I have a fort near elves, goblins, and humans. In five years, the vast majority of tavern visitors have been humans. I've had a few dwarves, 1 goblin, and no elves. Are there other factors that determine frequency of visits by the various races, like fortress wealth, or is it all proximity to settlements? I'd like to get an elf or 2 to join my mostly human army. I know it sounds like sacrilege, but elves spilling blood in defense of a dwarf fortress sounds just fine to me.

Oh, and has anyone gotten kobold visitors?

My visitors have been entirely dwarven, save for two elf poets. I don't remember exactly where on the map I embarked, but I would imagine proximity to civilizations would have something to do with it.

Are you sure that the 'elven' outposts are actually populated by elves? IT's possible that they either have vvery low populations, and so there are few people traveling out from them, or that they are actually populated mostly by immigrant humans, in which case the human visitors might well be coming from the elf sites.
