Climate Change in Dwarf Fortress...
« on: May 17, 2011, 03:06:19 pm »


Does anyone know if biomes/climate can shift during worldgen or is it set in stone? I'm just curious because I generated a hot, arid, world and noticed a couple large towns that had very low populations, abandoned fortresses, and only a small number of planted fields. I was wondering if the climate might have actually shifted in those areas, becoming less fertile and leading to a population decline?  Or is it just all starvation caused by the current worldgen trade imbalances?


Side note : One of those towns I also ran into a "boiling rain" storm that melted my adventurer's hands and killed him ;) Fun!!!
