Short Wars - Legends
« on: August 22, 2012, 02:36:31 pm »
Seems like there are no long-term wars. Every war goes for at most half a season, and I am looking for a time to embark where we start off at war with the elves, or humans at this point would work too.

Anyone ever embark at war with another civ in the current version? Or see a long term war in their legends? I am hoping I'm not just looking through the legends for something that won't be there.

Maybe you can manufacture your own war.  Embark directly next to their capital, and drop it into the magma sea.

Im in a 20 year war with goblins. Due to the short history if they keep it up I will end up killing every last goblin in this goblin civ.

I think one element that plays into wars is the large beast population. Hard to fight each other when giant monsters are crawling out of every hole in the ground, you know.

But yes, I've seen long-term wars. Had one world where the dwarf race was at war with everybody at the start, and also nearly extinct. I built a grand fortress that was a final haven for the dwarf people. That was several versions ago, before historical figures actually were migrants, so in the current version, I'd likely have had a hard time getting a decent work force going.
