Too many dwarves?
« on: April 22, 2012, 08:28:14 pm »
I have too many Dwarves. 26 freaking dwarves just arrived, and I don't know what to do with them all. Some suggestions?

military. Set a bunch of them to constantly train and forget about them, just check if they're not too unhappy once in a while.

also: popcap in d_init. It's not a hard cap, but will eventually stop migrants

Sounds good. I was planning on just drafting liek, 5 of them, but I could throw 20 of my newly-dedicated haulers into the military.

Ditto military; 20 dwarves = 2 squads = a respectable defense. Let the other 6 become engravers, planters, siege operators, masons...

You say 26 likes its a lot... Normal popcap, normal fort, 30 is my low end. Fort fills fast. 76 is my record.
