Resurrecting dead dwarf civ to play as adventurers
« on: May 14, 2024, 06:12:12 am »
I had a plan to bring back the dead dwarf race by making a fort so i made a small fort and played for a couple seasons but dwarfs are still unable to be selected as adventurers even when i retire the fort and leave it as a functioning site. is there a size requirement or is this a bug?

If life were like DF, Toady's strange mood would have produced an Artifact Game of Awesome that menaces with spikes of code ten years ago.  
But it is not.
Instead, what we have is a single obsessive mason trying to carve Mt. Rushmore.

You can't start your adventurer at a player built fortress.

Conquest would work, as well as waiting for more non player sites to get reclaimed or built

it seems to not be possible i've conquered some former goblin hamlets and still cant play as a dwarf. maybe once every civ of a race is dead its impossible to recruit adventurers

If you're not averse to using DFhack, it has an unretire-anyone or bodyswap command that will let you play as anything you like. IIRC there have been people on the forum games that used those commands to play as wildlife or livestock.

Not sure what civ you'll get assigned to if you use it though.
