So what medication should I be taking?  I think I'll have to line them all up in rows of 7, and throw away the cracked/scratched pills.  And Don't. Bump. The. Table!!!!

The green pills and the very small pills work the best. So ideally, very small green pills.

Seems to be a relatively new bug in the system. This has only recently been reported several times as a problem in version .17 and .18 that the game periodically freezes, but doesn't do so reliably. I've seen it on a couple embarks, and just abandoned the embark. My current fort in .18 hasn't had this problem, and I'm on year 5 with 179 dwarves.

Sweet, We've got kids! I'm gonna teach 'em everything I know about cooking and combat. Maybe she'll grow up to be the next great chef, or take after mom and become a great smelter or glassmaker.

Tise the slavering one-eyed mite, and it's poisonous spittle? Some say that we Doom Dwarves got marked by the spittle of one such as he.  'We meet again,' he laughs nervously.

AngleWyrm scratches his bald head, as he often does when thinking, and wonders what kind of dwarves their children are.

Dragon's will grow to the size of 10,000,000 when they reach the age of 1000, if you embark for say; 250 years; you will only see a quarter of there full power.  Also later on in years a lot of things change; the weaker die; strong survive; less civs, less megabeast.

Flawed argument. I've embarked on year 1 and all my dwarves were much older than 1. So it stands to reason that there's no arbitrary start of age at year 1. A dragon might already have lived half it's life or more.

Also: megabeasts die out, but the strong survive? Strong what, exactly? No, I think it's the lucky that survive. Lucky to be in the right place at the right time.

The Duke demonstrated an unusually high level of incompetence at the job of Broker. When the human caravan arrived, he went on break. Then he conducted a pointless meeting with their liason, in which they basically just jerked off for a couple days. Then he went back on break. When he got off break, he went to get something to drink, and then something to eat. And after that? Back on break.

Rather than wait for him to come off break only to go have a nap, I've found a more motivated individual for the job of broker.

But other than interface issues, almost nothing changes going to 3D.

That hasn't been my experience; what I have observed is that a lot of the game changes when going to 3D: It gets dumbed down heavily. There is a general loss of depth of play. Going to 3D nerfs the game.

The only notable exception to this that I've seen recently is StarCraft 2, and they had an enormous staff.

Watching to see if this fort actually gets off the ground.

Thanks to a huge vein of limonite, we've outfitted two full squads in steel, and have enough left over to shore up the entrance weapon traps with a third row of serrated iron discs. Not that it's necessary; our military has beaten the goblins so thoroughly that they rarely poke their nose into the realm. But just in case they get uppity and try a seige, we'll be ready.

Construction this season has focused on setting up a royal suite, in case the queen should deign to visit our humble abode. Also, the general populous quarters are being upgraded to Decent quarters for everyone. We shall have a reputation of one of the nicest places to live in the kingdom.

We've also discovered the caverns, and are setting up a military outpost at what will be the entrance to the caverns. The plan is a barracks, training grounds, small dining area and food storage, along with a silk loom and silk storage.
