Ghostbutchers!

Generally I buy all available logs, metal bars and most barrels and drinks. Also often, especially later in the game, I buy all the steel and iron armor, weapons and anvils to be smelted and reforged by own armor-/weaponsmiths.

Really, it's just another source for raw materials (and drinks). Sometimes I have my military use bought armor and weapons, but the goal is to make those in good quality myself.

So wait, this still works? I used to be able to do this in older versions, but more recently nothing happens.

*Empirical experimentation*

Okay, they removed at least a few pieces of armor; caps and shields. I don't know if they still have their weapons and other stuff.

Speaking of which, do dwarves ever convict someone themselves? Or is it ONLY convicted if you personally convict them?

I also want to know the answer to this.

Also, perhaps this is an unintended way of detecting vampires. I have two dwarves I suspect are vampires, one of them seems almost certain. I noticed their description has a huuuge list of "He is a former member of (...)", like 20 lines of that. It says they're only 80-90 years old. I have a presumably non-vampire dwarf, who is 141 years old, yet he has no similar long list of former associations. So the question is: Are the vampires lying about their ages, but the history (unintentionally) gives away their much, much longer true age?

I had a fort recently get an initial migrant wave the first summer of just two dwarves, a married couple. And an animal of some sort. Don't remember what.

Pretty much the same thing happened to me. Except I don't know if the two were married and there were two or three animals.

I liked the lego analogy from a few pages back. I'd just add that your lego people are basically deaf and blind, so you can't tell them what to do directly; instead you must often trick them into doing what you want. And they're also immensely stupid.

Plus magma.

Do you possibly have them as "Available" (to be pets)? I don't know if this could have any effect on it, but just throwing it out there
