Losing is fun, but how do you explain this?
« on: May 18, 2012, 01:03:58 pm »
i've lost my fortress in elven anabush - nothing special, but it was 2nd year spring... I was 100% unprepared and death of 50% dwarves caused tantum spiral and finally abandon. WTF?

yeah I believe you can see things like that in the neighbours menu. Also, you could see it in the embark menu - it says WAR in capital bright red letters

It is fairly rare, your world is probably of intense interest to people who want to be at war with elves, but don't want to give them the [SNATCHER] tag to ensure that war is inevitable

In a hole in the ground there lived a dwarf. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a dwarf fortress, and that means magma.
