Is it possible to request a certain place to become a spawnlocation for a certain language?
In the near future one of my characters will be the leader of a town that used to be polish. But there are no people left there now and we'll (there's someone else there too) will get crowbars to break open the houses and change all signs.

It'd be nice if that place could then become a spawnplace for dutch people.

If this is not possible I understand.

Thanks,
Wiro

All locations with two people (possibly just a single one now, after the spawning algorithm was changed) have a chance to have spawns, proportional to population.
Practically this means certain times your location is the spawnpoint, if someone makes a new character at that time. You may be unlucky and get skipped over almost always or you may be lucky and get one almost every time.

My experience is that locations with only two people get a spawn on average maybe once every six weeks in the english zone. I don't know how the number of new chars per existing city looks for the dutch, so I can't say if you should expect more or less. Probably more, as the english are spread fairly thin.

For the dutch it's basically a few big cities and all other places are left empty. And if someone spawns there they usually go to a big dutch city to be safe.

A lot of spanish and german people tend to lock up and/or kill dutch people for no reason.

But the main problem is, that place used to be polish. So I doubt there will be dutch people spawning there.

I don't understand what the fact that the place used to be polish has anything to do with the not spawning of dutch chars there. If I'm not wrong the spawning of chars of a certain language depends only on that factor ceselb said, so it doesn't matter what the place is, only who's there at the moment.

Oh! Now I understand. So it spawns characters depending on the language of the people who are there. Now I understand.

Ok, thanks for explaining, both of you!

When did that happen?

No, still 2 are needed.

Bump.
Another question.

Are two of the same language group needed or could one english and one dutch character spawn both language groups?

Not as far as I know. Two characters of the same LG are needed.
