The basic dwarven caste is simply called "Dwarf" and is the base against which other castes are compared, Male and Female dwarves are treated as different castes, even though there are no differences between them. Migrants and embark dwarves may have a special caste, and other dwarves can transform through various methods in game.
Starting Dwarves and Migrants have about a: - 64%(50000/77000) chance to belong to the 'Basic' caste (i.e. have no Caste) - 32%(25000/77000) change to belong to one of the normal castes, the chance to belong to each of the castes, be it a guild, the priest caste or a military caste is equal, even though the description of some of the castes suggests otherwise. - 1,7% change to be a Mage. - the chance to be Male or Female is equal.
