I advise you to try and train some dwarves on Military Tactics, cause It hurts a lot to send out a heavy equiped squad to raid an elven forest retreat and have them lose the battle even when the odds were in our favor, just because the squad leader didn't know a thing about battle tactics...

If Sethatos want, he can raise the population cap once again, but this time, every wave of immigrants that he receive, shall be turned into military, trained and sent out on missions to conquer the neighbouring lands, that's what I'm planning to do on my current fort, raise the pop cap up to 150 or something, and have something like 4 or 5 full squads, send out 2 squads to conquer a land, receive immigrants, put these guys to train, and send them out again to conquer another land.
Haven't all the prospective migrants died of old age by now?

There's currently two large invasions happening at once. The elves and goblins are spawning in right next to each other while the dwarves relax and watch through the glass walls.

Damn, I'm kind of envious.
My longest fort only lasted about 7 years and the FPS was also down to 5-10 which made me kind of get bored with the fort.
Your ancient fort gave me new motivation to start playing again, so thanks for that! :D

Keep it up!

Glad your enjoying it! And thanks again to everyone who has commented and followed so far.

So I've upgraded to 44.12 and it now says a bunch of the goblin pits to the north are economically linked to Archcrystal:

All of the capital "E"s are goblin pits that are economically linked to Archcrystal. I'm not sure what that means considering we're still at war with the Feral Doom which is the goblin civilization that owns those sites. I mean we have been kicking the crap out of them for centuries so maybe they just align with us now? :)

Also, new version giving me 16 FPS!!!!! I've never felt so alive.

Might be somehow linked to the Terror/Vengeance import/export agreement easter egg you see in the trade screen while viewing a goblin civ.

Maybe, but the rest of the goblin pits to the south owned by the Feral Doom are not economically linked. Also, every other civilization we're at war with doesn't have any economy links either.

FYI economically linked sites that aren't your civ are bugged, you need to raid them to make them work right

Yeah the holdings seem pretty buggy in general. I've had two of these pop up now:



They are goblin pits from the closest goblin civ at war with us, still owned by them.

Clearly their economies are now so closely linked to the endless war against you to such a degree that they consider you an economic partner despite trying to exterminate you for 400 straight years

Goblin : Let us trade okay?
Dwarf: ...okay ?
Goblin : Alright now we'll be applying steel and aluminum tariffs. This is war, dwarf, this is war
