Steelclad raptors are a separate creature. I believe there is an arena name token or something like that. If they don't have that maybe they don't show up in the arena?

It is possible to get migrants even if your population exceeds the cap, but based on the Mantis discussion in relation to this "bug" it looks like there's a difference in how the setting is expected to work and how it actually works. [clip/liaison] ... even if you're down one below the cap when he last left, you could get as many as three or four waves (the sizes of which are dependent only on wealth, not the pop cap setting) until the next time a liaison/caravan comes by and returns to the mountainhome to report on the fort.

50; counting only ADULT dwarves?  Because children aren’t counted in the cap.  (Why only 50 dwarves?  Never mind, doesn’t matter.)  One work-around is, Save, Exit, re-start with a pop cap below the existing number of adults.  Has worked for me so far, I keep a cap at 150 or so just for FPS, moving up step-wise from 60 each time the fortress stabilizes.

You will get 7 starting dwarves (or however many you like), +2 migrant waves, +children, +n migrant waves till your pop-cap is filled. But yes, if you have 57 dwarves, pop-cap 60, a full migrant wave will appear.

Jimboo, I simply couldnt find the time to make a steel and ironclad version of each creature. They are seperate creatures in the file creature_pet_armored.txt and you can find them in the arena just like any other creature.

No real reason for 50 just easing myself in not played for awhile so getting to grips, harder farming nearly caught me out with only 40 of the little buggers thank god for trade!

Found a tear of armok i presume I need to build the liquid spawner in a hole to create a nice little pool of water upon deconstruct?

[Meph]

Correct. It would be easier though to build a track to the alchemist, fill tanker-carts with water, and assign them an automatic route to the nearest pit, so that they get dumped as soon as they are full. Thats way more efficient.

I always set my cap at 80 so I still get seiges, otherwise I find every fort turns into a 40 FPS lagfest with 60+ idlers.

That indeed does sound more efficient plus playing the scorching embark so water needed especially as a fire elemental just burnt all my poor mountain goats, some mastiffs and a couple dwarfs!

If you can find the time, I would really, really like to have a steelclad giant drowspider. Those buggers are amazingly good pets for ranged units, both in military and just hunting.

Hi everyone   just a quick one is the pop cap still bugged ?

This has nothing to do with Masterwork and there's nothing Meph can do about it.

Known Bugs Section of the Manual, see "Burrows". Thats my best guess.

can orks use mithril?

can orks use mithril?

While I usually dont mind much... Could you please tell me the title of this thread? And why you opened a seperate thread, with exactly the same question, instead of posting in the "ORC - Gameplay Questions" thread?

Sorted thanks!

I will now be off to re read all the manual lol
