Non of the forts in my world had a new hillocks has been established event
« on: December 20, 2023, 12:12:45 pm »
I cannot figure out why my forts do not establish new hillocks. Yes I do have plains/hills in 6 tiles radius.
 This could be linked to the fact that 2 civilizations that I played in my world were (not anymore) on a verge of extintion. I feel the game just does not see enough headcount to move to a new location. Anyone has any idea where or how to verify this theory? I thought previously that inhabitants of such hillocks are created out of thin air, like some of the migrant waves.
My current fort has several in game years, advanced to duchy despite not having any linked sites, but I trade so much my monarch came to make it capital. Previous two forts also became capitals but also made no new sites, only had conquered ones.

I cannot find any reliable source on game mechanics on this

They might of just hit the cap, depending on the world-gen setting and age, https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/World_generation#Maximum_number_of_sites

Thanks for a suggestion, but I play on max size which should have 2000 cap limit, and legends mode says I have 1786 so it should not be it :(

When a herd of elk arrive on the map, they are drawn from the existing region's elk population and you can hunt them to extinction. It works like that for dwarfs too...

If you only received the two free migration waves at your two forts, it may be that the world believes dwarfs or those two civs to be "dead", even though your two forts have revived the civs. It may also be that your two retired forts have suffered hardships since they were retired. How populated were the forts when you retired them, and how populated are they currently? Have they been under attack since you retired them?

There is something to be said about, if the stakes are as high, maybe reconsider your certitudes. One has to be aggressively allistic to feel entitled to be able to trust. But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.

Sort off, I receive more than 2 waves but the king died on previous fort and it went from 300 to 100. This must be it then. Seems that selecting more remove embark locations was a good idea afterall. Thanks. I will keep trying to revive the population by establishing new forts. I was caught by suprise that "occupied" civs still fight back despite having no land.
