I've got some issues with the raiding system. Putting them here because there's no sign of a [Warlock]-bug reports and known issues thread.

You could give Warlocks a renewable source of Warpstone, like trading it from Demons/Drow or transmute it from other useless ores. Then some research to unlock Warpstone-related workshops.

I never realised i could get so much poison from the Demonic Attorney. Ill need to start building that thing early on. Nether Horror poison for 1 Soul?! God damn.

Is there any reliable indoor way to farm meat for my Ghouls? None of the animals seem like they breed very fast, and i cannot make a Fishpond. So i guess fishing from cave systems is my main option?

Warlocks can't fish. Murdering siegers and animals is the only way. Or you might get meat from raiding too?

This sounds neat. If you're looking for trap ideas, you can check out Charmcrafted right here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=133503.msg4985905#msg4985905

Charmcrafted is basically the same challenge, but vanilla DF. Now that I'm done advertising, I'd like to request a dwarf: An engraver of some sort, if being underground is going to be a thing now. If not, I'd like to be an arcanne dwarf or failing that, a mechanical thingy thing.

21st timber: Armok DAMN you, Niku:
22nd timber: We have halted the making of parquet tiles and begun construction of the new defenses. We must however wait for a new migrant, as Our minister of forging has disappeared.

23rd timber: Finally: Maybe now Niku will cease his disorderly conduct

24th timber: Or maybe not: Now we need two more migrants to replace our losses. At least, the minister of research, "avdpos" has clothes now. That should prevent any more tantrum/madness cycles. To honor Nikus memory, We appropriate the fine silken garmants he made for Ourselves. We have decided to accelerate the progress of getting enough gold to fuel the townportal:

Hey over there;

my first post here... unfortunally some kind of a bug:

I had my time with the Kobolds, when I decided to designate the trees at the other side of the local stream for chopping. Well. One of my bolds made it to the other side, started chopping wood and refuse to come back. I could wait for winter to solve this, but I wonder why he isn'T swimming back.
So i tried to build him a bridge... uhm... how to say... none of the Kobolds want to build this building. So I tried out to build a Floor over the river. They build up three pieces of floor, but that dumb river is exactly four tiles wide.
Aaaargh.
I'm sad that there is no shovel any more to enable my Kobolds digging a channel below the river. Thats what I do with dwarfes usually - If you can choose between a lame bridge and a narrow tunnel filled up with green glass serrated sawblades... anyway.

I'm afraid the wonderous travel of the one Bold to the other side of the river might be explainable with a shallow part of that stream at the very corner of the map. Bu I do not understand what problem the Bolds have building a way over that river. Ah, no, I have a Mechani-Bold with that Embark-Group, that should perform well as an engineer. (its enabled).
So...?
Next thing I will try is mass-butchering my poor lifestock, to get bones, that will be converted to bone-blocks and build the bridge out of bones... well, at least thats classy.

Greetings

You need architecture to build bridges. Its should be under misc labors at the bottom of the labors screen.

19th moonstone: My mandate for spears has still gone unfulfilled. The legendary weaponsmith, 4maskwolf refuses to make spears. Apparantly, making spears is against the constitution of this mountainhome. I'm not inclined to press the issue, not wanting to overly disrespect the values of my new refuge. I asked if he could make them and then melt them down again. He said that that would be art defacement. I went and told shadowhammer to go make some spears and then melt them down. Thats fine apparantly. What does a dwarf have to do to get some spears around here? I also told the new mayor that my training spears and furniture were of the highest priority and that the stockpiles records could wait.

20th moonstone: Today was a good day. Some obsessed dwarven kid just finished making an artifact. A blind cave ogre bone amulet to be precise. Its called Lolumfath "The wooden sacks". It is worth 72000 sovereigns.

The engravers have finished engraving my throne room and excavation on my dining room proceeds apace. The cavern creature area is ready to be populated and I have sent orders for others to do so.

21st moonstone:
My mandate for spears has been fulfilled at last. This has caused me to feel an alarming amount of satisfaction. Apparently, someone had set some of our valuable steel blades to be melted. I rescinded that order. We caught an opposum. Its a start at least. I've set our potter(s?) to making stoneware pots.

22nd moonstone: The potter churned out 10-14 stoneware pots between yesterday and today. I'm going to need to stockpile more clay next time I set him to work. My dining room is fully excavated and I've sent the engravers to go smooth it. I've got the miners digging out my bedroom now. The peasants were storing animal traps in the animal training area, so I've ordered those dumped into the volcano. Also, a magma crab is sniping a bird.


(OOC: My dwarfs been king since year 1? I hope he doesn't die of old age. Also FPS is pretty slow. And the potter is really skilled. I don't know who the potter is. There are too many dwarves for me to sort into professions or care about. Also, my very own artifact) 

Here's a new one.

Buildings like the shrine, alter, circle, that have the option of building them with "fresh" souls, that is souls that haven't been preserved in phylacteries. Problem is, those souls still wither, and the workshop breaks (akin to ice melting). Removing the option to use non-preserved souls might be good.

Its a feature. If you want a quick, but temporary workshop up, then you can use the fresh souls.

Skeletons are ridiculously hard to kill. Even the bone ones. I shudder to think about what a dreadnought one would be like. One of my skellies had a failed mood and went berserk. I sent in my squad of 5 bone clad and armed lasher ghouls to deal with it. 25 pages later, the ghoul master with the bronze scourge gets lucky and bisects him. The skeleton is by this point a spine, a lower body and a head. He's also in the middle of my workshop area, disrupting things.

TLDR: Skeletons are OP, but whips are more OP.

Skeletons are considerably less OP up against steel armed humans.

Thats true. But my point was that skeletons are much harder to kill then the feeble fleshlings.
