Fortress Reclaimation - Pop 231!
« on: November 03, 2007, 09:19:00 pm »

So, I had this Kobold problem, and decided to deal with it by leaving and coming back with the military reclaimation force. I'd carved out a nice, small, cozy fortress, ready to be expanded... And then I realized the size of the force that came to reclaim it!
231 Dwarves, with enough points to take about 30 war dogs and a bunch of other nice thing.

This has to be a bug.

But what a bug!

Forget reclaiming - with that kind of dwarfpower, you can lay siege to the Kobold city and burn it to the ground!

I chose a goblin city as a site, then abandoned it so that the goblins would be gone when I reclaimed it. The population I was given was a force of 56. Strange thing was the dwarves from the previous fortress were still there, only they appeared as @ symbols and wandered around.

Still, seems a little odd that I was given so many people.

Perhaps it's counting the population of hidden features when it's assessing how many squads to give you.
