« on: November 21, 2010, 04:43:23 am »

Downloaded 3.18 and created a world.There are currently like 8 dwarfen civilication,everyone atleast 5 tiles big.The biggest one is 15!!!!!! Tiles big.In .3.17 the biggest I ever got was 3 or 5 tiles.So is that just a coincidence or are the dwarfes now more agressive

Surely you've found the canon world.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

Why do you say that kobolds die of old age younger than dwarves?
Their lifespans are both 150-170 years.
Also, "shorter than they used to" is wrong, the lifespans have been unchanged for Armok knows how long.

Not necessarily.  "Dwarven" is just the spelling popularized by Tolkien- "Dwarfen" is just as valid (especially if you're a Terry Pratchett fan).


Actually, nevermind.  The adjective the game uses is "dwarven," so technically we should use that.

This fortress is turning into some kind of supervillain lair or something.
You do remember that you've been farming gigantic wingless dragon-fish for profit and Fun, right?

How about dweemer? :D can we use that? or do we have to wait until we can build golems?

Just don't set your megaproject to be 'Build own god using heart of semi-deceased god.'  The entire  civilization disappearing suddenly would not lend itself to Fun  :P

It's an outlier, but that doesn't mean it can't happen.  How many civs did you start with?

Scrolling through the list I usually see a bunch of fivesies with one or two big empires.

I've got the elevation variance moderately high so they've got a lot of mountain range perimeter to work with but also no particularly huge mountains. Don't know if that's really why or not but it seems plausible.
