How do my fellow Fortress overseers set their population limits? As far as I know there is no Lazy Newb Pack for this version. Do you change it in the raws? If so, how?

The file you're looking for is \\data\init\d_init.txt

In that file find the lines:

Code: [Select]

[POPULATION_CAP:200]
[STRICT_POPULATION_CAP:220]
Population_cap controls the limit when migrants will stop arriving.
Strict_population_cap controlls when you will stop getting births.

Thank you

Births, or pregnancies?

It'd be harrowing to have some losses from a siege result in a dozen sudden births.

Probably pregnancies, but I've never actually seen what happens when you hit the cap when you still have pregnant dwarves.

Population cap only means that when the dwarven liaison leaves, if you have that number or more then there will be no migrants. If you have even one less you'll get all four seasons of migrants. The strict population cap though is a magical cap that affects everything even if there's no liaison, and I think can even limit the first two migrant waves.

I set the cap to 7 and attracted no migrants before my liason. Are you sure it's linked to him?

According to the documentation in the file, the strict population cap stops fort births. It's not clear what happens to pregnancies that occurred before the cap was reached (i.e. whether they'll result in births when the population falls below the cap or not).

No. The single population cap *used* to work like that, but Toady fixed it in v0.40.05 (see his note in bug 2922). In the current version the population cap no longer depends on the liaison, and immediately halts migration once the cap is reached.

[Ancalagon_TB]

if there is *no* pop cap line, you will never get more than 7 dwarves

I had a fort go on for 2-3 years like that.

I think it's actually not a bad idea, lets you get the hang of the game.  I'm limited at 75 dwarves right now, which is pretty decent and doesn't hurt my computer too much.
