Just want to point out that all of the words used here are actually slang. The skin between the scrotum or bottom of the labia and the anus is actually part of the perineum and the distance between the two is called the anogenital distance. The more you know!

1. What version are you playing?
2. Can you give orders such as move, kill, etc?
3. Do you have enough equipment for all 10 of them to wear a full uniform? Try setting no uniform.
4. I am not sure how the squad interacts with/without certain members. For instance if the squad leader is not around will anyone setup demonstrations/organize sparring exercises? You could try setting the squad captain to always train and see if that helps.

The game will pick a random skill and have him make an artifact using that skill at which point he will become a Legendary+1 in that skill. If you have a variety of materials available you should be fine. However if you are missing one of the material types they want then eventually they will lose the mood and become depressed until they eventually die.

Also congratulations on your first mood!

I genned my first world and let the site finder go to work. I chose yes for shallow metal and multiple deep metals with flux. Found a very very large magnetite layer right at the surface and tons of dolomite for flux. Just on that 1 z-level I have found 300+ magnetite and I have only begun delving underneath it. So I would say that the new system is just more hit and miss then the old. If you do find a site with shallow metal, and flux, and the metal is the right kind, you are generally set for a while. That is just more "ifs" then in the previous version where you were guaranteed all those things just by the sheer amount of ore present in every embark site. I suggest if the site finder cannot find you a site that is suitable to some of the more esoteric players, haunted, savage, desert, glacier, etc, with a good shallow metal, then just go back a version. Really all you are missing is bees, and the massive storage of pots.

I posted this in another thread but I want to spread the information around. I am almost 100% sure that there is a bug with large pots. Specifically, you must make sure to have 1 bar of ash and 1 bar of charcoal available. For whatever reason you can go ahead and glaze a pot, I think it has to do with not using a whole bar of ash, but the pot will not be used. Ever. At all. Make sure that you have 1 whole bar of ash, and 1 whole bar of charcoal. Doing this my pots are working 100% of the time.

Hello all. I have been working on a little military tutorial to try and help out new players get a hang of what the heck is going on with the menus in there. So if you check my user profile on the wiki you will see my little attempt at a tutorial. Please check it out, leave comments and criticisms. The number of people who think the military is still broken beyond use is high, even though it actually works pretty well at this point.

I will also take any help someone wants to offer. Just leave a comment on my talk page. Thanks.

Hm this has me worried. I am an abuser of that particular training methodology. Was nothing in the changelog about altering how spears behave in upright spear traps. Perhaps you didn't use just training spears?
