Largest Migrant Wave
« on: July 28, 2010, 12:15:38 am »

Just out of curiosity, what is the largest number of migrants you have received at once?

For me, I received 30 migrants in the first wave.

Minecraft UI is very simple. There's only so many ways you can implement "simple" without copying something. We also gonna complain that it uses WASD?

If I could get around 3-4 per wave max, I'd be happy.

I'd be happy if the ones with adopted animals didn't show up. Nothing's worse than immigrants bringing in pregnant cows and horses which jam up the hallways with their droppings... er, offspring, rather.

Largest wave was in Bustnut after losing something like 2\3 of the population of a 120+ dwarf fortress to HFS. I didn't count accurately as some more people finished dying in the process of getting immigrants, but it was probably in the 30-60 range.

I've only had one migrant wave of less than 20 dwarves.

Often I've gotten 25+ dwarves several times in a row.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.
It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

Yeah, I often get huge migrant waves, often because I tend to put all my spare dwarves into creating trade goods or absurdly valuable prepared meals with huge value just because I can.  I think the most I ever got was 42 at once, which my third year's spring back in 40d.
