IIRC the limit is only towards how many notable megabeasts and semi-megabeasts. Course, I'm not too sure of the starting limit.

The starting limit is 2, easily acquired if they're wimps and you've killed more squirrels than they have.

Did you mean to say that the limit of companions is equal to the number of megabeasts and semi-megabeasts you've killed?

this interests me as well, but your grammar hurts my brain, it doesn't like to function beyond it's resting levels.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

That makes sense since after I killed two semi megabeasts no more than two people could follow me.

NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I once started as a swordsman and shield user and armor user(And other crap) And I Instantly got 7 companions. they were all like 'WOW ITS YOU' and 'BRING ME T' GLOR'Y AN' DEATH!!!' and then we soet of to kill a hydra. I had little luck because the cock sucking hammerman was the one who 'killed her'... Yeah right, lucky shot you bastard!!!

THINGS THAT INCREASE COMPANION NUMBER
1. HIGH TRAITS (AGILITY, STRENGTH, ECT, ECT)
2. GOOD STATS (SWORD, SHIELD, ECT,  ECT)
3. KILLING OF NAMED/HISTORICAL FIGURES

The learning curve of the df forums should be equal to that of df itself.

well makes me wonder about the adventure trait does this trait in your companions follow your limit?
edit: yes it does have a effect on your limit, so my next test is seeing how many can one get when their stats are max out. so far I just pick up 13 companions from a human town.

edit edit: 12 companions before they cut you off is how many I could get with no kills but high stats.
so I take it if you slaughter enough you can recruit an entire town.

Damn you verbs!

Yeah, that's pretty much it. You also need to report to the figure that gave you the quest in the first place.
