Problem with migrants/invaders
« on: December 19, 2012, 08:38:31 pm »
I've been playing on a fortress for about two years now, and I suddenly noticed that I'm not getting any visitors, invaders or even migrants. I even copied my save file and abandoned the fortress just to see if I had any neighbors, and I did - Goblins, Dwarves and Elves. Does anyone have any idea of what's wrong, or how I can fix it?

Lastly, it's not the init file, I'm pretty sure at least, because the [INVADERS] setting is set to YES. And my population cap is 100, and I have 13 dwarves in my fort. In advance, thanks!

There are a few things that could happen, how much wealth have you been giving too the mountainhomes, or have caravans started arriving?
Invaders dont usualy come till the 3rd year for me.

I've had one or two elven caravans, but that's it.

No dwarven at all? Have you been getting special messages like " Your fortress has not ... "
I think you may have embarked on a island with no dwarves on it, but elves.

Hope I helped, but if I am right, you will get no further migrants unless you embark somewhere else.

No, there are indeed dwarves here, I know that for a fact. As I said, I checked my neighbors, and dwarves were listed as one of them. And also, as I said, I have a population of 13 in my fort, and you only start with about six or so, so in other words I have gotten one small migrant wave. I probably should have made that clearer to begin with though. Thanks anyways!

I know that, you will be the only dwarven civ there, you will allways have dwarves on your civ because you are your civ, and your mountainhome in your case.
So, yeah, I am right.

Also, the first two migrant waves are pulled out of thin air still, I believe. (this is subject to change)
After that, they need to have a path from a dwarven settlement.

With all due respect I think the previous guesses are ill informed.

You always have access to the mountainhome, it doesnt list dwarves "because your civ (fort) is there"

That being said i dont know.

Perhaps check to see iff the dwarves are now extinct?
