Way out find out about CIVS after embark
« on: January 22, 2012, 02:42:01 pm »
Okay

I embarked and started to dig our my fort. First thing i checked was that the map had clay,flux,shalow metals and deep metals. Indeed it did

What i forgot to check though was the civilizations present. Is there a way that i can check this without abandoning fort?

Every Dwarf Fortress Fort is a concentration camp, only without the nazis.

Alternatively, use a bridge-a-pult to launch dorfs off the map, then wait for them to come back.  :P

They won't show up on (c)ivilizations menu until they've sent some sort of representative to your fort, so just wait and cross your fingers.

its important to note that thieves and snatchers are nothing more than misinterpreted kobold and goblin representatives.

Unless they say hello by stabbing you and stealing socks, they're not doing a good job of representing their civs :|
