Is there a way to mod it? Basically, i'm thinking of making Dwarves sort of Tolkienesque with 2:1 m:f ratio.

(the aim is to limit the number child rearing couples. The monogamy for life already fits it and the Tolkien dwarves very well)

You can try the CASTE level tag of POP_RATIO.  Just set a number in each of the MALE/FEMALE casts.

I tried this with hinds/harts to rarely have a white stag as a child, but they seemed way too common no matter what I set the numbers at...

Let me know if it has the desired effect.

Hmm, reading creature tokens wiki i get i should insert [POP_RATIO:100] under male caste and [POP_RATIO:50] under female caste entries of creature_standart file?

EDIT/Masterwork has a golden goose as a rare goose caste.

And the absolute numbers not relevant and only the ration is important, right?

I'm running no-immigration fort so i should get lots of kids. But I'll savescum a bit anyway and see if this change did affect the ratio.

POP_RATIO should do what you want, a number of mods use this successfully.  And yeah, as far as I know, only the ratio matters.

Ratio is the only important thing here. So 1 and 2 will function identical to 100 and 200, or 1000 and 2000. The only advantages to large numbers is that sometimes it makes getting certain ratios easier to accomplish.

Weird. I added poprations 100 for males and 50 for females and for now it's:

12 girls and 9 boys born. Yes, not a huge number, but still. (and of the last 11 births 10 were female. Is my RNG broken or something?)

Hm, rechecked the file and seems i missed a ] somehow

   [CASTE:MALE
      [CASTE_NAME:dwarf:dwarves:dwarven]
      [POP_RATIO:100]
      [MALE]
   [CASTE:FEMALE]
      [CASTE_NAME:dwarf:dwarves:dwarven]
      [POP_RATIO:50]
      [FEMALE]

   [CASTE:MALE
      [CASTE_NAME:dwarf:dwarves:dwarven]
      [POP_RATIO:100]

   [CASTE:FEMALE]
      [CASTE_NAME:dwarf:dwarves:dwarven]
      [POP_RATIO:50]
      [FEMALE]

Well, there's your problem, as for ending up with still a bunch of females, it's like flipping a coin, it may be a small chance, but there is still a chance of flipping tails twenty times in a row, just keep at it, or make the ratio slightly smaller.
