Absolutley wonderful tool, chmod, thankyou.
Any chance of adding a method to the script editor that looks at what migrant wave a dwarf came in on? I know sorting by wave can be hit-or-miss, but being able to group by profession AND restrict the view to the latest immigrant wave would make wrangling those lazy retards even easier.

Are there any plans in the future to allow the scripting system to set/un-set labors?

Does that mean I can only have one controllable civ when I gen a world? I was hoping to add a few.

Actually, during my experiments with Kobolds I found you don't have to remove the [CIV_CONTROLLABLE] from dwarves, you just have to make sure you can tell the races' home cities apart when you select where you come from on embarking.
Example: Dwarven home settlements are a lot of capital omegas, my Kobold's home cities were a single round blob.

Walk up to a tree or shrub and press g, then select the option that involves fire. Not sure if it works on corpses.

I've not tried them all yet, Fortress mode keeps pulling me in, but I liked my speardwarf and hammerdwarf when I made them. The spear tended to get lodged in limbs though.

Stand next to anything with flesh. Shift-a to attack, press enter to switch to wrestling mode, select the creature you wish to wrestle and grapple it's head with a HAND. Then, go into the wrestling mode again and below the pinching options, should be gouging ones.
I spend half an hour wondering why I still couldn't gouge eyes when I had a mule's head grappled with my upper and lower arms and both legs.

Walk up to any girl and press k. Greet them and select the 'date' option. There's a chance, based on what you're holding, how well you know them, what you're wearing, what you last ate and how many goblins you've slain, that she might accept. Do not attack her if she says no.

Hope that helps

Throwing in my tuppence and saying I too would really like the fish cleaning job to be automatically queued when there's fish that need gutting and turtles that need turning inside out.

Only the Elves and the Humans siege you for being a git to them at the moment, Moon.
I can see that changing as the Armies Arc progresses though.

I buy caged animals, booze, seeds, sunberries, crap objects made of useful metals ( *(-steel piccolos-)* fer example) and any no-quality ammunition they have. However, I always rip off the first Dwarven caravan, to ensure a low initial immigration and plenty of thieves.

:Edit again:
It is now later. And by "Yes" I mean, changing what rocks/crystals are created when a world is generated requires you to generate a new world.

I found my rock crystals in a layer of Diorite, directly under a layer of Dolomite (baby!) right next to a vein of native gold, and directly across from them, on the other side of the gold was a cluster of rose quartz. A pretty little hole in the ground if ever there was one.
