I dispatched some undead and a head flew off and landed on a tree and reanimated. The problem is my marksdwarves cannot kill it (took multiple shots and didnt die), my melee dwarves cannot reach it, and I cant build anything near the tree or chop the tree as my civilians flee as soon as they take sight of it.

Any tips for dispatching the treedwelling head of terror?

I only want the bugs to be fixed. With a steam release it will be a lot more pressure to fix bugs instead of adding them in, and that will help with lot of the frustrations I experienced trying to minmax my forts as I do.

you can throw your more capable dwarves into squads and start training them. I see nothing wrong with a fort having mostly fighters.

Missing/Broken features:
In manager (j>m), create a "decorate with shell" command, then press Details (d). Try to specify the type of shell, or the type of item to decorate; neither will work.
Hotkeys (H) still will not allow function buttons to be pressed to set another hotkey besides F1.
Naming burrows.

Awesome project!

Does anyone know if 32x32 tileset is supported or not? If it is, what is the setup process?

Arbitrary sized tilesets are supported in v0.2. To set up, take the tileset you want to use, replace magenta with transparency, and save it as a .png in /hack/www/art; then, either one of two methods work to use your tileset. First version, in /hack/www/config.js edit the tiles, text, and overworld parameters to the filename of your tileset. OR, when the game is running, type "localhost:8000/dfplex.htlm?tiles=x.png&text=x.png&overworld=x.png", where x is your tileset.

This seems to be incomplete to reach a look of Meph or Vettlingr like in the latest LNP packs. So its probably unsupported?

haha, this one is good! I mean evil, but... whatever.

Steel for rigid armor pieces. Adamantine for mail shirt methinks.
So far i killed thousands of goblins and other beasts and i dont remember any of my dwarves being hit. They are about invincible within 2 years game time.

Thanks for the insight! My fort is around 15 years old with 400 inhabitants. Im losing Fps year by year.
Maybe i can mod out masterworks? In a new world? Would that help? The fort made around 70,000 masterwork items 95% of which was useless like cloth food and crafts related.

When my FPS was around 8-10 I made a test, killed 350 (all but a handful) of dwarves, all of the 200 animals, destroyed 60,000 items (really almost everything the fort had), closed off caves, flux and ore dig layers, turned off everything that could affect fps.
The average FPS went up to 30. Its a joke. Pathfinding (for me) wasnt the issue as literally only 2-3 percent of the moving entities remained, and still FPS didnt go up much.
My current theory is that either my 5x5 map might be too big or my large world is. Im sticking with my fort for a project but after that im gonna embark on a 3x3 in a much smaller world, with only 1 cavern layer and max 40-50 z levels.
Up until that I just workflowed/managered everything, turned of all announcements except sieges, and just let DF run in the background at night or when Im at work.
