I was waiting for ages for my immigrants to turn up - turn up they did - and in numbers! On midsummer of 1052 I got 19 migrants at once :D
-
I got 24. One-up'd.
-
3 were still behind the edge - so 22 total. How come I got so many migrants? My created wealth is only 23K and imported around 60K. hmm..
-
Woodworker turned up with battle-axe, but since he hadn't woodcutting enabled, he dropped it near the edge. Stupid, stupid long trip back and forth...
-
I went from 7 to 38 in one wave once.
It hurt.
-
I got 28 once. Beat you all.
Edit: Not really! I thought the dude above me only got 21, not 31.[ January 27, 2008: Message edited by: penguinofhonor ]

My latest Fortress is up to 72 from 7 (+65) in 3 waves, but the last wave was only like 10 guys, meaning 2 waves gave +55, meaning in those first two waves I was averaging ~23 per wave. It was absurd the second time.
-
Most ever for me was 42 + 13 in one year. That was back when we had no Z levels.
Luckily a titan showed up not long after and the population, ahem, restabilized.
-
I went from 7 to 50 with one migration. I don't really recommend giving the dwarven merchants the rest of your junk just because they don't have anything interesting left for you to buy.
I don't think that fort lasted very long...
-
my current fortress.. i went from 6 to 30 in summer of the first year.. x.X
then spring i went to 50.... then was at 76 with two more waves by fall.. then next spring pushed me to 106.. and my FPS was at 10... not fun.
-
Eek.
And that, friends, is why you should never give the gift of food to dwarven merchants. They tell their friends.
-
As a side note, in shipwrecked* I did zero trade, zero gifting, zero seizing. I still got 20+ immigrants, albeit a bit late. I wonder if its tied to anything at all, or just random.
Possibilities:
Location
Food
Booze
Trade
Wealth
Abscence of casulties/injuries (we know it stops if you become a death trap)
Mood
Random number seed
Any other brainstorms for thngs it could be linked to? Needn't be likely, just possible.
*which I'll get around to one of these days once I get over my Harvest Moon addiction.
-
well its possible to get immigrants, sometimes quite a few, in the first summer before the first caravan ever arrives, so it doesnt seem to be based on what you give the traders(since you cant have given them anything yet)

Its based on total created wealth. Mine a lot? You will get quite a few immigrants. Create stuff of value? Ditto. Have one of your dwarves get a mood and create an item worth several million? Prepare to be flooded.
-
My first year's immigration wave was 23 dwarves, and the second year's was only 19. Just as well, as my fps isn't exactly increasing.
-
oh yeah? Well I went from 7 to 513 in one immigration wave! Nyuh!
-
52->83
I'm in my 4th year with 7 artifacts O.o

I can pwn you all. I got the KING as my first immigrant once. He was totally in disguise.
