Woodcutters are only valuable at low coal levels. At coal level 1 an extra miner is consistently more valuable than a woodsman
Brewers seem to be actively harmful to fort value.
There is a big fall in fort value when no warriors are present.
The previously observed drop off in the value of additional miners after 5 seem to occur because it makes it less likely for other valuable types to be present, not because it is intrinsically bad. 6 miners and 2 smiths/crafters seems to be much better than 5 miners and 3 smiths/crafters.
My final selection for the fort of Magh Loduhr is therefore:
“The previously observed drop off in the value of additional miners after 5 seem to occur because it makes it less likely for other valuable types to be present, not because it is intrinsically bad.”
My go-to check when there’s decent data is to compare P(something | N miners, M dwarves) to P(something | N-1 miners, M-1 dwarves).
