Revision as of 21:28, 26 December 2015
A visitor or guest is a person who comes to your fort at random, to stay at a location. Initially, you will receive only about three visitors for each location, who are all curious about the location they are visisting. When they leave, they may bring back word of what your place is like, attracting more visitors. This may benefit your fort, for example by providing social contacts for your dwarves, or enlisting soldiers. However, if you prefer having a dwarf-only fort (save for the prisoner elves and goblins), you should make sure they do not leave alive.
Types of visitors
- Guest: will come to relax, and only provides social contacts and may perform in your inn. After they finis they diplomatic tasks, they may stay a while as guests.
- Scholar: will come to study, which includes reading books and discussing scientific topics with other scholars (including other visitors and your own dwarves), and may write books in your library.
- Mercenary: will come to get enlisted into the military. They will petition for long-term residency, and when you accept them, they can be added to any squad (note that they cannot be squad leaders) and will follow any order the squad receives. They are attracted by your inn.
- Performer: as the name suggests, will come to perform in your inn. They will tell stories, dance, make music, or recite poetry. They do this for fun, and will not ask anything in return. They may petition for long-term residency.
Note: This page was written by only a single person so far, so there may be more types of visitors not listed here.
Residency petitions
Sometimes, a visitor may come with the intent to stay in your fort on the long term. Mercenaries will always do this, but performers may sometimes do that too. When a visitor petitions for residency, they will meet up with your mayor. You will have the final say about whether the visitor will become a resident.
When you accept them, they will be added to the list of civilians in your fort as if they were a migrant. Their needs, preferences, and thoughts will be visible to them as normal, but they will not be able to have labours or occupations assigned. Aside from the reason why they came to your fort (such as performing in your inn), they may take brief breaks and do stuff in other locations in your fort.
