6 years, no immigrants
« on: May 17, 2010, 06:13:58 pm »

What would cause this?  I did have about 6 dwarves show up on the very first wave but nothing at all after that, and not one single caravan either.  I never saw a message about being passed up and my depot appears to be fully accessible.  After 6 years my population is up to 22 thanks mostly to dwarven inbreeding.  I had amassed nearly 500k in wealth before my expedition leader became possessed and subsequently went insane.

Any ideas what went wrong?  Was it dumb luck or something else behind this?

Your dwarf civilization may have gone extinct in world generation.  Or it's possible you've found an embark site they can't reach.  On the civilizations page, are dwarfs listed?

The answer is: all dwarves appear to be extinct.  The only visible civilization is a 'snail man' civ (?!)

Rename two of your dwarves Urist Adam and Urist Eve, you know your mission.
