Getting a "random" amount of embark points...
« on: March 07, 2011, 07:54:11 pm »
Hi

I'm using a copy of DF 0.31.19 that came with the Lazy Newb Pack

I am getting anywhere between 250 and 0 embark points when I choose a starting site and I have no idea why.  Could a kind person spell this out for me?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: It seems like I just keep getting 70 every time now.

The default items cost money too, you know.

Yeah, I am aware of that, but what I am wondering is why my embark points are changing when I am choosing different sites.  Am I getting more or less "default items" depending on the site I choose?  I haven't noticed any difference in my item load-out.

I'm going to do some more testing.

Well, if your parent civ is changing then your default items would be changing according to what's available. They might be changing based on local supply and demand too depending on where you embark, but I don't know that to be something that happens. Feel free to check.

It does. Depending on your parent civ, you might not have access to iron or copper or something, adjusting the amount of points you have left.

For future reference, put it here.
