[Lurker Z]

I haven't looked in Mabkor's history specifically, but from my experience it goes something like this:
* You either bring in people or you talk to the "abstract" ones already in town and make them historical figures.
* Those people make no children, die of old age or leave.
* They usually leave for two reasons: either they're travelers (some AI seem to have that coded into them, up to the point it's almost a glitch; most of those are scholars by the way, I think Avolition, Kesperan and Unraveller have unleashed the most of those who just won't sit in one place and spam a location's entry until they die one way or another) or the game gives them group rulership titles. The game does this because it's too lazy to make new historical figures for those rulership titles.
* This is how, by the way, the damn thralls spread so far and wide. An abstract unimportant number gets infected by an adventurer (say, Hannibal). Until then they either didn't exist more than abstract numbers or existed in some quantum flux state. A historical creature who had a position in a group dies, and the game forces an existing historical figure (usually, but not always, from the same civilization) into that position. Cue blighted thralls in all populated places of the world.

Well, there's no harm in trying. Maybe something great will come of it. It's an interesting mechanic to explore, if nothing else.

It may be some df-hackery, but this tends to be why I use it to marry many residents of my fortresses, and have a few children. Hoping that doing so will increase the chance of continued population.

[Eric Blank]

What is the df-hackery for that, by the way?

[kesperan]

I think it’s down to modifying entity relationships in gm-editor rather than a specific script in DFhack.

I did find a very effective pregnancy generator script though. It works in adventure mode too, and the parents don’t even have to be the same species…

[Unraveller]

'gui/family-affairs' is a quick and painless way to marry units in fortress mode.

Does this have an open slot, am currently reading through the first one and got curious if the new one was still accepting.

Always accepting! Welcome aboard as far as I'm concerned,  though it might be a few weeks befoee your turn arrives.

[Bralbaard]

Might be a few months actually, looking at the list. But welcome aboard!

I can wait a few months to contribute to the legend of the Museum, even if it is another corpse.

Welcome to the Museum! Hope you enjoy the stories in the first game too!

Read through the rules, and am now down for a turn.

Presumably theres still stuff to find, yeah?

[AvolitionBrit]

glad to see new faces wishing to join. Welcome

There's plenty to do. World seems to stumbling from one crisis to the next, and there are dozens of player forts to explore. You're added to the list.

[Quantum Drop]

Great to see some new faces around here. Welcome to the Museum, and I hope your turns go well when they come around.

Also, that reminds me: I'd like to sign up for another turn, Bralbaard.

[Bralbaard]

Done!
