No migrants
« on: April 21, 2015, 02:59:43 pm »

I usually consider Migrants useless, because they came in waves of 30+, but this time I have only 13 adult dwarves, and I keep getting the message "The fortress attracted no migrants this season".
But, since I am not the mountainhome, I should receive migrants, right?

I've heard Minecart Airlines Express offers nice trips to nobility. Alternative trips include a voyage over the volcano. Call 1-800-I-THE-GUINEAPIG-VOLUNTEER and book now!

If the Dwarven civilization is still alive, if you are within logistical distance of it (with the path free of impassible terrain), if you haven't had a recent bloodbath that would deter immigrants, and if you are not already above your population cap... then yes, you should get immigrants.

Is there a script to force migrants?
