Plus, your Dwarves walking around with arrows jutting out in all directions just makes them that more badass. Urist SpikeyMayor anyone?

"I got this one during Shorast's wedding! Eh, now where did that dagger come from?"

Sure it LOOKS badass. but putting on the ol' armor becomes quite a chore

I hope this takes us one step closer to finding stomache contents of the butchered animals. "Digested remains" sounds like a cool thing to get. You'd have to set your butchers' shop up near a garbage dump or a refuse stockpile... not that digested stuff is a very entertaining feature in and of itself but once a lion takes a dwarf child or a pet - and butchering it reveals "Catten BeardMountains digested remains" ... then we have a feature I can love.

Overpopulated?

Those weren't soldiers, those were blind fools you sent on a rat chase.

They were the best of the best!

 and by that I mean the blindest of the blind!

The sieges will grow in size and severity. Give it time.

 The caverns hold gems and minerals and silk and huge beasts that are either puffs of air or fortress-ending death machines if you're unlucky. Also there are interesting flora and fauna down there and more than a few poisonous things. If you're lucky you can find small settlements of animal people.

I'm not too concerned about the dwarves... but I'd be mighty pissed if I breed a large animal population only to have it turn undead by some godforsaken rain!

 Am currently considering different pasture designs that keeps animals out of the rain. or ... some sort of barn perhaps.

I couldn't get over my impatience about the next release, so I had to play a little fort.

 Met werewolves for the first time. For some reason they've never bothered attacking my dwarves ... until this fort. They only came one by one but the visits became rather frequent.

 The first werewolf was shot with a wooden bolt in the face. He died on the spot.
 The second werewolf managed to scare some cattle before being shot in the chest, neck and legs. He died quickly.
 The third werewolf waited until a pack of rhesus macaques were turned into pincushions and rushed into my ammo-less militia who were armed with only wooden crossbows. He didn't manage to kill anyone; mainly because he tore off my militia commanders dress and ran up and down the fort whipping the dwarves with it and biting one of them in the hand.

 The hand was severed and three dwarves went to the hospital with broken ribs and other minor injuries. Good times.
