Would it work to just embark with "seven other dwarves" to help out? Since the seven adventurers should arrive early in the migration waves, can't we just say they were scouting around while the "other" seven got the initial fortress set up?

Try and pick a 5x5 spot with the "dump zone" at the center... We had discussed exactly WHERE to settle quite a few pages before.

Or, there is a more hack-y method. Might be more dangerous, though: unretire each of them and hack them to be standing around the area upon actual embark. Not sure how to do that, though, and it could cause bugs. Rumrusher would probably know...

If we do take the easier, safer method, it might be expedient to save-scum so that each migrant season brings at least two of the heroes, until we have all of them by 2nd spring at latest.

Hmmm that makes me wonder if there is a way to Hack the game to "Force" certain historical people to show up?
IE make it so the game produces our heroes in the first migrant wave or so.

Why don't you make the seven dwarves children of the heroes?

Legend tells of a fort besieged by a dragon. When 79 brave recruits fell to its breath, the last dwarf of the fort took up arms.

Nah, We shouldn't need to do anything really.. Just play as if al lSeven are starting, and then change names as the "real" ones show up in migrant waves.

As soon as I get a copy with the Embark back we can begin!

It should work now. Just put it over Silverysects proper and embark at the bottom left corner.

I'd say to skip naming the dwarves after the initial seven if for no other reason than the skills wouldn't match up anyway. We have to have a doctor to avid losing several of these to infection.

We also need to be able to make soap early on as well so we'll need a unit of lye.

Hmm... Do you think at this stage, while we still can... It would be "cheating" too much to go into DHack and fix their infections now?
Oe can wee only do thast after they start showing up?

Given that it'll only be a few months after they arrive, Melkor, Reudh, and the other infected dwarves should be fine.

Embarking with a unit of lye or soap is the best idea, as you said... Perhaps someone with Wound Dressing / Diagnostician as one of the S7.
