I'm not in the most comfortable position to type, so this'll be fairly blunt and brusque, sorry mate!

Half a hundred youtubers too, but y'know
There's also a paid guide you can get, which by all accounts is very good (I've not got it) but I learned from a tutorial the guy did for an old version of DF. Here's his old version for 40d (like 4 years old) so it's outdated as hell, but shows how good a writer the guy is.

Any questions can go here or bay12 forums, we're pretty good at answering people too.
[QUOTE=Trekintosh;45316052]So I had 26 dwarves including 10 children. A migrant wave just came in, now I'm at 70 dwarves with [B]35 fucking useless children![/B] What the fuck?! I set the child cap at 10:10! Fucking hell, my day care center will now have iron spears and that's the end of it. I'm fucking sick of these useless shits, and I don't have the resources to constantly deal with them when I'm trying to work on my volcano house.[/QUOTE]
Isn't a 10:10 ratio just a 1:1 ratio? As in one adult/one child?
You probably want something like a 20 adults to 1 child ratio if you wanna keep it really low.
I feel like he meant 10:1

Actually it's population percentage : total max.
[editline]7th July 2014[/editline]
Or maybe the reverse. But either way, 200:100 would be max of 200% total adult dwarves or 100 total, whichever comes first.

Child pop-cap only applies to new births in the fortress, though. It doesn't prevent migrants from bringing in children.
Fucking children. One day Toady will add the option to spay / neuter dwarves, and when he does, that day will be glorious.
It does prevent children from being brought in, but if you have not met or broke the cap, it will bring in however many it feels like it. 39/40? It will happily chuck in 10 kids. 40/40? No kid migrants will come in.
Same as migrant cap - 199/200 then you could get a wave of 30. 200+ then no more migrants.
[QUOTE=Kyle902;45315593]The only time I use ore reveal is to confirm that my map has iron ore. Even then I won't stop playing on the map if it doesnt. If you're map has no ore then you simply have to wait for the goblinite to start rolling in.[/QUOTE]
I trade for anvils,lots of anvils my militia is in copper gear due to danger rooming them up to artifact gear, weapons are all steel made from traded anvils.
The goblins in my world are all terrible bringing nothing but bronze copper or silver weapons.Eh they are a decent food source though ☼Goblin tripe biscuits☼ all around.

Found a spot, Inkrouts.
Heavily forested, the trees cover up the skies and they reach 9 Z-levels off the ground.
Keeps freezing up when I go to play Adventurer mode
I cut down a tree in dwarf mode and a raven that was sitting on top of it fell down with it and was mangled.
It begins
