Running the newest version that I downloaded this morning.

I began my fifth season with 18 dwarfs.  As in this is my 2nd spring.  13 adults, and 5 children.  I just had a migrant wave (tidal wave!!!) that boosted my population up to 79 dwarves!

Is this a bug?  Has anyone else seen this?  My luck, my brand new fortress will probably have an ambush or siege...

Also, while I'm posting, I have two chained war dogs at my entrance.  The tunnel is 2 wide, and both dogs are in the tunnel.  I've had multiple goblin thieves in my fortress that went completely undetected by the dogs.  Given that the tunnel is 2 wide, there is no possible way that the thieves did not enter an adjacent square to the dogs.  Yet they still got by undetected...

Anyone else?

Edit:  Just counted.  40 children.  Do these little critters count towards seige totals?  Wowsers.

I wonder if this relates to your world history and such. How far are you from your civ? How old is your civ? I'm getting very curious about how migrants are determined, now that they're not necessarily generated for each wave, but are historical.

Not a bug, and very common. Civs have more migrants to throw into the grinder nowadays

I had that happen when on my first fortress. Thank god I was following a tutorial and already had reached magma by that time. So I did a little experiment to see who could outrun lava faster. I had a 55 migrant wave with 13 dwarfs before it. At the end, i only had 27 dwarfs and a whole lotta smoke.
