my civ is dead. can it be "rebuilt"
« on: November 28, 2014, 09:31:26 pm »

long story short my civ is dead (every civ I know of is actualy, not sure about gobos or animal men civs, animal men can civ right?) I gened a smaller world but raised titan and megabeast pops, I was wondering if I establish multiple forts to a good enough level will I start getting caravans from those forts? :-\

I've always wondered this. I haven't had civs die all that often, and when they did, my fort was fast to follow, but I'd love to know the answer, for if/when it does happen to me.

My civ died around 77, I founded my fort in 255. Since then the merchants I've been getting have become historical figures. I've got a new king, baron, general, diplomat, and trade liaison out of merchants.

I generated a world like that and played it for a bit. But I abandoned the project 2 or 3 years in. I got traders and even migrants IIRC but the only enemies are necromancers and zombies. No gobbos, no elves, no humans... It lacks variety and FUN.

Ikr.

To answer the OP's question, the answer is likely "kind of".  The problem is, migrants will almost exclusively come from already created fortresses, although Toady should probably make it so that merchants don't come if there aren't any other fortresses.

To the OP, I think yes. Since a retired fort effectively counts as a regular fort, if one of them is the Mountainhomes ( I think you only get caravans from the MH) then you should. I think you can get migrants from any retired fort.
