Well, I was derping around and I saw a town, so I thought "I could trade some of the stuff I had found from killing that master". So I head over there to find an armor shop and a weapon..instead I found a bunch of abandoned shops.

If someone tells me how to take a picture I'll show you.

The only thing that I found was a leather shop and a woven shop with no one in it.

I went to the castle in the middle of the town and really no one was in it. Only a gem cutter and a hunter.

Has anyone seen this before?

Oh it says a goblin is here so I think thats why the town is mostly uninhabited.

The market shop is there and barley filled with merchants.

Depopulation. That, and a bug caused by the denizens of world gen deciding to build new shops, abandon them and build new ones instead of renovating old ones.

To take a screenshot, press the 'print screen' key. It's usually near the home/end/pg up/pg dn keys. Then open up a paint and paste it and save.

Upload to img.ie or other similar service.

The worst part of all of this is that Shakerag won.

It happens sometimes. Might it have also to do with hostiles activity? Because it's seemingly started becoming a nuisance ever since I modded in beastmen, birdmen and lizardmen from the strongest vanilla "man" creatures as steel-wearing hostile civilizations. Like, "an empty town? again?"

Maybe it's like those combat reports you see posted in fortress mode forums where one guy has warded off a siege - again.

I once found a town with literally nobody else in it than a demon deity. He was wearing stuff made from the citizens, too. Too bad I deleted that save, but the jewelry found there seemed to suggest he wasn't their leader straightaway.

It is said knowledge is like a foul-smelling herb. It must be cooked well and thoroughly with experience to make it palatable. A young scholar's knowledge is therefore not only worthless but disgusting. -- In Dwarf Fortress you have another paradigm. Gather as much of that smelly herb as you can and toss it at your enemy, fracturing his skull through the +capybara man leather cap+.

I bet vampires have something to do with it as well. Since they seem to kill so often having few vampires in a city could probably kill off large parts of the population.

People die of old age. The best way to avoid this is not to run world gen for more than ~125-200 years.
