So, lots of people get around an allegedly bugged Dungeon Master by removing [PET_EXOTIC] tags, but would it be possible to just take the tag in the raws that gives the Dungeon Master this responsibility and give to say, the Expedition Leader or the Mayor or something?

Had a great axedwarf nicknamed "Helenka," had around fifty kills I believe, not the best, but she was getting there. Then I found the circus. And a gobbo siege led by a clown showed up. She SHOULD have been able to demolish that siege (And afterwards, I was gonna let her make a last stand at the circus), but the damn clown that led the siege released poisonous vapors that messed her up. YOU'LL BE MISSED HELENKA. Fort went down too.

Hey, just downloaded dfhack, .25 DF itself, Windows 7 OS. Every time I run one of the binaries (I extracted the folder onto my desktop, do I need to do something more?), it opens a cmd prompt window, then says it stopped responding, and promptly closes itself, without any visible changes to the map. Help?

Oh dear. Yeah, unconscious, every single one....

Well, that settles it, I'm locking the doors. Freakin' freeloaders can starve for all I care.

Recently, some reptile dudes decided to attack some of my dwarves. Most of the reptiles were armed with spears, some with blowguns. The reptiles have been dealt with, and I've managed to wall off the magma pool I found, so any dwarf deaths are really inconsequential in comparison. The problem is...... They aren't dying. They're lying in bed with their chests splayed open, bleeding everywhere. I think they've been like this for nigh on two months. Some are 'content' or 'happy'. I don't have a hospital set up, and I'm a little short on dwarfpower to get one going, so I figured I'd let these unlucky few die, and just get on with the fort. But there they sit, bleeding, sleeping, using my beds and food while contributing nothing to the fort. The ONLY dwarf who died in the attack was a miner who was pretty much wailed on for a few weeks straight while she lay unconscious on the ground. So, are these dwarves every going to die? Should I starve them? Leave them until I get proper medical facilities running?

I noticed that most things dwarfy tend to involve stories of horrible, horrible, misfortune. Which is all well and good, but what about those times where Armok decided to place his blessings upon you for once?
Personally, in my latest fort, I picked a site with an aquifier and managed to dig straight through it without any trouble whatsoever. No flooding, at all. However, I suppose said fortress was slaughtered by a salt beast later, but I digress. So, any lucky moments you guys would like to share?

Ah, thank you...... How would one go about enabling the Farm Fields labor?
