More than 8000 Furies after v.high civ worldgen with new version. Much better.
Did you change Frogmen change to Frog Demons, or have they always been demons?

There's a laughable blob of steam chasing elk birds around my cavern right now. It keeps trying to push them but has no force.

Take a look at the list in the link below. These are a couple of things which the programmer (singular) thinks should be in the game. You could ask 'why isn't it in yet?!' about any one of these features and the answer would be the same. It's because the game isn't finished yet and there's one guy (with support from brother, cat and a couple of thousand generous fans) working on putting them in the game (with occasional breaks for bug stomping and panel discussions) who estimates it'll take another 15-20 years before it all gets done.

Adventurer is generally in a less complete state than other parts, so yes, in all probability you overestimated it. Fortunately the modding community is very impatient and thanks to them a lot of stuff (like adventurer mining) can already be done with only a little effort.

Double post

I've found the best Legends stories are ones you come across by accident. Searching deliberately tends to send you round in circles. Of course, by the time you realise you're on to something special you have to go back and try to find where you started.

And yes, you need too work out a comfortable way to browse Legends mode, Legends Viewer and World viewer too which occasionally gives you a bit of extra info (though I can't recall what exactly).

For real, what happens now that the game generates music and poetry?

The game only generates text descriptions of them, not the artworks themselves... much the way that books are in the current version.  The newer art forms are more detailed that book styles, though.

Surely we can match it up with thematically appropriate music? You could do anything from playing generic "cheerful/mournful" music to filtering music and poetry databases for similar creations.

But then you'd have a description of chanting dwarves and an alien sounding microline 15 stringed instrument, but 'generic happy music' playing in the background. If that's all it can do, would rather it not bother and stick to my imagination.

1) What's 'minimum number to train' set at? There's some odd info at the wiki which says set it to 2, which in my experience messes up everything. Set it to 10 if it's not already (I keep it set at the number of Dwarves in the squad which seems to work too).

2) Why set CIV to alert/training? Something to do with burrows? Probably not related to your issue, just curious. Squad training schedule is set on the active/training schedule, right?

3) Are they all actually carrying bolts, crossbows and quivers? They may be assigned but not able to reach the stockpile for some reason.

Finally, they won't go to the archery range all of the time, but they should be having crossbow demonstrations, dodging lessons and stuff if they're set to train properly. On the other hand if they're not set to train properly, they'll do individual drills and archery range training in their spare time.

Edit: And check each of your targets again. Each one needs to be set separately. Ensure direction is set right too.
