THE ONE-NAME FORT

Can you create a fortress that has one hundred dwarves with the same first name?

How it works: When you're setting up your skills, take a look at the names.  Pick one of them to be your fortress name - extra points if it's "Urist" (although in my most recent game, dwarves named Monom were the best dwarves).  Go ahead and give that dwarf all the skills and leave the rest as peasants.  Kill them at first opportunity.  When you get migrants, check to see if any of them have the fortress name.  Any others, kill them too.  Cull any dwarves that show up to your fortress without your fortress name.  Try to get to 100 dwarves!

haha, sounds fun, but time consuming :/

and undwarf-like as well

Migrants will stop coming because of the death toll.

Assign the unwanted Dwarves to a walled-off chamber, and drop food and drink in there regularly (sp?) to keep them alive. Problem solved!

So how are you going to get 100 Urists if you've already reached the pop-cap with 4 Urists and 196 miscellaneous walled-off Dwarves? I don't see how your suggestion "solves the problem" and accomplishes the stated goal.

Well, what would you suggest?

Well, what would you suggest?

Picking a different challenge?... or just kill a few each year., gradually weeding out your non-Urist drones, without causing so much carnage that immigrants stop coming.

Was thinking that, but the problem is that you'll probably get more migrants than you can safely cull.


Unless, you just kill them all in one season, and just deal with not getting any migrants that season.
