Humans out of nowhere?!?
« on: September 16, 2014, 05:31:25 pm »

I was in a world where, upon checking legends, I learned has 30000+ goblins, and 103 dwarves, no humans, kobolds, or elves. But then after eight years of fortress life, BAM!!! a human caravan shows up, I check the civ screen, and they have a king, a general, many barons and dukes, out of nowhere. How did zero humans turn to 500+? The dwarves are still in the low two hundreds.

Those darned upworlders breed like rabbits, be thankfully it ain't none of them tree lover bunch! trade your goods with them and make them pay up so they know who is boss, make them take the brunt of the goblins wrath while ye build up a mighty fortress! Go forth! Delve the Earth!

Humans don't have kings or barons/dukes - they have law-givers and lords/ladies.

Either you're looking at a Dwarven civilization, or the Human civilization has been taken over by Dwarves. Except that even if Dwarves did take over a Human civilization, they wouldn't be using Dwarven nobles...

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Would a dwarven civilization send a caravan separate from the one you always get in the autumn from your own civilization?  I assume that he meant he got a human caravan (presumably in the summer?) in addition to the dwarven one that year?  This is definitely very odd, and far beyond my understanding...

What... The screen had dukes and barons next to law-givers and generals, plus a king. Maybe it's a mess up in my raw? I did import regions, this one might be one I messed with.
