Migrants before first Caravan?
« on: March 03, 2008, 07:57:00 pm »
Not sure if this is a bug so I'll ask here.

It is currently Mid-Summer of year 0 of my fort, and I got two immigrants.

Huh? I've been playing for a while and I always expected immigrants in the winter or later.

I've had quite large migrant groups before the first caravan, if you build up a lot of wealth quickly you get them early.

Must be the 5 tile wide road I had to smooth out topside of my fortress to make my trade depot assecisble. And the three gold veins I just found.

Technically, you only need 3 tiles wide.

I've gotten as many as 20 before the first caravan. I've also gotten three waves in the first year. One in summer, autumn and winter. I think it's just a wealth thing since the fortresses where I don't get a good start on producing wealth are the ones that only get the later immigrations.
