Command: `on-new-fortress`

Run commands when a fortress is first started.

This utility command checks to see if the current fortress has just been created (that is, the “age” of the fortress is 0, which is only true on the first tick after the initial embark).

You can specify multiple commands to run, separated with `;`, similar to multicmd. However, if the fortress is not brand new, the commands will not actually run.

## Usage

    on-new-fortress <command>[; <command> ...]

## Example

You can add commands to your `dfhack-config/init/onMapLoad.init` file that you only want to run when a fortress is first started:

    on-new-fortress ban-cooking tallow; ban-cooking honey; ban-cooking oil
    on-new-fortress 3dveins
    on-new-fortress enable autobutcher; autobutcher autowatch
