Population cap.
« on: April 03, 2009, 10:56:35 pm »

So I have my 7 starters, and have set the pop. cap to 7, and the baby cap to 5:50%

Will this make it so that my population will only grow by child-birth? Because that's what I want.

I think the baby cap sets what percentage of your population will be children before the game disallows pregnancies, so setting it at fifty percent would be pretty low for only seven dwarves.

And I remember anecdotally that you'll still get a migrant wave if the pop cap is set to seven, for some reason. However, I can't vouch for this statement's accuracy.
