Also I don't know if the Eagle would slice heads off with he talons. I'd think they would be graspers so to speak in that they attack with their claws by grabbing and/or raking

Yeah. They tend to just plunge their talons into their prey's skull, or spine. I doubt they'd really be much good for fly-by attacks, since they'd just get the talons stuck, and tumble comically to the ground. They'd be pretty good at pouncing on an enemy, and glowering menacingly for a few seconds, before taking off again. Assuming the rider could convince them to stop eating their kill.

Hmm I had something else to say but I probably should keep it to myself. Mostly because it is rude to others and wrong anyhow. Though my ability to ignore it is getting thinner

What this is

I kept the dwarves unchanged, so they don't have [SLOW_LEARNER]. How does that effect moods?

It just reduces all experience they gain, including that which they get from a mood. Completing a mood just gives the dwarf a huge wad of EXP, which will take them up to at least Legendary, and probably a good deal beyond, if they already have a fair bit of experience. With [SLOW_LEARNER], they'll get about half, and go up to somewhere between where they are now, and legendary

I never saw Dawn of the Mountainhomes (been playing less than a year), but I'll do a search! A pleistocene fort would be fun. Did it have expanded glaciers and tundras?

Expanding the icy areas would be more down to your world-gen parameters. It does have a bunch of arctic animals though, as you'd guess. Here it is, anyway.

As long as it's COMMON, armour they ought to be able to make it.

What's the errorlog say? Usually when this happens to me, it's because I've put the filename as different to the document header.

Do any of the new military controlls cross over to Hunters? I know their ammo is handled in a similar way to squads, but can we give them patrols, so they stick to certain areas, or specific kill orders?

Another thing that I find irritating is when someone crams the new entries in old folders. Makes it a nightmare to find them and see what's changed.

In that next version the females at least dont have beards...

This is the single most undwarvenly thing I could ever think of!

Hey, hey, don't worry!
/me pushes shoulder into hitto's head to let him cry out
An init option will allow females to grow beards, it's all going to be fine, alright?

That'd be stupid.  Body parts are in the raws.

All you have to do it put brackets around the HASBEARD tag on the caste information of ladydwarves.
