It's already in, you just have to add the brackets for it to work.

Meanwhile, anyone else note the decrease in the number of items a dwarf likes? Easier to tailor their artifacts.

Also, I noticed a new material. Horse hoof. Looks like we're getting new kinds of refuse.

I use mods to fill holes the game hasn't filled yet. I butcher clothes from the goblins to compensate for hauling problems. I use orcs to increase the challenge against champions. I use Dwarf Manager to handle job assignments. Nothing major. I don't even like using tilesets.

I always figured Elves were actually trees.  Not descended from trees, but actual trees. 

I can see the mistake there. Here's the difference: you cut trees with woodcutters. You cut elves with axedwarves.

I like to draft all married males into the military, and leave the females to do the work for the fortress. I end up with legendary female armorsmiths and weaponsmiths, with their champion husbands wearing their masterwork armor and wielding their masterwork weapons.

Drafting dwarves prevents developing marriage in my experience. They'll become lovers but never marry while in the military.

As was mentioned before, religion and personality play a role in their compatability, but also age. Most marriages have been between dwarves of similar ages from my experience.

Time spent together is essential of course, so locking them in a cell together is a good strategy.

It has also been noted that marriages are most likely between immigrants who arrive in the same wave.

IIRC, you must construct the trap in the water and bait it before it'll catch live fish. That's how it worked in the 2D version anyhow. Haven't tried it since then.
