Best Migrants Ever
« on: April 06, 2012, 08:15:17 am »

The Migrants I just got are the best ive ever had. Not because of thier skills though (bunch of cheese making pressers...). But because of the pets they brought with them. Giant Cave Spiders. Two of them. Before this I had been going through the raws and adding the [PET] and [TRAINABLE] tags to a bunch of things. So guess what industry the useless migrants that came with them are going to be part of  :D

Yeah, I had the same thing. Migrant wave brought a war GCS, which helped a lot against the later roc and brush titan. It's awesome.

Not sure if they lay eggs or hatch them though. O:

Or a peasant. Disposable and a blank canvas, the possibilities are endless!

Um, a peasant may be a blank canvas, but a potter with decent skills and a good build is a canvas with paint.

I inevitably always abandon forts due to fps death. All my current inhabitants are more than welcome in my next fort. Around 30 legenday +5 miners and a few legendary +x, some carpenters at high skills, well skilled woodcutters, masons and engravers. Pretty much everyone is highly skilled in one thing or another.

except for some children that just grew up.

My best migrat wave ever happened was the first one in a fort. I got a legendary furnace operator.

I once got one with 6 cave crocodiles, those were really good as guards. Though that was an older game where I had removed exotic to try some of the exotic animals out, now they would probably go mad and kill loads of people in my fort.

As for skills I got one with 16 on weaponsmithing and armorsmithing and some in metal. Probably the most valuable skills that are hard to train.

My favorite (perhaps not best) migrant arrived with a competent hammer skill, and near 600 kills.  I kinda hoped that he'd have higher combat skills given all the action he's had through the years, but still, the dude was a hoss.
