Challenge: Adam & Eve embark
« on: May 10, 2010, 06:51:00 am »
I'de like to try a fort that starts with only two dwarves, and not using any immigrants.

Question: How do I get the game to embark with two (preferably opposite sexed) dwarves?

Kill off the other dwarves.

Problem solved.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.

It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

if there is no women, which is pretty usual for df2010 now, it does not solve anything until first migrants. and kind of screws the challenge.
Also, as i understand, there is no incest in game, so only first generation of dwarves will continue the work of their adam & eve.

Whenever i read the "doesn't care about anything anymore" line, i instantly imagine a dwarf, sitting alone on a swing set. Just slowly rocking back and forth, somberly staring at the ground, and stopping every once in a while to sigh.
It's mildly depressing.

In other words, you need 4 dwarves to have a sustainable population.

For added fun, mod the dwarves to live for 9-10 years, so they die of old age and have to surrender their responsibilities to the next generation.

Heh, tried an embark where I skilled out just two dwarves, but by the time I got situated, Adam got himself a lover! So I named her Lilith, and sent her on a mission to go slay the mighty alligator...

Oddly, the alligator just runs away every time he sees her (40d16). Maybe it's like dragons and virgins, where she's got a special blessing from the Great and Terrible RNG that no foul beast may touch her.

If a dwarf's only lover dies, he won't be able to remarry. I suggest saving Eve for the next generation?
