Questions about migrants
« on: February 24, 2012, 09:26:48 am »

So, with the new version I've noticed 2 things:

1)Migrants come in much larger waves than before. This fort is only 2 years old but already has over 120 dwarves.
2)They're useless. Much more useless than in past versions. As in their skills are really low-level. Does this have something to do with the length of history during world gen?

Thanks in advance.

1) Yes, but the opposite is also true. Sometimes my second (or even first) wave consists of two dwarves.
2) Most migrants (miners seem fine) seem to show up with absolutely no labors (other than medical & hauling) turned off, regardless of skill. Most also seem to have at least some military skill, such as armor-using. I get the feeling most of my miners come from my abandoned forts, though.

Huh. I haven't had any miner migrants, so I guess your theory is true.

The worst part is that they don't actually show up with their picks, so I have 8 of them who have to share 2...
