Where do your citizens go after abandonment?
« on: October 13, 2022, 04:04:33 pm »

Say you had a massive city that lasted in-game decades with a ton of personal history on your dwarves
What happens to them after that? Do they go to the mountainhome in defeat or spread across the dwarven kingdom?

If there's no lands left to call their own do they immigrate into neighbors?

Similarly if I exile everyone where do they tend to turn up(providing you don't start a new fort and they simply move there)

They tend to move into other sites owned by their civ, but can also disperse into other civs. They'll hang around the fort for a while, too, before they find a place to go.

If they don't have another site, they might all go into other civs, or occasionally settle in abandoned sites and claim them.

Where they go after exile is basically the same; wherever.
