well thats new....
*adds to list of things to remember NOT to do*

Someone noted once that by walling up Hell shortly after breaching it and then opening it back up, all the demons stopped trying to kill everything and just kind of meandered around. He sent his military in to kill them one by one.

well, thats kinda lame....wheres the fun in that?

So you've found DF.......welcome to the loony bin.   

so if you put the bear in a cage, will he die of thirst or will he tear the cage apart trying to get to the booze?

In my most recent fortress I've made it to 200 dwarves with only 8000 exported wealth because I've been trading almost exclusively in goblin loot (and still clearing out most of the caravans). I'm getting enough sieges that I could carry on like this indefinitely, but it does mean I'll never get the king, etc.

Not that any of those nobles are useful, lol.

im not sure how it works in 31.02, but in 40d, to get the king your fortress wealth and your exported wealth has to get to a ceriain amount before he will be "incoming", then you have to build enough architecture and roads for him and you had to "offer" him a certain value of gifts and then wait for him to get those gifts, then he would arrive.  but again, thats 40d, i dont know how it works in the new version.

You forgot the options "I leave it on because I am to lazy to turn it off"
and "It can be turned off?" I would have voted on the first option

yes, you turn it off by going in the init file and finding the tab [ECONOMY:YES] (default is yes) and change it to [ECONOMY:NO].   

NOTE: turing the economy off works only BEFORE the arrival of your tax collecter and the economy starts. if its already started in a fortress, your stuck with it.

But nah, i really think Toady's not going to do much, if anything with it until the Caravan Arc.

while that kinda makes me sad for no improvements on the economy, its definitely worth ignoring if it gets the army arc done faster, so im cool with that.
