Good find bumber, at least one person has tried. Unfortunately they either removed it already, or they posted it to a site that expires the audio after a while.

Oh, I'm personally no musician, but I know there are LOTS of really good musician who also DF, so I hope at least a few do go through and "translate" the options into a musical performance. Honestly, I'd love to see a full orchestral performance of one of the generated songs, like you occasionally see from the Final Fantasy games.

Necro-bump? Sorry, but this is actually exactly the same as my question, but better formatted. Using LNP 40_24 r13 and I can't seem to get the "Process to bags" aspect to work with workflow to net me quarry bush leaves and rock nuts. Any specific settings I can plug in to get it going?

My military strategy is probably not the best, but I tend (in non-dead raising biomes) to embark with a single hunter, set them immediately to hunting, and just let them archer up. I then tend to recycle anydwarf that has the "Hunting" Group of skills into my hunters exlusively. Eventually, either at my first big ambush or Armok forbid, seige, I then convert the males into Warriors with uniforms. If I've gotten any kind of luck, they've already gotten lots of training as archerdwarves, and I have loads of leather around to make basic armor, but more often than not, seal the gate and make pot-shots from the entry castle and pray.

Once the threat is gone, the dwarves stay in the squad and get set to no jobs, praying that they will go use the provided Archery butts, and not be bugged again. Assuming everything works, any male with hunting skill ends up in my first squad, and usually by the end of the 3rd year I have a full squad of crossbowdwarves. Melee military, I haven't really ever needed, the drop-hall of winding with the staggered fortified access over the flooded pit of doom with drains usually keeps anything out long enough to put a thousand bolts through it before it gets to my side door. Though, I do actually tend to build a danger room and stick a third of my troops into it on schedule. Gotta raise armor and dodge somehow!

I wish the games I'm in would update.

Granted. The updates are scheduled, posted and completely bugged out.

I wish I had a plan for American Independance day.

Biggest thing I worry about with digging sieges is the off chance that the siege in question actually starts in the caverns (definitely an apparent possibility) then digs up into your fortress, and the player has NO idea that it's even coming until it's inside and killed your dwarves. Or an ambush starts out on the surface, decides it's better to dig to your doom, and again, without warning gobs are in the dining room.

But with all the new plants, I'm looking forward to seeing how the new farming is going to work. I'm also interesting in the new movement options, and the fact that history still advances after game start is going to be interesting too. Hopefully it won't kill FPS too badly on my POS machine.
