In the game Dwarf Fortress, your primary goal is to increase or expand your domain by adding more Dwarves to your fortress. And in this article of mine, I shall tell you everything you need to know about the game Dwarf Fortress – how to get migrants.
So, should I start?
How To Remain ‘Attractive’
If Dwarf Fortress – no migrants coming is your issue with the game, then I shall like to suggest you should work on increasing your attractiveness.
To attract more dwarves to your fortress, you need to be more ‘attractive’. And here I am going to tell you how you can remain attractive. Because if you lose your attractiveness, you will see your Dwarf Fortress with no migrants.
To remain attractive, you have to lower the death count in your fortress. Because the migrants will come or leave your fortress depending on how safe they are inside there. If the death rate is high in your fortress any year, you will see very few migrants coming to your fortress in that particular year.
If there are blood losses in any season inside your fortress, then no migrants will come to you in that season.
That is why you need to make sure that your fortress is totally safe and secure if you want to remain attractive to the migrants.
How To Get More Migrants In Dwarf Fortress?
Below I am giving you a few tips that you can apply in your Dwarf Fortress to attract migrants.
- You will see a wave of migrants arriving every season. But they will stop arriving if your fortress reaches the maximum capacity. So if you see they are not coming to you, check whether you already have 200 migrants. If yes, then try to increase the population by having children.
- You can send a dwarf as a messenger to the Hillocks to invite more migrants. You can select a dwarf and assign him this job from the game menu. After choosing a dwarf and assigning him the job, open the world map and select any of the Hillocks and then press R. After this, you will get to see a menu where you will find a list of all Migrants along with all their skills. Now choose the dwarfs you want by looking at their skills. Finally, invite them by hitting Enter.
- As the next step, press Esc. This will help you to get out of the menu. The dwarfs will now start the journey toward your fortress, and within a few minutes, they will arrive there.
- You can build Dormitories, Taverns, and Temples. This also will attract migrants. When you have enough migrants inside your fortress, assign a job to each of them and expand your Fortress.
