Well, all dwarven forts do specialize in exporting free Vengeance to their enemies. This particular fort happens to import no Terror anymore.

double ambushes on my 'new' fort (100+ pop). only 1 guy died and i enlisted him into the military just to be a meat shield. i learned i don't have enough traps.

--- Quote from: Toady One - Dev Log ---After fixing a broken sewer flow, I went back and looked at historical migrants some more. Up until now, it had just been sending in some fixed percentage of the families using historical families when possible. Now it looks at the overall number of historical figures and their professions and will try to get you a good historical family whenever it can. I created a small world with a 150 year history, and there were 2300 and 1700 eligible historical figures in the two dwarf civs, so it had no trouble finding me enough migrants with appropriate professions. One of the nice things about that is that the relationship pages start out with plenty of family members scattered around the world (6 pages for one of the dwarves!), and sometimes their family members will come to live at your fort later on. In my first test, a historical woodworker and her husband moved to the fort, and the next season, her thresher brother and his wife arrived. Another dwarf couple came with their four historical children, though that seems to be pretty rare overall. You might get more child immigrants in the youngest worlds before the population starts to level out. It lists nieces and nephews on the relationship page now.

I like this bit right here. Something about the thought of having some dwarf coming to my fortress, then a year later his wife/brother/sister/mom coming as well gives me nice thoughts. Wonder if we're ever going to get "Drunks" and "Military Tacticians" as migrants ever again...
