No migration
« on: May 30, 2008, 07:16:00 am »
Last version, pocket world, no change to cap - 2 migrants first year, then no migrants for 4 years.

Started medium world, 1 migrant first year, then no migrants for 2 years.

What is going on ?

It's a pocket world, there's a guaranteed small population of Dwarves, meaning very little immigrants to your fort.

I'm starting to worry I'm running into this problem.  I have a world that's one below standard (Small?) and I haven't had a migrant population in over a year.  Perhaps I need to wait longer, but I was getting one, maybe two a year beforehand.  

Did I just deplete the entire worlds population of Dwarves?

Edit for clarification: This fort has been running for 11-12 years now, and I've got an accumulated wealth nearing 2 million.

I highly doubt that you're consistently running the world out of dwarves, especially if this is happening right from the start of your fortress. I typically play on Smaller maps and have never had such immigration problems. I think it's something else.

How much wealth are you generating?
