Best First Migrant Wave Ever?
« on: April 22, 2011, 02:23:36 pm »

Mine was quite recently, and It gave me a few new planters and a butcher. Along with a breeding pair of goats.

What was your best first Wave?

Actually, realistically inbreeding is not harmful to a race until it's gone on for many generations.  The first few generations don't affect the creatures negatively.

I like fortresses because they are still underground.

My best first wave was for my current fort.  I only got 6 dwarves but they were all competant-skills in sword/axe/spear dwarves and they brought cows and female yaks and two ducks.  Jump start of my military AND milk and eggs.  It worked out wonderfully for me.

My best in recent memory was only four guys. A Miner, Brewer, Fisherdwarf and Mason/Engraver. The Fisherdwarf had hammering skills and became my Militia Commander.

Wait... there is such thing as a good migrant wave? if it weren't for ghosts I'd probably kill them all. The ideal migrant wave for me would be a (small) flock of nothing but peasants.

I think my favorite migrant wave had 2 peasants in it, with something like 7 dwarves.

No! No! I will not massacre my children. Instead, I'll make them corpulent on crappy mass-produced quarry bush biscuits and questionably grown mushroom alcohol, and then send them into the military when they turn 12...

- Legendary Cheese Maker
- Legendary Milker
It was a good combo, and two legendaries in one wave? That's pretty lucky, even if they're just crap jobs.

Mind elaborating a bit? It feels kind of dickish to just go and say someone's wrong without explaining, but that's my opinion.
