Yeah, you were 100% correct. Thanks for the help 

Insane dorfs will probably still defend themselves I guess. And he is still a vampire so he's in good physical condition, a training program does seem like more fun than my original plan. Think I'll try that.

About four years ago a vampire came to my fortress. After a few cases of anemic dwarves showing up to work and one dead child I found the culprit, lured him into a small room on the tomb level and trapped him there.And after I while I kinda forgot about him, until just now when I checked in on him and realized that three years of misereable imprisonment has driven him stark raving mad.
Now he paces around in his tiny prison, alone, naked and gibbering. That I have so thoroughly broken this bloodsucker makes me all kinds of happy, but I'm wondering, will an insane vampire still feed on other dwarves? Cos if he's no longer a threat to anyone I want to release him back into the fort to serve as a warning to other night cratures that might want to infiltrate my home.

Hmm I'm pretty sure the barrel needs to be moved back to the furniture stockpile before anyone will use it again. And yes even if a barrel only contains 10 units it still counts as a "full" barrel. To my knowledge there really isn't any way to get alcohol out of a barrel, but dwarfs drink quite a lot so some empty barrels should be generated fairly quickly. Of course if you don't have enough you can always make more. Keep the wheels of industry turning.

One exeptional goblin axe lord in an old fort. He was caught in a cage trap during a seige and I decided to turn him into an unwilling gladiator, and use him as training for my meelee dwarfs. However he proved to be a lot tougher than any of my best men, killing many of my elites in single combat. For a while I was just gonna gather a squat of marksdwarfs and have him shot, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. So he served as a kind of ultimate chalenge for my champions. He lived for a good few years until a legendary hammerlord (I think) bested him. I never gave his body any special attention, but his memory lives on.

I was severly dissapointed by this myself, used years to train some awesome seige operators, then when the first siege came they wouldn't go out and use the balistas I had made.

I have this one fella in my fort who refuses to use the dining hall instead opting to eat in my Mayors personal dining rooml. I'm sure I didn't assign the dining room to him by mistake. Nontheless he eats his meals there, every time. And the mayor has to clean it up.
