I have created a world that is almost perfect in any way I can think of, it has lots of caves, a high Titan number and all races are still alive and thriving... all exept the dwarfs, they went extinct around year 50.

I know that I will only get 2 waves of migrants if I settle on this world, but what happens after that?
Will I still be able to get a baron?
Will some day a new king arrive? Or will one of my dwarfs be selected as king/queen one day?

I have once read that a fortress that gets mountain home status (the king settles there) keeps going even after abandoning, is that true?
If so, does the fortress really become a real new mountain home? If I build another fortress after that, will it get migrants like normal when the dwarfs are still alive?

Still playing 31.12

Since your civilization has died out, you'll never get any dwarven caravans or liaison, which means it won't be possible for you to get a king in the first place.

Crap 
Well, too bad, back to world gen...

Wont different history seed help? Or stopping history before year 50?

Rebuild the dwarven civilization!

Start with your initial 7. Make sure no one dies. Make a 1x1 meeting zone and let everyone hang out and party together. Almost everyone should get married within a year of this.

Repopulate the world!

I've wanted to read that.  Sadly, I never have.  Because it isn't true: abandoning means abandoning.

I motion that the "abandon" option be replaced with "relinquish control" or somesuch once conditions are met, so that new mountainhomes actually can be new mountainhomes.  I'd even be willing to give up the "reclaim" option forevermore on that place.

Yeah, I already thought that this was just some misinformation, would have been too good to be true, especially in this case

Well, there is not much difference if I try out like 20 different history seeds until I find one where all civs survive and are in a condition similar to my current world, or if I just generate 20 completely new worlds.

Actually there is a difference; you'll probably have the same perfect world, but a working dwarf civ in a single generation (or two).
