I got this idea ...

I would like to play a game with just only two dwarfs, a male and a female... Adan an Eve.
How can I set the game to don't send me migrants?
Does dwarfs die by age?
Do they have kids with brothers/sisters?
Do attacks/sieges and those stuffs come by population base or wealth base?

Tips for this kind of gameplay are also welcome.

Adam and Eve

Look for threads on Hermit mode, similar but with only 1 dwarf.

You know? He's technically half right on both counts, in two different languages.

It's basically

"Adam and Eve"
or
"Adan at Eba"

(not counting all the other possible translations of those two names in any or all languages)

There's no incest, not even cousin-love, at least in the series up to 40d.  So you need a few more original founders or else you'll have a very limited population.

A number of things happen at population 20.  Even in a fortress with no living dwarf civilizations, you get about to that population by immigration just in your first year.  You never see immigrants again.

You won't have any appraisal skill unless there's humans or elves to trade with.  This means you won't be able to see your fortress worth.

Set your population cap in the init.txt to 1.

Give your first 7 dwarves some time off so that they start to form relationships. You want two to become lovers. They'll be your Adam and Eve.

Assign a burrow outside of the fortress and assign all dwarves but your lover couple to there. Then wall them out.



Dwarves die by old age, yes.

Sisters won't marry their brothers. If you want the next generations to prosper, you need at least 2 breeding dwarf couples. Maybe more, because I don't know if they marry their cousins.
