Interacting with outside world?
« on: November 11, 2012, 10:09:53 pm »

Semi noob here,

In DF mode, once you have chosen the embark location/size, can you ever interact with or visit the rest of the world? Or only on subsequent playthroughs/adventures? There seems to be a hard border on my world that doesn't leave me much room to play

Thanks

So far the only interaction is through siegers, caravans and diplomats.  There's no leaving your embark site.

The next version will allow you to retire your fort to found a new one, but that's all that's going to change in the near future.  Unless Toady does more with hill dwarves and cavern fortresses.

In the long term future it will be possible to send out armies, but that's years off, most likely.
