I have to ask: how did you do that final text effect (beyond reddening)? It's really cool.

Do note that scholars are also book thieves.

Not if you never let them leave.

I have this idea for a fortress sorted by religion, but atheist dwarves would complicate that a lot. It's not like I occasionally come across one either; my last migrant wave consisted entirely of them. Therefore, I'd like to remove them from the game.

Is there an easy way to make all dwarves have one or more deities?

We should really have that option.
To sire children.

I believe it's planned.

Okay, two of them don't seem to attack each other, whether they transform within line of sight of one another or not. The other two still seem hostile. I can't remember who was bit when, so I can't comment on their were-lineages.

[edit] put the two in close proximity: they still attacked each other. It seems that transforming separately might be the way to prevent were-mortalities, but I can't think of any way to reasonably automate the process so that were-creatures are separated during transformation only. For now they will have to have separate quarters.

Werebeasts start growing thirsty or hungry towards the end of their cycles. Maybe give all dwarves a dining room at the end of a very long corridor, so that they'll be moving down the corridor at the moment of transformation?

Transformations aren't exactly simultaneous. If a single dwarf transforms just before another, there will be a brief period in which a weregoat can see an unturned dwarf, which triggers hostility.

After a major crash, I've started a new fortress: Legendhole.

I'm trying to build something new here: a giant channeled hole (over a hundred feet wide) with a pillar of untouched soil and stone in the middle, and bridges between the main pillar and the various rooms in the side of the hole. Right now, it's about ten z-levels deep, where I've temporarily ceased further channeling to let my dwarves move their stuff into the fortress proper.

While I was doing this, one dwarf got into a fey mood. He screamed for plant cloth, so I had some made. He then grabbed the cloth, as well as a lump of coal, and created... an artifact pig tail glove with hanging rings of pig tail and spikes of bituminous coal. It's now the Official Militia Captain Decoration.

Also, a hill titan visited (I set titans to appear at 30 dwarves). My fortress is, at the time, still very vulnerable to building destroyers, so I sent the militia in. Fortunately, the titan was made out of mud and was taken down without any dwarves getting hit or being poisoned by its spittle.
