Gotta go with the pick. Picks through goblin skulls as easily as rock.

I could be mistaken, but I think those are just leftovers from an old event that hasn't been in use for quite some time. No telling whether or not Toady may have re-implemented them, though...

This thread makes me happy. I has two axolotls, a golden one named Apollo,

And a black one named Axel,

(oops can't find the picture, coming soon maybe...)

I'd like to say they are friends but all they do is sit in opposite ends of the tank.
I feed them strips of liver (in the shape of a worm), live worms, baby guppies that are overpopulating our other fish tank, some times tadpoles and chunks of special axolotl food. The are quite vicious with the live food, swallowing it whole without even killing it first.

Guh? I didn't know you could keep 'em as pets!

...

Well, if you can have axolotls, then I want an olm!

It seems to be illegal D:

Really? I can't find anything about keeping axolotls as pets being illegal, in fact i've found several sites that tell you all you need to know about keeping them as pets.

Yeah, I haven't heard anything about that, either. In fact, they were actually a fad pet in Japan for a while, apparently.

I voted for axolotl, because Aztec names are awesome, and olms just creep me out. But with how endangered they are, the olm may win out in the end.

I vote for the Orcs and Goblins. The Orc military isn't completely finished and having some Nobles too would be nice. In other words, I vote for fleshing out the "main races".

I agree with this. Focus should be put on the main races, then orcs, since so many people seem to use them, then whatever else.

Hmm. It seems to have counted my vote for 'Designate Safe Area' as three votes. Bug, perhaps?

All hail Tyrving, our first Legendary wrestler!

Awwww yeah. I wouldn't mind getting a look at my kill screen at some point, heh. I'M DODGING BOLTS LIKE THE FIST OF THE NORTH STAR, JESUS CHRIST

And let's not forget how useful coloured rock is for colour-coding your levers.

Now that we have notes, that's a bit less important, but it does still make things easier.

Personally I like having lots of different colored rocks, to make murals with.

If you don't remove [CIV_CONTROLLABLE] from dwarves, you won't get trade from them, or so I've heard.

I have a related question that I didn't want to make a whole new thread about. I wanted to embark as humans, at war with the elves. When I found a world that had an active elf/human war, I switched the playable race over, and tried to embark as the warring human civ. But there was nothing to indicate that there was a war going on! No matter where I tried to embark, I had nothing but the typical red lines next to 'Goblins.'

Anyone got any idea if I've made a stupid oversight somewhere, or if this is a bug or something? I wanna kill elves.
