lol why did Cerol murder a bunch of people in the fort right by insightlulled?

that's where the previous king was.  after i struck him down the other fort residents didn't view me kindly

uh to answer the question, won't the zombies just completely ignore the dwarves, so yes they would win?

i suppose it is an old spoiler now but still you could put spoilers in the title 
anyway I agree the new stuff is all well and good, but why lose the old too?

And here's a message for Cerol:

bring it on.  you have no chance!

wow I actually didn't die and killed somethings.
I am amazed by my adequacy!

I think at first there should be no anger at getting enlisted because its pretty annoying having your dwarfs getting angry especially when your just getting started and also because these dwarfs don't know much about fighting they don't know how bad it is. I mean look at WW1 around 1 million people enlisted straight away in Britain when the government asked for soldiers it might also stop people using danger rooms.

I don't think that really applies to most situations in dwarf fortress; people enlisted due to deeply held cultural ideas as well as a long defined and clear sense of nationalism and diplomatic obligations, whereas in dwarf fortress your reason for enlisting might be: see those badgers over there?  I want them dead.
Of course when it comes to defending their home from a siege or something like that they clearly have much more motivation to fight, and maybe even some should get a bad thought for NOT participating in that kind of thing?

Dwarves won't breed out of wedlock. You need a 1:1 ratio.

this ends that argument i think (once childcare is a thing).  Also the fact that once dwarves reach the "lover" stage they can never love again, so you can't even replace if one partner dies.
