Finding the proper section for posting my questions is a bit tricky, so I hope this section is fine...
I've recently (meaning on my current map) got some trouble breeding my cave crocodiles and giant cave spiders (yes, the raws are adjusted and it should work just fine).
For a long time I had trouble with dragons as well, but on another world they multiplied quite nicely , so the raws should be working properly.
The wiki names a certain limit concerning a total population cap per species for all animals of about 50...
"There is currently a per-creature-type population cap, observed to be around 50, past which breeding animals will not get pregnant; existing pregnancies will mature to term. Once the population drops below the cap, the creatures will begin breeding again. "
http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/BreedingIn my quest to breed these creatures I would like to remove any sort of limitation the game might throw at me. The wiki doesn't state if it's a map limit or a world limit, and since I play on a large world, a 50 unit limit would be pretty annoying there.
Can this limit be eased or removed alltogether?
Are there other factors not mentioned in the wiki? Another wiki page mentioned, that a nesting animal must not be disturbed during it's breeding period, but that goes against my own observation.
What I want to say is, I have no idea at the moment why I'm not getting the desired results...
My cave crocodile rests on a 50 egg clutch...^^
Ahh... Both male and female are present of course.
