On a reclaim, it looked like there were 30 or so dwarves available (from where, I don't know).

Obviously they were created by a divine power, just as were the original Dwarves in year 1.  The description of Tholtig Kavishrazes says "She was one of the first of her kind."  This is the same as the entries for year 1 and year 2 creatures.

She apparently was required as a sacrifice to Armok for the gift of magma.

For grins, I flipped the bit that controls multiple births from "Rare" to "Common".

It seemed prudent, in light of my inability to find immigrants.

I actually tried that once before. It doesn't work, sadly, because there's no such tag - it's the default to have multiple births common. Either just delete the tag entirely, or specify a litter size.

I just watched the same dwarf have twins and then triplets two years in a row (apparently knocked up while holding the other two). So she's now mining while juggling three infants and moving at lightning speed.

Since reclaim group size is dependent on the created wealth of the abandoned site, I postulate that dwarves are in fact spawned by the presence of riches. Or maybe there were just dozens of dwarves hiding out in caves until they heard about your fabulous baby haven.

What's the tag for the litter size?

[zchris13]

[liter size] or something similar

Checked the wiki, it's [liTTERSIZE:1:2]
the numbers are min, max

I want to see how a Dwarven mother carries octuplets.

It involves her beard.

Yeah, the non-functional tag has the same effect as none at all, but you might want to delete it anyway because it's going in your error log each time you open the game (This may not be important to you of course, and it won't affect the game, but if you're OCD like me...)

Another thing I just noticed -- no strange moods yet.

[Christes]

You need at least 20 dwarves to get a mood, I think.

Also, I'm not sure about the no immigrants thing.  I started in a world where the dwarves were wiped out and still kept getting immigrants...

[lordofhyphens]

It's been over 10 years, no migrants or caravans or anything. I haven't even seen a kobold or gobbo.

I'm going to try to see if I can trigger a spawn when my pop hits 50 and the Dungeon master (hopefully) arrives. I know my fortress wealth > 300k.
