If I set the titan number to max, and population/wealth requirement to 0, I'll be sieged by tons of beasts early right? Or does 0 mean "do not arrive ever". Just checking before I get my latest fort idea going.

It means that Titans can attack you from the moment you embark. No guarantees though.

Well you're going to start with both a population and wealth greater than 0 so why not just set it to 1 just to be sure?

Minimum is 0, aka NA. Setting 1 is a good idea though. Besides, if you have negative Dwarves, or negative wealth, something is wrong in your fort. Take the famous magic missile barrels for example.

You might have so many dwarves and so much wealth that the value wrapped ... :D

negative often means disabled in things like this, but i didnt check if it was an option and how it related.

-1 max civ pop = unlimited
