Sorry, don't know why in the post above the population number came out all funny. That sentence should have read:

In the 'c' map screen, when I hovered the site, it said that the population was 75.

Pets, even semi-intelligent ones like trolls and ogres aren't counted as part of the population.

oh ok, but maybe when you hover over a site it can give more of a total breakdown of all the occupants. My point was that I wasn't expecting to encounter 2500 beings when pillaging that site because I thought there were going to be about 75. As far as I can tell there is no other way to know who lives there other than retiring the fort and going into legends mode. Maybe we could have a spy mission type as well to reconnoitre a site before attacking perhaps?

Interrogating prisoners for info and sending spies is part of this update cycle, yes. Probably better off posting specific suggestions for these features on the Suggestions board though.

@sionlife: The tracker uses '~' as a special character to auto-link to a note (in your case, note 75). Adding a space prevents this behavior.

Yeah. Something's wrong with this. I just "raided" a goblin fortress with 10 goblins... and 1462 trolls unaccounted in the census. Raiding just stopped being a fun way to lose.
