Holy crap i have my pop capped at 150 as after 150 its just to many dwarves and the FPS gos to hell--will i not get some races? When you say 'dangerous sieges' i'm expecting a siege of 40 enemys at 40 dwarves haha when i get 100 dwarves sieges wont be an issue. At 60 dwarves i already have 30 dwarves in full sets of superior+ red steel/leather armor and i plan on drafting every useless dwarf into the army so that means at 150 i'll have more then 60% of the population in the army.

The scriptorium turns vellum created at the tanner from leather into tomes that give you skill ups when you read them at the library. I have no idea what the game related workshops do.

Seriously doom dwarves are truly 'doom'. My doom dwarf did something to a nightwing and it spontaneously burst into flame taking a pack of war dogs/elephants/tigers leaving my doom dwarf standing in the center of the spreading flames bleeding from his wounds.

I've now perfected keep construction hehe need a central keep with a roof around your main entrance and a curtain wall beyond that with a draw bridge being your main entry--the new flying evil creatures are goddamn murder but so will be my dwarf ranged squads. If my fortress survives long enough i plan on putting a roof around the entire curtain wall and connect it to my keep so i can keep out flying menaces with just my keep.

How exactly does training dummies work?
Are they good/better than sparring?

And is there a quicker way to equip your soldiers with training weapons?
Or do I need to go in to the equip menu and change, and then wait for them to grab the real weapons, everytime I need them?

Training dumys are basically a sparring partner who cant die and when you use a training dummy they automatically equip/drop the training weapon.

I swear you wait for me to DL a new version before you release a newer version dont you?

Bah! i stopped using traps in back in 40d the entire point of my fortresses is to breed dwarves to cull the populations of everything around me. Can you kill off all of the underground creatures? if they cant be killed off then it wont be so bad but if they can i'd def edit a few files so i could have a harassment creature with a massive pop.

Its fairly self explanatory on the wiki http://df-genesis.wikidot.com/metals

Its in terms of best adamantium-red steel-black steel-steel

To measure just look at ubiquitous steel and see whats better then it on the 3 tables.

Does the tanning workshop make tomes/paper in fortress mode? i always wondered how to make that. Can the dwarves now make hauberks in fortress mode?

I genned a worled yesterday on 17d, large island 40 civs 4 cavern layers and i got all the way to year 400 without a crash so its def related to civ number and cavern layers.
