Anyone in fortress?
« on: March 01, 2011, 11:41:35 pm »
So, at another new adventurer. I start with the usual quest, kill an beast.After defeating an nightcreature with my hammerdwarf. I go to the nearest fort for finding meatshield companions!

I find only bunnies, lot of bunnies. I (naturally) kill some. It an abandonned fortress, isn't anormal...
Now, 3 forts, 3 forts full of animals. No humans, no soldiers. Just rabbies, monkeys, and other stupids animals.

A curse, or something?

I've been playing .18 because I've had no luck updating the Lazy Newb Pack to .19, and I'm too lazy to play w/o it.  :P

In any case, I've never found an abandoned fortress or town in this version, but I've heard that in .19 there are certain economic imbalances during world-gen that tend to result in civilizations starving to death on a fairly regular basis, and I think that is what results in the abandoned forts/towns?

Yea, i think it that.
All kobolds are deaths at year 4, and only 3 dwarfs civs remains (3 choices at adventurer start).
But damn, these turkeys are savages. Raiding a abandonned fort, and charging me. And now, in an evil forest, zombie turkeys!

That, in some ways, terrifying.

Yeah, I find a fair amount of abandoned forts. Interestingly the towns around them are inhabited usually.

In .18 I ran into a town that was dying while I was walking through it, so it can happen.

But yes, .19 is a tough world.
