Dead Civilization?
« on: July 08, 2011, 11:13:20 am »
So I saw that one of the possible dwarf Civs I could play as was at war with the elves. I thought, "Cool, I ought to check this out in Legends mode."
When I did this I saw that the elves had sacked this Civ's capital twice, once in year 6 and once in year 8. Further investigation revealed a shitton of dwarves dying of starvation around that time as well, including the civ's King and General. Then I realized that my map was 120 years old.
So I ask you, if this Civ is indeed dead as I think it is, will any migrants come? I don't really care about caravans because there are always the humans and elves (who I'm at war with).

The first two migrant waves always come. There's no way around them. Past that, if your civ is dead, no migrants.

As for caravans, even though you didn't ask, only the first one will come.

Dead civs are really common in this version. Dwarves aren't always great at surviving history.

What's stopping you?

Go for it, see if you can make a fort with only the first two migrant waves and children. Only having human caravans might be a bitch, but it should be doable.

And once you're established, avenge your forefathers! Kill all elves!

And tell us what happened, of course :D
