Any recent news? Also, any way to donate to your cause?

Small update. I've been cleaning up the considerable amount of nonsense spawned by going from fort mode to adventure mode and back. All my quantum stockpiles were broken (starting to think these are more hassle than they're worth). Killing the elves, humans and animals doesn't seem to start any wars. Some of the visiting dwarves applied for citizenship.

I thought I read somewhere that they eventually leave the fort, but I haven't experienced that. We did learn that a wagon has been missing for nearly a week. >.>

In any case, I have an update on my fort, Empireabbey of the Black Dutiful Panther of Anger. Since Lorebite was killed by a wandering army of giant hyenas, I received 2 migrations of 15 dwarves total. When I unretired the fort, I noticed the liaison from my Mountainhome lingering in the southern part of my lands. He seemed aimless. Next, a trade caravan showed up and the game text said "No outpost liaison? How interesting..." This made me think that the hostile people on my land were actually just missing and possibly thought to be dead. My outpost liaison was a goblin named Pis. I was reluctant to kill him for fear that the trade caravan would become hostile, but I did it anyway seeing that, somehow, goblins are taking over my kingdom through means of infiltration. He didn't last long against my elite swordsdwarf, Firebox, with something like 70 kills to his name. I wish Legends Browser showed a complete list of kills as it does in Viewer. After Pis was killed, there were no retaliations from the present dwarf caravan. Hopefully, I get another liaison soon.

I have a feeling that these migrants and the caravan are simply a result of reclaiming the fortress. It's a good thing though, because I had only like 28-30 dwarves surviving on their own. If it weren't for my traps, they may have been killed off long ago.

Thanks for the replies. OK I have played a bit more in this game, and I made some discoveries. The dwarf king, who was still alive, died recently. I believe the original, very first city (assuming that is the mountain home) was taken by elves and then abandoned.  There are two other kingdoms of dwarves, but dwarves, as a race, are the least populous (excluding the kobolds). Since the king died, a goblin DID replace my king –– the filthy thing. I have a mind to chase this guy down and take the kingship away from him. It would be interesting to see what happens. However, since my dwarf is technically a member of the human kingdoms, my character would have to become a hearthperson of my fort in order to be eligible for king? I mean it might be randomly chose, and if my character is not a hearthperson, the kingship would definitely not include my character in the RNG.

If I could figure out how to attach a file to the post, I'd show you some pictures of the Legends Browser race pie chart. I click the "Attachments and other options" button below the composition window, but no option for attaching files shows up.

The bad news is now that the goblin king's dwarven home town was also taken over by humans, and that set him to wandering the world. He did something "in the depths of the world," resurfaced to settle in a new city, then was spotted visiting a human settlement.  HAHAHA What do I do? How can I help the dwarves rise up and reclaim their spot on the map! We're losing to pitiful humans and elves!

Thank you all for the information. I appreciate all the help!

Is there any chance to get this updated for .40?
