While I applaud the idea,  I think it would be best that it stay on these forums, so as not to infringe on Toady's domain.

I agree for developing stories, but a place for completed stories to be archived would be a good thing: A lot of old stories have screenshots missing because their hosting has expired. There's already a map archive site and a file storage site... So long as the idea isn't to replace the forum as a place for making/posting stories then I think it's ok.

Still, I think this might get better responses in the Community Games and Stories forum?

True.     My inestimably worthless blessing is now given.

cave-in?

A trick I use is to connect all of the murky pools to the river via channel.  That way they stay at 7/7, and there's never an issue of water flow.

Really? That's good. I have another question then - how do I stop immigration while still allowing my dwarves to have children? Or does the population cap only stop the migrant waves, while the number of children is regulated only by that separate cap?

Population cap only controls immigrants.  Child cap is a separate limit.

Exactly.  you might want to make sure you have breeding couples before killing those first waves of migrants off.

I tend to seal the fort up while the migrants come and let in only those I know I want.  the rest starve to death, and then kobolds get to steal their socks and such, that way I get more thieves.

You'll always get migrants the first year it seems.

After that, the cap sets in.  My forts always get 2 waves of migrants,  and then it's over.

Where can I find all of this?  My modding skills are REALLY below par,  so  can't very well write it on my own.

yeah,  I've been amazed at them as well.

I've found that putting a dog tied at the entrance helps.

When I embark, I immediately wall in all of my stockpiles, and post a dog at the only entrance.  They don't tend to come near the dogs.

I just love all the injuries.  Also, look at her stats.  Apparently being beaten on makes you stronger?
