almost every time the battle plays out

Wait, are you savescumming?

Im Trying To Brew Some Wine But It Keeps My Dwarf Keeps On Canceling The Dute Because There Are No Empty Barrels, Ive Made About 5 Barrels And I Havent Seen Any Dwarves Use 3 Of Them. Any Help

Ok, the best way to reserve barrels for brewing is this:

Hit "p" to bring up the stockpile options.

Hit "*" a few times to increase the number of reserved barrels.  The number is up to you, but I usually go with something like 20.

Exit out of the menu and build some barrels.  Your dwarves will leave twenty barrels empty until a workshop job needs them.  This means the following things will fill the barrels:  Cooking, Rendering Fat, and Brewing.

Then brew.  You may want to stop cooking for the duration.

Be careful with these!

I was screwing around with ethics in order to make everyone war more often.  That part worked, but then I tried to trade with the DWARVEN caravan and got:

"I see your low race still revels in death.  That poor creature..."

Don't make your dwarves into elves!

::Dadamh cancels fortress: stricken by melancholy::

I downloaded this and tried it out. It worked at first but now it has totally screwed dwarf fortress up.

I will play for awhile and then an error message pops up that says "NEMESIS UNIT LOAD FAILED" and then it shuts DF down. I tried unpatching it and that did nothing. Removing dwarf fortress and reinstalling it didn't work either. How do I fix this?

Update: I have tried moving directories around and using older versions of DF. Nothing works and I think that this constitutes a serious bug that needs to be fixed immediately as I cannot play DF at all thanks to it.

Since all this program does is edit a memory bit or two, rebooting should fix anything caused by it.

You did reboot, right?

This is a pretty common and well known bug.   If a magma pipe and a bottomless pit are in the same embark area, this occurs pretty often.

Fun to watch though.

In America, you can buy a particular antibiotic for $12 a pill.

In India, you can buy an eight-pack of the same brand from the same company for $1.

Americans can (more likely) afford $12 a pill.  Plus, it's harder to get the crap pushed through for sale in America, with all the regulation and whatnot.

There are two walmarts in the area here, about twenty miles apart.  The one in the less affluent area has prices about 5% lower.  Why?  Because walmart knows what people will pay.

Capitalism sucks, but it's how the world works you know.

So hold on a sec here.  They topple walls?!?  Is this new in the latest version?

The cave-in method should still work

They topple partially built walls and make the construction cancel.  They still are stopped by fully built ones.

A lot of the time, clothing left on the ground or abandoned by someone will be reclaimed and thus owned by people. I've noticed that items on the ground that are designated to be dumped, if they are owned, are not dumped by anyone (see: wrestlers yanking each other's clothes off and leaving them in the barracks) and instead are just left there.

Ah, ok.  That's possible.

How annoying.
