  How am I supposed to use that 16x16 tileset?

  Are you telling me we can now butcher even Dwarves? Damn.

 Huh, when I try to load the Arena in the prepackaged download, it gets a runtime or something like that error. 

 I know that if you press 'L' you can see all your various artifacts. I'm not sure if you can zoom into them by that menu though. Its worth a try.

 Doesn't matter much. Its pretty easy to deconstruct and construct chairs and tables.

How exactly DOES this thing fly?

I just downloaded Dig Deeper a little while ago, and have been having a ton of Fun with the orcs. On one reclaim, I had a miner/mason (first legendary miner of the fortress too) who got a fey mood. She was depressed because the Orcs had killed one of her pet wardogs (I had a ton of them). It is a gabbro bed. On it is a image of a dog in Gabbro. The dog is dead.

Maybe it was one of those things you have to be there for to get the full impact, but it deeply moved me (and I'm a rather stoic individual).

  Yeah, Orcs make a lot of Fun and Awesome things happen. On one of my first forts after the first migrant wave (Which got my pop to 19) I had forgotten to make defenses but got a decent military. When the Orcs came, I mobilized my two squads. One of 4 Wrestlers, and One of 1 Novice Marksdwarfs and 2 Marksdwarfs. I managed to kill or mortally injure half of their force before my all my military died. The Orcs then came upon my 12 remaining dwarfs. I militarized some of them, and my militarized dwarfs managed to kill the 5 remaining wrestlers, but 2 Spearorcs and a Hammerorc remained. They obliterated 9 of them 18 seconds into the engagement, although my dwarves did manage to mangle the Hammerorcs left leg and the Spearorcs lower right arm. My three remaining dwarfs prepared for the worst. One of them ran away and was run through with one of the Spearorcs spear, easily. The second put of more of a fight and managed to bash some of the Hammerorc before getting his head smashed in. I took a deep breath as I watched my one remaining dwarf, a craftsdwarf by the name of Dakost (Can't remember his last name), go into battle, and I got ready to watch the fortress end. Except it didn't.
  By some insane stretch of luck, Dakost managed to wrest the Hammerorcs hammer away from him and bash half his face in. He then mortally wounded one Spearorc and struck down the other. Then he finished off the Hammerorc. I had a tiny tiny tiny bit of hope, but that hope was crushed when Dakost had a fey mood. He went to the Magma forges, and I watched him carefully, waiting for him to go insane, but somehow he finished the artifact. I guess I had enough materials. 
  The result was an Artifact axe made of Blackmetal that was engraved with literally the whole siege. My craftsdwarf then lasted long enough for more immigrants to come, and the fortress turned semi-succesful. Dakost being the Legendary Axedwarf. Happy ending huh?
