads for answer but the methods were out dated or don't seem to work post .25.

I am using masterwork and genesis mod if that helps.

which 'embark mod' there are multiple of them, and i think some allow you to start with obscenely high numbers of dwarfs, but there may be a hard-cap within dwarf fortress for it.

if you want more migrants try metal paving the floors of your fortress, engraving all walls, and cranking out tons of metal and stone crafts to trade specifically with the dwarven caravan.
DFhack may have the necessary tools to do what you need, but i cant tell you for certain.

The mod I  was talking about was the "Larger embark 10-15-30" mod. I  can't seem to find anyother ones listed in the community mod page.

nice, designate a large outdoor meeting area, and enjoy that siege in about 5 minutes.

The dfusion method doesn't seem to work with the newer version any suggestions?
