DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Weapons!

Archers have a chance of rushing in to bash... changing station orders has failed for me...

Although: the silver crossbows did give them better odds vs the trolls....

Not that I'm aware of, the item in his hand is tasked for woodcutting, he needs a weapon and runs to get another ax. He will do the same thing when he does back to a woodcutter...

While your at it use Dwarf Therapist, so much better than enabling professions ingame.

Go to the modding forum and find it in the mod list.  It is a profession editor with a mouse interface and many sorting tools.

Werewolves will be hard to tame, most will be savage(they eat/kill sapients/dwarves).

Try using a staircase with a waterfall and a dirty water resivore at the bottom, best with minimal flow and an infinite source. Use a diagonal passage and a river/brook.

Depends on the size of the enemy and skill level of the wrestler.  They are mostly useless with aimed attacks now working.

I run water down my stairwells from surface to the 3rd cavern to decontaminate anything coming from the caverns.  I haven't designed a decontamination system for the surface entrance yet.

Its been a long time [since dead dwarves happenes to me]. How have you been? I've been busy being dead, since goblins... you know... MURDERED ME.

Those were your buddies not trolls or goblins that took your life.  Urist Guildeddefense of Stylishprisons hit you with his copper morningstar.  Your brains now line the waterfall generator.

I noticed this as well, but they were a part of the same siege. Appeared to cause a loyalty cascade, and two squads killed each other off.

Just had a massive tantrum spiral on the other computer after my dwarves decided of their own accord to rush the trolls. all trolls died and 15 dwarves also died.  No ghosts spawned, I only have 2 sane dwarves left.  I'm not sure if my dwarves have souls...  Only two dwarves remaining, the hammerer and a child. The hammerer has 38 notable kills (all dwarves).  Version is .18 and I'm using Deon's genesis mod.

I walled off the outside and I'll try to wait for ghosts.  For !!Science!!.

I'm under siege by about 60 goblins, death items are forbidden, I have my dwarves behind fortifications firing at the enemy.  Next thing I know all of my dwarves are swarming out the doors, still unclear to the cuase... even the troops stationed by the cavern entrance have appeared at the front door on active duty...  not sure but I need to get the civies back inside before they all die and cuase a massive tantrum spiral that I'm sure that is coming....  all the civilians are labeled no job...  still face-palming from not knowing the cause of the loss of this stable fortress...

Now I'm really confused... fire is everywhere... !!Dwarves!! are going crazy....  The !!Science!! makes no sense...  Spontaneous  flames with no apparent source, brushfire... !!dwarves!! will all be dead soon, time to un pause and watch the massacre.

Good news:  lots of !!Goblins!!...

Edit: Enraged at all enemies... they basically came out for the cage traps and went enraged when they saw the trolls... and it was one of the most spectacular goblin massacres I've seen, the trolls took a while to put down... they just wouldn't bleed out...

The fire killed 15 dwarves, and 20 goblins.  the only survivor of the fire was one of my elite marksdwarves who killed 5 Ogres with a blunt crossbow only incurring a broken arm.  He'll get treatment if the tantrum spiral ever ends... I have 15 decent docters... they are currently throwing rocks at each other...

TY I was missing the vellum at tanner part.  Didn't know the Rockball Field was just for decoration.  This would be useful information to put in the wiki.

209
The scriptorium, the library, the soccerfield.  None of it is on the wiki.  I have all possible resources just have blank workshop build lists.

ok, what are the reagents to all the training workshops, I can't get several of them up and I'm having trouble finding the information.
