It's a shame fire imps don't breed. Their bones are quite valuable for such a frequently occurring creature.

And yes, goblins are now friendly to adventurers and dwarves by default now. Unless they send an abduction party or are at war with you when you start the map.

They're always friendly.  Even if their civ is at war with your civ.  It's quite disappointing.

Yes, I miss being able to show up at a goblin civ site and try to fight my way through their ranks.

Now you can't. If I remember right not even murdering one of them will set them all against you, due to the way goblin civilization views murder.

I guess I'm the only one around who likes nobles for their fortress destructing powers >.>

Its no fun to have a perfect fortress.  ._.

I plan on letting my current fortress devolve into a quagmire of tantrums and unhappiness when I grow tired of playing it, rather than simply washing my hands of it by selecting "abandon".

I will wall up the entrance to the legendary dining room, force everyone to subsist on well-water and plump helmets, and fulfill absolutely zero mandates (and will go out of my way to export forbidden goods).

It will be a bloody, cathartic mess.

Remember that when you give your dwarves a 1x3 room you are giving them enough space to fit three standing elephants.

Or 9 elephants standing in stacks of 3 each on top of one another, for that matter. The number of elephants the room can contain is infinite...

trippy

Restacking- one of the great dwarf fortress dreams.     
  Ive only found one good reason for coins:  Piles of steel coins scattered all over a fortress in the beginnings of a tantrum spiral will shorten your suffering by a fair bit.

I'm a bit of a dunce, so:

How?

Isn't there an option that makes remnants of sieges forbidden on arrival? And by arrival I mean when the goblin that was wearing it is killed.

A very, very useful option which has saved many lives.

I really wish you could favorite threads.

I've failed mandates on my current fort multiple times. 2 mayoral mandates for lead items that I lacked the lead to produce, and 1 Count Consort mandate for Bismuth Items.

So far, sentences have been limited to less than 60 days of imprisonment, and have fallen on generally unimportant dwarves (One a guard, twice haulers), and no beatings or hammerings have been issued.

The way people seem to dread nobles, I have to ask: Is my experience atypical? Are nobles as bad as people make them out to be?

Granted, my Nobles all have their requirements, and are kept pretty happy with the Giant Eagle Meat/GCS meat/Dwarven Cheese/Syrup/Flour roasts I can make, as well as a fair number of "Completely Sublime" items scattered about the fort.

I wish my mayor liked lead, it's cheap and easy to get in the rare instance you don't have it domestically.

My mayor likes crystal glass, and curiously insists on having my marksdwarves imprisoned for not making his crystal glass.

It almost tempts me to put a bolt through his brain.
