What do i have to do to the raws so my starting seven can be the last (or first) dwarves? (as in no migrants)

[jfs]

What I gather, you can't prevent immigration completely, but if you set [POPULATION_CAP:10] in your init.txt you won't get more immigrants after you hit 10 adults. A lower number will for whatever reason not prevent immigration, just make it much slower, but a cap of 10 will completely stop immigration past the limit of 10.
If you don't want children born either, set [BABY_CHILD_CAP:0:0] as well.

[They Got Leader]

Go to your init.txt file in data/init file. Open that .txt. Press ctrl F to bring up the search box and look for "pop". Should bring you to the [population_cap] which you can set to 7 which makes it so that no dwarves will come unless you have less than 7 dwarves. Else just set it to 0 so then no dwarves come ever.

[SugaSuga]

What I mean so my guys are the ONLY dwarf civ.

[They Got Leader]

Ooooh, so there are no other dwarf civs? Sadly, you really can't do that (I believe). If possible, it is beyond my knowledge.

Edit the dwarf entry in the ENTITY tags to reduce their influence, and then keep genning worlds till you get the result you want.

[Beanchubbs]

Completely nerf the dwarfs and beef up the other races. Then change it back once you get a dwarf-less world. This should help in exterminating the dwarves. If not, just gen a world with nerfed dwarves and kill whatever ones that are left in adventure mode, shouldn't be too too hard.

[Pheo]

Change the [MAXAGE:150:170] tag to [MAXAGE:10:11] before world gen. Dwarven civs will be spawned naturally, but they do not reproduce the first generation will reproduce, but the second will not and die in 11-12 years.

The result: the 7 dwarves you embark with are the only ones in the world! (30ish years after world gen)

Don't forget to change the maxage tag back before embark so your dwarves do not have the same fate.

[Ieb]

What I did once was edit the entity file for dwarves to make their max population 1. At times though, they somehow managed to recreate(stupid spores), but most often the few dwarves that were got stomped by a megabeast.

[slink]

I believe that you can accomplish this by removing the seasons from the Dwarven entity definition, after worldgen.  If an entity definition has no seasons then the caravans never arrive.  It is said that the migrants never arrive if the Liaison never comes, and that happens with the first Dwarven caravan.

That's not the same as being the only last seven dwarves in world.

With no dwarven civilization, I recall someone saying you couldn't play Fortress Mode at all, simply after pressing "start game" you couldn't choose Fortress Mode.

Another thing I'm unsure of, will nobles like the kind or DM arrive without a liason? And without a civilization at all? Will your mayor become the king of a new civilization started by your sevens?

[Loyal]

Makes sense; part of the process of choosing an embark site is choosing which dwarven civilization you come from, from which also comes your embark supplies.

[wagawaga]

Yet some people claim you can embark without a home civ, while some others say you cannot.

There is a lack of consistency here.

[SkyRender]

The difference is if there CAN be a home civ potentially.  Ie. if there are no Dwarves in a world but the species could exist there (for example, if you used an adventurer to kill off all of the inhabitants of a world), but there's no worldgen parameters preventing their existence, then you'll find that you can still play Fortress mode in a dead world.  However, if the parameters would never allow for a Dwarven civilization to rise, then you can't build a fort with them.

This succession game might be of interest to you.

It's an Age of Death game, and includes the raws used to create an Age of Death world.

Age of Death = No civilizations at all.
