Choosing a civilization
« on: February 02, 2013, 06:45:14 pm »

I can coose an nation as my homeland which has no cities.
and after i embarked i viewed the civilization and there it stands: This land has no importand leaders.
So what means this for me ?
will i ever be visited by dwarven traders?
will someone migrate
can i ever become an barony, and if yes, does it mean that i am then the leader of this civilization

In my experience, this means you won't get any dwarf traders, and because of that, you will only get the first two migration waves, and none after.  I don't know about the rest.

As far as I can recall, you're starting with a dead civilization.

Meaning: Only the first two hardcoded migrant waves will come, and that is all you'll be working with.

No barony. Yes to Traders - these will be...spawned somehow in game at a random civilized area in the world.

Or check the Legends on that world and trace the civilization name to find out.

hm i played this civilization just because i wanted to know what will happend.
i played it for 2 and an half years (i did not pay attention because i was watching tv and pressing space in the game, till all dwarfes went insane ;-) )
but the migrants appear every season, i got 6 waves till the end (every new dwarf was a member of my civilization, so no idea where did they come from, becouse as i said it, we had no cities.)
and the traders also did visited me, with the liaison.
So it seems that noone cares that my civilization is dead, so is this a bug or did all these  dwarfs were just hidding and waiting for an ne home and the question is also from where did come the tradegoods.
