I understand what these tokens essentially accomplish, but I don't know exactly what they do or how and why they do it.  DEFAULT_SITE makes them start/build certain living spaces (e.g. dark fortresses, towns, mountain fortresses), and LIKES_SITE appears to cause these civilizations to want to move into them over all other types.  For example, setting goblins' LIKES_SITE and TOLERATES_SITE to CITY makes them move out of their dark fortresses and into human towns, sparking untold bloodletting.

What does TOLERATES_SITE do, specifically, versus LIKES_SITE? Dwarves, for example, have the following:

code:

[DEFAULT_SITE_TYPE:CAVE_DETAILED]
[LIKES_SITE:CAVE_DETAILED]
[TOLERATES_SITE:CITY]
[TOLERATES_SITE:TREE_CITY]
[TOLERATES_SITE:CAVE_DETAILED]

This means they build mountain fortresses to begin with, and the vast majority of them live in these fortresses.  You'll occasionally see humans and dwarves living together, but it's fairly rare, and would likely be a result of TOLERATES_SITE.  What is the % chance they'll try to move into a listed TOLERATES_SITE location?  Does it happen en masse for an entire particular civilization, is it per-city, is it per-dwarf?

[TOLERATES_SITE] means that they'll send migrants to those types of sites. I don't know the chances of that happening.

Ahh, thanks.  And yes, I did check the Wiki before asking, but its use of terms like "or whatever" in the entity tokens section led me to believe the person that added them wasn't sure.   :p

How about LIKES_SITE? The Wiki says it's for "colonizing," but isn't that what a migrant wave does?

Likes_site is what site they live in. If they start in CAVE_DETAILED and like TREE_CITY, they will all migrate to TREE_CITY. See "WAR!! This is WAR!!".

Oh my god, I have to make goblins want to move into human towns...

They have such nice things!
