over the course of these two years I have received 7 migrants
my population doubled!

[Bentusi16]

For all my fortresses in the new version, immigrants seem to come in waves of 7-10, and they come earlier. I actually got an immigrate wave before I had even set up my first farm!

Interestingly, I had this same thing in .28 with my custom-made civilizations. I would get immigrants earlier then I would expect and usually big waves of them.

If I remember, Toady made it so that immigrant groups actually have to travel the world map to get to you, or something. The closer you are to a dwarven civ, the sooner and more immigrants you get. Or I might have dreamed this. I don't remember.

Ive had the exact opposite problem. I have had 10-20 dwarf migrations twice or three times a year.
I have 82 dwarves, and Im only finally getting proper workshop space set up inside my fortress. Thats not counting the 30-40 deaths ive had that do NOTHING to stem the tide of immigration.

The only problem I'd have with that is the need to build graves for those dwarves.

...Then again, I could try that above-ground graveyard...

magma. Saves on burial costs.

Yeah but graveyards and catacombs are awesome if you make them fancy enough.

I'm getting MORE immigrants. 4 years in I have 90 dwarves. I have 48 bedrooms.

2 years in and I still have 12 (2 died, that's probably the problem I'm facing)
the obnoxious thing is, though, the two died ignoring the wells and dehydrating themselves

[gopa4]

I don't think that it is a wealth thing, I have almost 140k worth of wealth. (started on a human town for there military since I can't get my military up and running) I just recieved a third wave, total 13 dwarves. Interesting note, 2 out of the 3 waves the two people were married couples.

[Boingboingsplat]

I got barely any immigrants in my waves, but they arrive much earlier than usually. Before my fall dwarven caravan even.

I got 4 or 5 Dwarves my first summer, I was intrigued.

Are you on a map with salt water?

[ISGC]

Are you on a map with salt water?

no, I even have a well and everything
no otherwise designated drinking spots
1 just up and died in his workshop and the other while mining

[lanceleoghauni]

At the Moment they will not stop working to eat or drink. you need to do everything by steps to ensure they don't die.

[userpay]

My understanding is they will stop to go eat/drink/ect but not untill they reach critical levels requiring supplies to be nearby.

[lanceleoghauni]

hmm, really? I got so worried about it that I just stopped mass designating.

[gopa4]

I haven't had any one die from not eating or drinking yet, they always just finish up one last thing then head off to eat/drink whenever they get really hungry or thirsty.
