World activity static in Fortress mode?
« on: January 15, 2010, 05:31:14 pm »

So while you are in Fortress mode does the rest of the world kinda freeze. Suck as, are new history/events being created/happening? Or is everything outside the Fortress map static until you lose?

The stuff that happens in worldgen doesn't really happen anymore; it's all up to what you do in Fortress and Adventure Modes, really, as well as whatever random junk (such as carp or troglodytes murdering people) you witness.

Oh ok. I was just wonder because I pissed the elves off enough for them to attack me and they killed a human caravan, so I was thinking that might spark off a war between them (and also the dwarves since my fortress is a mountainholme.

I think that probably would start a war, but if the elves attacked the human caravan, it probably means they were already at war. Like Rorax said, don't think they'll actually send armies after each-other, but if you recruit a member of that elven civ and go into a town of the human civ, there may be some bloodshed.

Why does my adventurer keep crying?
Greiger's is actually correct...  sadly enough.  The emotional circumstance processor is still turned on, with a randomly rolled up personality, but they can't express themselves or take control...  they can only cry.

I'm not sure if that would spark off a war between other civs. Civs tend to blame you for whatever befalls them at your fortress, unfortunately.

You can somewhat affect world events in Fortress mode.
