What's the benefit of a steel anvil? I only ever use them when my civ has no iron.

It might well be for the best to devote a few dwarves purely to keeping it trained. Think of it as a military investment.

I've got happy little poults running around in .44.07 (till the goblins retaliated, that is).

Turns out that if you raid a site, they can retaliate with a siege before you hit a population of 80.
In other news, my fort population has gone from 72 to 34.

Still spinning up a decent world (is worldgen slower nowadays?), but it seems that sneaking around a place improves ambusher skill. A couple of raids should get most dwarves up to novice.

Regular civilians. Toady ought to sort that out some time, since it's kind of a pain.

Rather than killing it, try to find a way of weaponising the syndrome.

Sounds like as good place to do some !!Science!!. I'll make this the aim of my next fortress.
10 random dwarves drafted to train vs 10 sent to pillage everything.

Get a few more and take a load of husks on a day trip to the circus?

Alternative to bringing leather: live turkeys.
Like a tanned hide, but makes food.

If the dwarf has a skill I really want (metal stuff, mostly), I enable that and disable everything else.
Most dwarves have all the skills that don't affect quality of products enabled.
Dwarves with military skill become professional army, and the lowest skilled peasants etc. become cannon fodder.

You could try a decades-long war of attrition.
Embark scores of military forts next to enemy sites, then retire immediately.

Use a whole room, rather than a cage. Lure them in then put a bridge.

I wonder whether we'll ever be able to conquer a site, not just wipe it out.

I know people who have lived in NZ. They can confirm that keas are bastards.
