D&D
Nah. D&D depends on a hitpoint system, which, while convenient and extremely useful, is completely unrealistic.

Is the problem that you're running out of titans?

I could probably make more efficient use of my  dorfs if I picked up therapist, but I find this game runs perfectly fine without maximizing efficiency.

I use dfhack mostly for stonesense, because I like being able to visualize the things I build in 3D.

I wouldn't mind if you had the OPTION of seeing a longer list
I like that. For fear of creating more details, you could even have all of the stats like this: A header that, with the push of a button, could be opened up to reveal the details. It'd be more button-pushing, but would also make the screen easier on the eyes.

I would guess that the goblins somehow became members of the dwarven civilization.

That's grand. I'm trying to imagine a role playing justification for it...

If you get enough dwarves and wealth somehow, then you'll get sieges regardless of what he population cap is set at.  That said, I'm pretty sure there's an init option for turning sieges off too if you're concerned about that.  I've never actually turned it off though, so I'm not positive if it works in the current version.
I was more worried about accidentally turning sieges off, or seeing how close I could get to the line. Thanks!

Though I do wonder what happens if you do this after the fort has exceeded the new cap. Does it just let the surplus die off naturally or do the last additions become sudden strangers?

Far as I can recall, it just stops sending migrants after it realizes its over the population cap. You can and will potentially get a nudge over that limit.

Additionally, far as I know the "strict" population cap only adds births to the values considered, and stops any further conception in the same way that the baby/child cap would. It mostly seems to exist to the instance where being at your population cap without disabling babies/children entirely leads to a steady increase in population anyway.
So in that case, it's probably safer to keep the pop cap artificially low with the understanding that it will rise slowly due to reproduction.

If I set the cap to less than the min for sieges or whatnot, would natural reproduction by itself cause sieges and whatnot to begin to occur? Or would the hard number indicate to the game that they should never happen?

That works just fine.  You'll need to restart DF after making changes to the file, but it won't hurt running saves at all.
Great, thanks.

This feels like a really dumb question, but I don't know if I could find one on the wiki...

If I modify the d_init file in mid-game (Fortress mode) will that create problems?

Specifically, I want to lower the max population and max visitors. It's an early fort, so we're nowhere near capacity, but I'd rather not watch 300 units slough through a molasses sludge.

I imagine it shouldn't be a problem, but being fairly ignorant about such things, I felt I should ask...

Sent a  military squad after a citizen who'd turned lycanthrope. The ensuing loyalty cascade killed half the fort, including many children.

I'd tried to trade away junk statues once, and ended up painstakingly scrolling through the "All Items" category. Might be similar.

If so, maybe stockpile them very close to the trade depot?
