Embark points on Reclaim
« on: August 08, 2011, 08:42:54 am »

Hello Urist,

I was wondering if you can change the amount of embark points after a world has already been generated, specifically when reclaiming a fortress.

Thanks for your time.

you can reclaim a few times and let the wagons pile up, then for the last reclaim you could spend most of your points on skills if that is what you require.

Exactly. Ethics in DF are very realistic - trivial and pointlessly selectively ex/inclusive.

Actually, when you abandon without dismantling the wagon and coming back to the fort site on reclaim, the previous wagon was gone and its contents were spilled out all over the place. This has happened to me before.

Just retested, both wagons and contents are present, it might depend on the environment, pic pending.

Huh. I've never had that happen before. I abandoned my first fort before I took my wagon apart. I reclaimed it, and found the wagon gone and its contents spilled out all over the site.

Thanks for the tip for reclaiming multiple times but I just took away from some skills to make it work.

Oh yeah: Nazis.  Now I lost the argument.  So you can't argue with me anymore.  Nyah.

You can sort of increase embark points by changing the value of whatever it is that's eating up your points. So you could reduce steel's value to 3 for the embark, and as long as you were selecting steel items you'd have effectively 10x the world-generated number of points.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.
