I didn't notice this before, but he said "outer lands" vs. "Mountianhomes" which is what the trader usually says.

Is that because we are the mountianhome, or because dwarfs have gone extinct?

[wlerin]

Probably because we are the mountainhome. But it could be the other ... I don't know.

[ThatAussieGuy]

Not gonna lie, I did miss that update.  Either that or I mistook it for the Human traders.  And yes I did trade adamantine weapons as I thought this was a new development.  Went for the big spend as we had no real combat threats to the fort and it should (if at ALL possible), entice migrants.

[wlerin]

Yeh, re-reading it, it wasn't immediately clear they were the dwarf traders. But I had mentioned the possibility of dwarf traders several times before (and the human traders had already come and gone, with Mitchewawa blithely ignoring them the entire season).

[Urist McDwarfFortress]

Dwarven traders and their guards don't exist until they show up at your fort, and they no longer exist as soon as they leave. No dwarves exist, then suddenly, poof! here's 6 (or however many) dwarves in a caravan. Once they leave the map, they return to non-existence. The only effect those candy weapons will have is that the next caravan should be super rich.

I believe how the game works right now is that migrants are all now existing world entities. Since no dwarven entities exist in this world (outside of Deathgate), there will never be any more migrants, ever, no matter what we do (unless someone hacks the save).

Deathgate is on its own. Abandon hope all ye who enter here! But enter here anyway; we've got doomburgers!

[GentlemanRaptor]

Can we engrave that over the entrance? 'Cause that would be awesome.

[AnimaRytak]

I'd make a comment, but that would require coming out from my DoomBunker (TM). 

Seeing as how Aussie is the current overseer, that wouldn't be a prudent move.

[Eoganachta]

And here's your new dwarf

Spoiler:  Eoganachta (click to show/hide)

I forgot to add it here, but in the fort he is indeed marked with a "II"

As to Eoganachta, from my Legends notes:

Kosoth has been mayor since late spring 771. The year after her sister, and Kogan's mother, died.

Eoganachta III, and 12 other dwarves died that same month.

Unless there was an Eoganachta IV, your dwarf was killed in 772 along with the (current?) mayor's sister and my (now deceased) avatar's mother, --ahem, make that 771, I worded the original poorly. The other two were killed in 770 along with General Eoganachta.

Thanks for the Dorfing.
There does seem to be a high occupational hazard when overseeing Deathgate.

FTFY

[ThatAussieGuy]

I'll relabel him as Eoganachta IV when I play in a bit.  Not much has happened in my year, so the next update will run to the end of the year as diary entries like the previous ones.

[wlerin]

There wasn't an Eoganachta IV.

[ThatAussieGuy]

There wasn't an Eoganachta IV.

I don't know what you're talking about...

Just me mumbling to myself. Still half asleep and such.

[kefkakrazy]

Oh, good. I was worried that there were still dwarves in the world we hadn't put through the meatgrinder that is Deathgate.

I sincerely hope this "civ death" issue gets addressed. This really does feel like a cruddy way for a fort to end; slow death by attrition rather than flaming death by mass tantrum.

[wlerin]

It's not so bad for single-player forts, as you can just breed and breed until you have the numbers necessary to do things again. Can't really do that in the space of an in-game year though.
