I just genned three forts in a row on a pocket world, and in all three forts, every starting dwarf was friends with every other starting dwarf. I'm assuming this is unintentional.

EDIT: Further testing reveals that the relationships are only constant when using the same embark profile - I swapped it to a different one, and the relationships finally changed.

[Zombie]

I think it bases the embark relationships on world-gen relationships and on dwarf personality.

What may be happening is that saving the embark profile saves the WHOLE profile, including the personalities and following relationships of the dwarves.

[bigmcstrongmuscle]

I don't think its doing that - My first attempt had a "filled with boundless rage" (or whatever) dwarf, and this one (the fifth) definitely doesn't, and still has all-friends relationships. The only thing I can think of that might be doing it is they all had the exact same professions and skills (Had been trying a hermit challenge - dwarf with the fewest friends was gonna be the one), although I hadn't really thought that that came into the equation at all.

EDIT: OCD typo-fix, go go go!

[Skizelo]

In all my games, I can only remember one dwarf who was friends with all six others, so if you've had twenty-one dwarfs in a row, then it sounds bugadelic.

[Yanlin]

How is it a bad thing if everybody is friends with everybody 

[Tormy]

How is it a bad thing if everybody is friends with everybody 

That doesnt sounds right since we are talking about dwarves! 

[bigmcstrongmuscle]

How is it a bad thing if everybody is friends with everybody 

It's bad cause I was starting a hermit challenge.

6 friends dying right at the beginning = really fast suicide.

[Skizelo]

ALSO, a bug is a bug is a bug.

[Toady One]

What was the embark profile?  Did they all have similar skills?  That can influence friendships.

[MMad]

Yep, he mentioned in an earlier post that they all had the exact same skills.

[bigmcstrongmuscle]

Ah, okay. That must have done it. They all had Novice Woodcutter, Novice Carpenter, Novice Axedwarf. This is probably not actually a bug, then.

[eerr]

considering its a pocket world and there can't have been that  many dwarves to begin with
