YES :D

you didn't just buy a management sim when you got this game :D

when this game only had one z level, I believe the fort would end when it was destroyed and an adventurer would go in to tally up your fort.
that became adventure mode.

Theres a vid I love to watch about this game.

its old, but the dwarf fortress they play, IS the dwarf fortress on steam.
steam version isn't complete, but updates ARE coming.
and you WILL be able to do all this and more

the code for bother steam and classic is the same game. :D

Keep in mind if you choose to abandon/reclaim your fortress, bins and goods will be scattered all over the fortress. You'll have to set some things back up like stockpiles I think.

Also if you abandoned it during, say, a forgotten beast attack, the beastie may still be lurking there when you reclaim. Same goes for your wolf problem.

Yes, just uh... keep in mind the game may slow down noticeably when approaching your fortress in adventure mode. 😅

If you do retire and start a fort relatively nearby, you'll likely get some of the dwarves from your old fort as immigrants. So you can work that into your calculations.

Abandon/succumb mean the fortress is lost. Retire mean it continue its life without you.
Should you reclaim the first, you'll have nobody inside except perhaps for the enemies that brought an end to it.
For the second option, you'll get the fort back with the people in it. Some may have moved elsewhere/died in the time it took between retiring the fort and reclaiming it.

In both cases, you'll get the stockpile content, but in classic (didn't try in steam) it was thrown all over the map.

Retire is the "pause" option. It allows you to come back to the fort as it was. Abandon does that, abandons the fort, which allows you to go and reclaim it with a new embark, if you choose.

whats the purpose of retire then ? what is that for ? i dont get pause benefit

It's for starting another fort and knowing you can always come back to the other fort in the same world/save

Why you just dont play with werewolf nation? Its a big luck to have three alive werewolves that didnt kill each other

i even didnt know that they are killing eachother but they become friendlike because of they transformed same animal

You have three, godlike, almost immortal weredwarfs, i think you need just wait new migrants and spread your virus, have a weredwarf nation!

In my fort it can take up to 2years. You retired when they were about to come.

[Guided]

migrates can be tricky.

more of a when it rains it pours kind of deal :/
the further away they are the longer it can take for them to reach you, since they tend to move across the map itself.

but sometimes its just a case where, they are happy where they are :/
