Yeah, they had a forum before, according to the google cache.

If you want to remove all of your fortresses from the world, and make it how it was right after worldgen, you can get its seed and regenerate it. In Legends mode, you can export the world gen param (including the seeds) and copy the world-gen information into worldgen.txt. Then, you can generate a new world, exactly as before, brand new, without any of your fortresses on it.

Other than using the seed to create an identical world, however, there is nothing you can do. Forts are saved into the world itself.

Boogymen and night creatures are very difficult. I love this. It makes you actually want to have followers who are not just meat-shields.

Also, when playing around in the arena, it seems that elves are now represented by "e". (as apposed to "E") Is there a reason for this? Not that I dislike the change.

Since enemies do it too, maybe Fortress Mode people will do it too.

If so, WOOT.

Even if not, this will be a very awesome release.

Getting "drunks", "master thieves", and other strange professions is a glitch in 31.13, maybe because DF now pulls migrants from existing populations. It'll probably be fixed in 31.14.

I had the 'Some migrants have arrived at this fortress, knowing it may be their doom' message too, before anyone died, and a Drunk showed up. The drunk died shortly after from a yeti that was terrorizing my fort. I guess they were right about the doom part. Maybe they sensed the yeti that had just destroyed my wagon and trade depot.

I also got a legendary migrant. He's a blowgunner, but with other cool fighting skills as well. He is the first legendary migrant I have ever received across all versions, and I made him my military commander.

...should I wait until 31.14 before my next migrant wave?

They infinitely spawn (in 31.#), but you can certainly try to reduce the population as much as possible. In legends, they are listed as "unnumbered", same as some insects are listed, so you need to kill at least 28 million per demon type as you put in your world gen parameters,, and hope that you don't have any unkillables(i.e. demons made of steam). OR, you could floor over hell.
If you try it, good luck. I don't think it has ever been done before.

Sites with huge amounts of people should make it more fun and tougher to destroy a civilization as an adventurer. ~4000 people in a large town? Try fighting all of them. A REAL adventurer challenge.
