☼ Cities ☼

Apparently people are having a bit of trouble getting the largest cities, so I thought I'd share this:

Have you looked into its population in something like Legends Viewer?

I've had some, myself, and the reason they could climb to 10,000 population was because it had 10,000 goblins in it.  Goblins do not age (or die of old age) and do not starve, which are the two leading causes of death in DF right now, making goblins the perfect race to build huge and crowded cities.

That's what I'm assuming is the cause, as it is a nonvanilla race of citybuilders that were dying out before I removed their maxage tag. So that would probably be a reliable way to gen cities in vanilla.


As an aside, checking into the emerald demon that pretty much made this civilization singlehandedly was rather interesting. The thing repeatedly made threats of torture and death, was associated with torture, and wrote books on the history of torture. Also, books on how to be a proper Orc, and books on how to appropriately worship it. Of particular note were these two books written consecutively:

"The Secret of Civilization", by Eslul
"It Must Have Been Eslul", by Eslul.  :P

The secret of civilization is torture.

Huh.
