I'm not liking the new migrant system much. I'm a little jealous of those of you who claim to only have a few migrants in the first wave. I've started 3 fortresses so far and each one of them has had 15+ migrants in the FIRST wave. One of them had 30. THis is insane. Especially when you keep getting that many every single season until you hit your population cap. I've come to dread the caravans because shortly after I know I'm going to get a huge explosion of dwarves.. Most of them with useless skills (do I really need 6 fish dissectors in one wave on a map with no fish?) And even the ones who ARE useful, like those armor smiths, are found in abundance and it quickly leads to a huge population of 'potentially useful' haulers.

For my latest fortress I have the population cap set at 75. I hit it (and went over) in the first year. It's just too many damn dwarves.

Are you embarking on mountain sites, supposedly (Unless it got fixed in 31.2) your wealth takes into account any cavern systems.

(not sure if they're exposed or not when it happens, I have a hard time with clerks since they work till they're thirsty, hungry, drowsy and not in a good mood)

Yeah, I've found Medical to be swingy. I've gotten very, very few medicals ever, but one wave I got a surgeon, bone doctor, and suture...er...dwarf, on top of my starting doctor.

They left my best axedwarf to die of thirst with two broken legs twenty steps from the well furnished hospital...

On both fortresses I've done so far, I've gotten a Suturer, a Bone Doctor, and a Diagnostician in the first four waves.

I had 2 comedian bonedoctors in the same wave!

I don't tend to embark on mountains. For the latest fortress, the map was completely flat save for 1 tile that was a z-level higher. Still hit my pop cap within the first year.
