It depends on what targets you are fighting. What if there's a flying titan or something like that? Besides, there are too many rangers/hunters sometimes, I just recruit them and give them some crossbows to play with. Birds sometimes can be annoying, they interrupt jobs so you may want to shoot them down as soon as possible.

As for macedwarves, it is said they are good against undead (you know, cutting weapons create more parts, and hammer tends to break bones which has less effect against undead).

-----------
Edit*

I recuit soldiers based on their initial skills. If he is a macedwarf, I buy or forge a mace for him. But you are right, it is probably more efficient to give him something else, unless he's already a macelord.

I just use some peasants with some fighting skills and enable all kinds of jobs.
At first it is not really important to have high quality items and you have more than enough time to train them.
Maybe I will train a miner first otherwise I just focus on plant gathering, cooking and brewing.

I don't train marksdwarves. Instead I let them use the same barracks the melee dwarves use. They will shoot anything hostile getting near the barracks. It is good to drive those annoying flying birds away.
Quantity makes quality, just recruit a bunch of them and make enough bolts.

Accidents happened when the dwarves were trying to remove some stairs, stupid.
I lost another two miners. Now I had to train some peasants to replace them...

Open "c"ivilizations sreen, find the dwarven one, see if he is still listed there.
Also, did you mess with the occult (raws)?

Oh, another person became the liaison in that "c" list. I couldn't find the "mayor" there... he was stilling doing his job (diplomat, aka entertaining himself in the tavern).
Later, another dwarf assumed the position ofthe expedition leader and the noble menu became normal.

I can't find the mayor now, maybe he eventually left.

I executed the queen with a rising bridge (and I guess I will do the same thing to her successor, if any).
Then a cave dragon killed several dwarves including a legendary bowyer before falling into my cage trap.
Then a group of crundles invaded when the dwarves tried to recover their corpses...
Too many limbs...miasma...I should have trained some hammerdwarves.

The hospital was full. There was not any water source, unfortunately. I locked the patients who couldn't drink booze, so the doctor wouldn't waste time on them, while making extra coffins for them.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: How to find Magma
« on: February 16, 2016, 10:36:49 pm »
You can always dig deeper, shouldn't take much time if you have a skilled miner.
If you don't see magma in the 1st cavern layer, you can always find it below the 3rd layer...

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Outpost liaison turned mayor
« on: February 16, 2016, 10:18:25 pm »
OK, someone knows what does that mean?

First, the expedition leader became the queen, then the outpost liaison became a mayor? But a mayor of what? I couldn't find him in the noble list because he's not a citizen. My fort was still an outpost at that time.

And, what happened to the noble list:


Where are manager, bookkeeper and broker?

A coati man has stolen a (copper battle axe)!
A coati woman has stolen a (tower-cap stepladder)!
A coati woman has stolen a (tower-cap wheelbarrow)!
A coati woman has stolen horse meat [11]!
A coati man has stolen a (pig tail rope)!

WHY NO ONE TRIED TO DRIVE THEM AWAY!!

Anyway, I generated a new pocket world with only 1 cavern layer. I hope this time it will last longer before fps death.

The first militia squad was called the Long Books of Sinking and the first tavern was The Mint Mushrooms.

I must be lucky because I never saw a brawl turned into a civil war.

My longest 40.24 fort lasted around 60 years before I got bored (read: fps death), I retired and unretired it but since then there had been bugs so I gave up eventually.

I also found some cave dragons but eventually I sealed the cavern to salvage fps...
I recall I cleared enough cavern creatures before I saw those cave dragons, sometimes I had to use dfhack because some creatures refused to leave the underground lake.
