Population cap being ignored (.13)
« on: September 21, 2010, 01:57:25 pm »
Before embarking, or even loading DF I made sure my d_init had my pop cap set to 30.

[POPULATION_CAP:30]

[BABY_CHILD_CAP:20:1000]

I was trying for a generation fort, but my current population is sitting at 60, with 7 kids/babies.
Am I doing something wrong?

The game ignores the population cap for the first two immigration waves or so.   After that it kicks in. 

If you're over the cap, just kill off a bunch until you're at the cap.  No more should show up.

Or start again, lock out the immigrants, and let the goblin ambush take care of them eventually.

So, if I'm over the cap already it will ignore it?
