We also have some visitors to deal with:



Course of action?  Should their arrival/disposal be included in the narrative or are we pretending they don't exist?

Personally, I'd say either ignore 'em or regard them as just "sightings" of people moving around the rubble outside.  I'd advise against trying to fit some sort of confrontation into the storyline.  It should get easier when the zeds show up and they can get massacred on our doorstep.


It should also be possible to just set the popcap low in the init.txt so that they don't show up at all.  This is one area we happen to actually have some freedom in.

For now, I'll just keep the migrants in a burrow near the edge of the map.  I've got population capped at seven, but we're gonna get a few initial migrants anyway.  IIRC the game just ignores popcap at first.

Yes, the first two waves are hardcoded. Ignore 'em for now.

First, why is my character's name spelled with a capital "B"? Needs to be fixed. Also, which profession set did you go with?

Well if you remove the [MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE] tag from dwarves I think they have like 2-4 children each time they give birth. And if you get enough mothers up on the pillars you can probably get a good waterfall going.

Well some of us would have capitalized our log-in if we wanted it capitalized, like SethCreiyd.

Kamudo should be capitalized, as it's a proper noun.
