Indeed. I imagine him as being kinda like Zeus or somesuch, as far as love life goes. You know, cheating on the goddess of marriage, bearing demigods, etc. Maybe that's why non-dwarves worship him.

I'll probably have an update once my computer's internet is working.

Crossbows let you hurt and hinder enemies before they can reach you. That's useful.

Did you d-z near them, ever?

Thanks for the info, i2amroy. Knowing is half the cliche, after all.

FYI, I've had success without adventure_tier or anything, just indiv_controllable and the creature.

Or add that crazy-ass killer japanese giant hornet with the flesh-melting venom. No kidding.

Or add the Japanese honeybees' defense: Covering the hornets with waves of bees and vibrating their abdomens until the hornets die in the heat. Also no kidding.

I've never been so tied up in one thing to not see a single dwarf go past. If you're so busy looking at your walls being built or something that you don't see the poor masons dying of thirst, maybe you should be more aware about your dwarves. Do you also want the game to warn you whenever a pack of badgers shows up? After all, a poorly-timed group of badgers can also end a fortress. Or how about whenever water goes somewhere near a dwarf, possibly signaling a flood (which not only kills the fort but heavily impedes reclaim efforts)? Maybe it should pause and rec enter each time awolf comes near a dwarf? Oh, I know, maybe you need to be warned when a miner's about to channel, in case you release a weight-bearing wall into the middle of your dining hall? What's the lower limit of risk and inattentiveness before we don't add an announcement?

And new posts are nice, they make it so people can tell you've responded.
