So your fort has had 618 dwarves in its history ? I presume that many of those are dead ? Whats your current population.
And im assuming again but are you playing this fort at the moment ?
Well, I mentioned in the OP, there are currently 114 dwarves alive and kicking in my fort. And yes, I also have a giant ziggurat filled to the brim with coffins. The number 618 encompasses the amount of dwarves I have plucked out of the relationship screen of all the dwarves that I have already processed for this project. As I said in one of the later posts, there are strange names coming up that seem to be of the goblin variety, I assume this has something to do with stolen babies. Those names are part of that 618 as well.
So that doesn't mean those 618 have all been in my fort at some point. You could say they are all related to a dwarf that has been in my fort at some point (minus the 2 theoretical parents). When you look at the tree, all the dwarves without a birth date have never been part of my fort. The others are or have been (it notes which ones are deceased). For reference, my deceased/missing list is around 1100 units in total, but ofcourse, that list contains a lot of goblin meat.
The fort itself is paused until this project is finished, since I'd have to keep track of all newborns and new immigrants otherwise. When it's finished, I will continue play.
