Question: How do I (drastically) increase the number of dwarves and migrants?
« on: August 12, 2012, 01:15:11 am »
I'm using masterwork mod, and vanilla 34.11 LNP

I want to edit migrant waves to give me either:
A. More Migrants per waves
B. More frequent Migrant Waves
C. Migrant waves regardless of whether the civilization survives.

If I can't do C. What steps can I take to increase the survivability  of the civilization?

I want more dwarves to perform ritual sacrifices... Amrok demands it.

Never ever cease communication with your enemies, never ever cease interaction with them, never isolate yourself from them. Never ignore them, relish the time to deal with them, to exercise banter. The biggest mistake one can make is ignoring one's enemies. Go out of your way to pick a fight today.

A. Increase fortress value. You can make a mod to turn boulders into gold bars or something.
B. Not possible.
Ci. Not possible.
Cii. Give them NEAT and remove it once you begin play.
EDIT: That should be NOEAT, hilarious typos, no? Praise Amrok.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

If you remove their [BABY:X] token and change them to have [CHILD:1] then any born dwarves will grow up in a single year at which point they can start having more children, allowing for massive amounts of dwarves.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.

As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

Probably attempting to use them as building materials.

Or as ammunition for a custom seige weapon.

If you have DFhack, try making a few rock statues right away and changing them to candy statues by placing your "k" cursor over the statue and typing
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
in DFhack. Watch for thieves and ambushes!
Also, is it possible to mod body parts to be useable as siege ammo?

No, though you could make a reaction that turned body parts into a pseudo-balistae arrow.

Failing that you can just fling minecarts with dorfs in them at people.

It may not kill anything, but damn if it won't look dwarvenly. Bonus points if they're on fire.

*dramatic music plays as seven flaming carts with flaming dwarves are flung at the enemy elf siege*
The flaming minecart strikes the elf in the head, brusing the brain!
The elf has been struck down.
