Max Dwarves
« on: September 30, 2010, 03:00:41 am »
I want to know how to change the limit of maximum dwarves allowed in my fortress. I know the default is 200, I have 110 and my FPS is terrible (~25).

I want to limit the number to maybe 120 or so. Can I do this mid game or does it require a new world?

This is a feature, not a bug, correct?
You're playing Dwarf Fortress.  There isn't much of a distinction.

You can change the population cap in your d_init file.

No, you don't need to re-gen.

25 FPS is pretty good for 100+ dwarves.

I'm limiting my dwarfs to 80, much easier to control.

Give cats natural metallic armor and throw them in your danger room.  Also allow their mouth and tail to grasp (shield in mouth, weapon in tail xD)  Have a cat based military.  You know, do the same with all tame animals xD send in the cats as shock troops to disrupt the archers
