Um...can I get some advice on this function?


Like...what's it's purpose, and how do I use it correctly?


I've just been randomly tossing useless dwarves into it. I have a feeling that's not the correct way to do it...


Um, I'm speaking generally here. Figured most of the community could give me a simple explanation.

I start Adventure mode and make a new adventurere, because I suck and they always, ALWAYS die.

So, I make a human...swordsman? Maceman? I think it was maceman...

And I start in the town. I noticed something wrong right away; there was an elf child in the mayor's house.

Confused, I wandered outside. I saw an adult elf.

I walked into houses and found them empty.

Shops, lifeless, no merchandise.

Elf children everywhere.

Fearing that the elves were taking over, I went berserk and started attacking everyone. The elves died. But I came upon a human; the mayor himself.

The mayor was a peasant.

A peasant.

I killed him, too, then wiped out the rest of the town which was strangely...underpopulated.

In the whole town, there was only one human peasant. There were a lot of elves.

I could not live in a world where humanity was nothing more than mere puppets for the treehuggers, so I layed down in the dirt and gave in to starvation.

(Note: The preceding events were partially dramatized. I got bored so I let the adventurer die so I could go to bed. I think.)


So...yeah, pretty weird experience.
