Yet another migrant post
« on: May 17, 2012, 11:59:41 pm »

FYI:  So I've been playing several nights now with my pop cap set to zero.  The liaison has been by twice now while pop cap is zero and every single season I receive another group of migrants.   This current one is my seventh wave since setting the cap to zero. 

The only thing I can think of that would be different from a "normal game" is that my population this whole time has been 2.  Perhaps migrant waves are mandatory below a certain population?

Setting any paramater to 0 makes the game ignore it. Try 1.

Okay, I'll try that.  Setting it to 1, saving and restarting.

Done.  It's mid-autumn right now, so the liaison should be along any minute now.

I set it from 200 (default) to 100, with babies and children to 0:0.

I never have babies, and, while I did go over 100 (I now have 112 dwarves left, from the max of 136) it was only because the final migrant wave came before I had 100, so I am assuming that it's not really a hard limit; but once it's reached it will not send more waves.

I'm going to try and drop my population to 99 and see what happens. If I am right, I should get a wave; and it could possibly have more than just 1 guy.
