Abandoning a Fortress
« on: December 08, 2008, 07:13:41 pm »
When you abandon a fortress, does it continue to operate in the game world?  Or does everyone leave instantly and turn it into a deserted ruin?

It would be fun to start a few fortresses for a small Dwarf civ and then come back and do a national tour in adventurer mode.  Maybe even see how your old forts have grown since you left them.

Of course, you still can return to the fortress and loot it. Everything except very heavy stuff is strewn all over though.

That's why you put it in a bin with steel plate :)

1 adventurer with 10 adamantine axes is pretty much unstoppable as far as I can tell.

Back on topic - the best part about DF is always what's coming next.
