100 vs. 200 dwarfs
« on: March 29, 2010, 01:37:14 am »
In the init.txt, it says under population caps that you need 80 for a king and 100 for current game features.  So what are the benefits of having 200 dwarfs over 100?  A huge army perhaps?

It seems like 100 dwarfs would be just as enjoyable with much better FPS.

It's perhaps more enjoyable if you've gotten a supercomputer. Besides that; No reason.

The init is actually kind of wrong - you need 140+ for a duke, which is what's required to get 'The Incoming King' on your nobles screen. I think once you get 140 dwarves you're free to kill 60 of them and can still get a king, but you do need more dwarves just to make sure it works step-by-step.

you sure about that? Ive got king after a while playing with 100 dwarves ( but he died cause of melancholy anyway... ) And before king i had a Baron, did not had duke.

There's getting the King naturally, and there's getting the king because you found the good stuff
