As to "why" is there so many kids - what is the year your in your current world? I've just recently experienced massive number of children migrants in my 55-year world.

38 I think, but I always do before 50 and it has never been this bad.

I have a vampire problem and thought it was my mayor, so I locked him in his room and he died of thirst.

I'm guessing he wasn't it, any tips would be great, thanks!

I started a new map and are severely lacking in dwarfs and the last two migrant waves have been six kids and one adult. More then half of my fortress is bloody kids! Is there a reason for this, I kinda want to start a new map now.

Also in lazy newb launcher, What should I put in the kid section so a quarter at most are children?

Edit: Also no animals each wave, is my home faction just really poor?
New that cave in at the start was a bad omen.
 

One second into this new map and bam!, a part of the tunnel caved in. Has this ever happened to someone before, because it never happened to me. The surface is fine and it happened like 50 levels deep. I gonna take this as a bad omen for this map, but planning and worrying are for elves, lets start digging. 

Uhhhhh, you guys are going way into this, it is dwarf fortress. Stranger things have happened.

I have experienced most of dwarf fortress at least once, except for lairs of something. I even have a bad habit of making new worlds when I'm bored so all the more opportunity. Are they just really rare or am I unlucky. Do they show up on map stream, like when it says there is a river or town in that square?

I think something else living on the map would be cool, a little competition, at least int he start.

Ok, thanks.

I try to set thing up nice, like if I were in the fortress as a dwarf would I want to live there
