Just wait till a wagon gets scuttled in your fort.

You could do without metal by making wooden or bone crossbows and using bone bolts. You just need to make sure animals yield more bone than it took to kill them.

Maybe the traders immigrated, but nobody had told them that migrants were meant to start somewhere other than their destination. Does the potential migrant pool care about where dwarves are?

I can never decide whether to give all my dwarves engraving so smoothing and tracks get done quickly, or only enable it on dwarves who are good at it so I get decent engravings.

Armok doesn't allow dwarves to ride mounts.

Insert_Gnome_Here has claimed a computer terminal!

(Don't hold your breath though. I'm sitting here with a {x Windows Boot Manager x} hoping I do not go bezerk.)

IIRC, Toady said he would make hanging a thing sometime. Doubt he has yet, though.

Well I just learned why long, uninterrupted staircases are a bad idea, especially ones that end in water.

A vomit pterosaur FB turned up in my fort, with blistering dust. My elite warriors attacked, but many were hurled down the central stairwell into the cavern and drowned.


Among the dead is a hammerlord who once got bored of waiting for a giant to reach it and decided to walk over and kill it in two hits. T add insult to injury, each elite military dwarf war wearing at least 10000 dorfbucks worth of steel armour.

Installation of floor hatches has begun in earnest.

So I tell the squad to attack each cave swallow man, individually. And every time they successfully kill one, they decide "Job's done!" and revert back to civilian status (Facepalm #3). But there are still ten, nine, eight cave swallow men still alive, so I have to s -> a -> k -> every single one, which reactivates the squad for "one more kill."

s -> a -> k -> r Then drag rectangle over everything you want killed
or
s -> a -> k -> l Then hold shift & select everything from the list you want killed.
