Haha, nice to have some specific numbers on the subject. Would there be a viable way to check, out of curiosity, the amount of dwarves in my civilization? I remember seeing about 30+ dwarven cities in the world screen when embarking, so it's pretty big. My max civ population is set to 30 000.

I am not a Legends mode user, but perhaps there's an option for that there? If not, you could painstakingly grab it from region1-world_sites_and_pops.txt.
It does unfortunatly only give the total number of dwarves, which isn't really helpful, and the numbers of creatures per site.
The trick is, that the sites do list ownership. So you could find out the name of your civ, and use that as a keyword with ctrl-F search, and sum all dwarves from the sites you find that way.
I think you only get that file if you pressed <p> to export info after world gen though. The numbers found in it are hence the numbers after worldgen, not the exact numbers currently in your fort's world.

The worst undead I fought were yaks and musk ox. But what is broken is how lethal they are even alive, not the fact they are undead. The difficult of the undead is just fine if you think you are fighting someone that feels no pain, do not bleed, do not feel fear or exhaustion and is magically super strong.

1. Go to creature_standard.txt
find [BODY_SIZE:12:0:70000] in the  [CREATURE:HUMAN]
2.change 70000 to 60000
3.60000 is dwarfsize. So dwarf armor will be normal(not small)for you now. Load game and wear adamantine dwarf items.
4.Save game and change size back.
5.Your weared adamantine armor will become human-sized

Are they some sort of thing that might come with a candy weapon in adventure mode then?

Elven King you say?

Use DFHack to make the game recognize him as a member of your civ. Thanks to his glitched state, if you can get the game to recognize him as a member of your civ he'll be the perfect king; no mandates, no demands, no snooty posturing. He'll be almost as happy to meet with emissaries in the booze stockpile as in his throne room (IIRC he'll still have good/bad thoughts from the usual stuff), and will generally wander around and make himself... present. Kind of like a child.

There's also the matter that elves are naturally faster than dwarves by quite a bit. This is why Cacame was so unutterably badass. If you can get your Elfking to don some steel, addy, even iron, he will quickly become one of the most lethal beings in your fortress. Elves use wood weapons for a reason; they'd be overpowered if they didn't. If you're already using DFhack, you can toy with it to add him to your military and give him a uniform. Gold crown optional.

This is all gathered from 40.d, but most of it should hold true in 34.11, though elves may be somewhat less OP. Still, a steel maul wielding elf is fearsome.

E: What is this elf kings name? Can you copy a look at the legends screen for this guy?

The first two migrant waves are hardcoded. You will always get them despite population cap settings.

Are we still sure of that in 40.05? Toady did make some changes to the population cap settings after all.

Now that the population cap has been fixed, does this mean we will still get migrants when the units list gets exceptionally large? In at least 0.34.11, when the units list totalled over 1,000 units (dead or alive, not just citizens) the number of migrants started to drop significantly.

It seems like the game is getting in order more and more! Hopefully it should now be possible to run a succession game with most things fixed.
