In my legends, it says that under "Alive" I only have 17299, with:

Human: 6010
Dwarf: 4201
Elf: 3613
Goblin: 1572

But then I scroll down to Site Populations, and I see this:

Goblins: 72889
Humans: 60599
Elves: 53604

So... which one is accurate? What is site populations? I can't actually have THAT many things running around in my world, can I? Wouldn't that make it unbearably laggy?

Historical figures vs padding npcs so sites aren't empty.

I don't play much adv. mode. You CAN go and find all 70k goblins if you felt like walking to every goblin site, right

Ah, okay, thank you. I was wondering because I've got about 1200 total goblin kills and it seems to have severely dented their population yet it said they still had tens of thousands. Too bad I can't seem to actually FIND those tens of thousands. They'd be a nice addition to the kill counter

1200!

It's pretty easy to kill large amounts of goblins. You just climb.up a tower and start slicing at heads. They don't even try to resist most of the time. Probably because they're just civilians and i don't think I've ever even seen a goblin soldier in adventurer mode.

If you ever see goblin soldier,kill him because he will quickly turn hostile (i was once killed by goblin swordsmaster in ghost village)

Lol, dude, I just got done slaughtering a town of 1000+ humans, earlier I destroyed a dwarf fortress of roughly 400 dwarves. I have 4280 notable kills, 2793 other kills.

There's an ongoing bug in df2014 (and judging from the bug tracker seems to have been there from years ago) that can respawn things you killed in adventure mode. I have observed it happening a lot with goblins and trolls in gob sites, but people have been noticed it with with nearly every kind of npc.

I see lots of gob soldiers, and yeah, the passive non-historical respawning npcs are annoying.

i encountered goblin macemen, crossbowmen, etc in the dark fortress
they're there. I also recall running into armed goblin bandits who were harassing villages or had taken them over.

On the subject of spawning npcs, i wonder if these are the npc's with no family to speak of? will npc's with family members usually be historical figures?

edit: also I spawned a dwarven fortess that had humans and goblins as well as dwarves as residents. Some goblin soldiers were in the fortress guard.

So, under this premise, it is still not possible to reach the Age of Twilight through sheer force and willpower, right?
I really thought that the respawning bug was gone... It's been a while since I last checked Mantis.

 It is possible you just have to leave the sites come back, kill more, an  repeat until you have killed off the abstract(nonhistorical figure) populations.

This is not entirely true, the "respawning"  npcs are just the abstract populations.the historical figure populations obviously don't respawn. And you can kill them off if you are able to and have the patience to slog through the innumerable amount of kills you would need to cut up their sites population.( the max per site I've seen is 5 to 6 thousand. (In dark fortresses)

The actual respawning bug (which was actually a bug, was fixed dome time after version 40.16) according to the bug tracker.which was actually respawning npcs.

Geez, you people sure know how to genocide. I have trouble reaching 100+ kills before getting killed usually.
