I think my Dorf might be dead by now, statistically anyway. Can I get a redorf? Military profession, please.
Alrighty, so I've had altogether less time to play than I had hoped this weekend. That said, I should be able to churn stuff out mid-week. In the meantime, I did a couple of quick checks. Firstly, yes, Eoganachta has died somehow somewhere. Do you have any preferences on weapon? We have everything except swords and maces.
Secondly, I did a quick check, and the starting civ is still listed, albeit still without leaders. I don't know if that means anything, but at least it's still referenced. If worst comes to worst, I can do a check after my turn to see if it's still around.
Searching on the forums, that suggests they went extinct, though Legends said they sent a caravan as late as last year. I abandoned and went around the world as an adventure, and all the forts I checked were abandoned though I didn't make it to the Basement of Murder mountain home. Interesting, Deathgate shows up as a Mountianhome (you can also see this in Fortress mode on the stocks screen in the corner. As far as I can tell, the fort never even ended up a barony. If we're the last standing fort though, I think we auto-become a mountianhome though ...
Legends mode is pretty interesting. During worldgen, all the megabeasts/demons died out, and the world entered the Twilight Age.
For those unfamiliar with ages:
"The Twilight Age was a time when fantastic creatures no longer lived in great numbers". The wiki says that civilizations are there are no wars, but no civilization has the resources to expand.
After a few hundred years of that, the world progressed into the "Age of Fairy Tales".
Toady One's devlog sums it up pretty well
"I finally saw a world arrive at the Age of Fairy Tales, which happens if mundane creatures (ie humans) make up at least 90% of the world's civilized population with the requirement that there are still a few fantasy creatures lurking around. In this case, it was a kobold cave that their scouts never found. I guess all of the fairy tales were about people having their crap stolen."
The Age of Fairy Tales was a time when fantastic creatures were few and far between, and some even doubted their existenceI've a bit confused on how groups work in Legends mode, but there are a *ton* of mountian homes listed, some with only one entry followed by "an attempt was made to reclaim" or something like that.
I also found the battle where the elfs were finally eliminated ...
The Crazy War was waged by The Confederation of Exalting on The Berry of Gazes. The most significant cause of the conflict was a dispute over
the devouring of the bodies of sapient beings.
