World activities

Эта статья нуждается в переработке. Причина: Требуется перевод

As time passes in Dwarf Fortress, certain activities happen in the world, outside of the player's influence and without their direct input. In older versions, any activity stopped after world generation finished. Changing this is what is usually referred to as "world activation".

Advancing time

Every time before you start a new fortress or adventurer, the calendar is advanced by two weeks. Otherwise time passes at normal fortress/adventurer speed. "Restarting" world generation is not planned.

Types of activities

Succession

Historical figures can get married, have children, do their various jobs, and die. And all of their children do the same as they are also historical figures.

The various positions of Nobles will either be inherited by another historical figure or assigned to a new historical figure by the parent civilization when the position is vacated or they have an unfortunate accident. Conflicts over succession and illegitimate site ownership can emerge, and armed usurpations and insurrections can take place.

Site changes

Existing NPC sites are conquered, liberated, defended, destroyed, reclaimed and new sites are created[1] while playing. Bandits will loot villages, armies will conquer cities, and forgotten beasts will ransack fortresses. Abandoned Dwarf Fortresses can be reclaimed by the player later.

Movement

Consequently, all kinds of creatures and groups travel around on the world map: Caravans^{Требует проверки}, bandits, refugees and migrants, and armies. The various beasts don't physically travel on the map yet[2].

Armies move around the map while playing, for various reasons, including site invasion (not just to the player site), harassment, searching for work, reclamation of sites and more. As invaders need to actually travel the world map to get to your site, embarking close to a site of potential invaders increases the chances of an invasion. Other factors that influence the probability of an invasion are the "effective" population of said site^{Требует проверки}. In other words, how many soldiers the site can spare to attack you. While a site may have a high population, it may be occupied with other, more important campaigns than the player's site.^{Требует проверки}

The asterisks * on the fast travel map in adventure mode are creatures and armies moving around on the world map.

Information

Greetings from the mountainhomes. Let's discuss our situation.

In an active fortress session, the player will get information about current events through the liaison. During the meeting, you are presented with a wall of text listing all relevant (and irrelevant) information one after another. Currently this can be more or less ignored, as it doesn't contain much valuable information except in the case of conquest.
