Hermit problems!
« on: December 28, 2013, 07:07:31 am »

I'm trying to do a Hermit challenge fort ( in Masterwork ) , but my dwarf is stuck making coffins and burying all the dead migrants and he can't do anything else.
Does anyone have a way to stop these migrants from coming or stop them from rising from the dead ( So i can just kill and leave them) ?
Or does anybody have a world in which the dwarves are extinct?

You can't stop the first two migrants waves, they're hard-coded in; they'll even arrive in worlds where dwarves are extinct. However you can drop your population cap down to one, which should stop all the rest.  You can do this via the settings GUI, and I believe it *will* affect an existing game, so it's probably exactly what you want.

Afaik the dwarvish diplomat has to meet you and to make it back alive for the popcap to work ;)
So you have to meet him once. Or give the leadership to some immigrant, give him a table outside your fortress and let him meet the diplomat... afterwards you are free to live alone.

I have tried that, but it doesn't work.
It's also hardcoded that pop cap doesn't work when you have fewer then 4 dwarves.

in the launcher, set pop cap to 0. Save your game, CLOSE df, relaunch DF, and you'll not get another migrant wave again (bar the first two year 1 waves). Works flawlessly for me and this challenge. :)
