Every release is a bit grimmer. Much longer and I'll start to wonder if Toady One is channeling the spirit of H.P. Lovecraft.
Of course, if my dwarves get an awesome syndrome (...Everyone think about that statement for a sec), then I'll love the update and release the FB into my population. MUAHAHAHA! BATHE IN THE VENOM THAT WILL STRENGTHEN YOU! Aw, crap, a baby punched it to death.

Huh, I thought the title said "Kobold Apprentice Conference." That would be interesting...

I found the save! It's KC, though, so either someone needs to know how to extract seeds from saves or you will have plenty of !!fun!!!
It does seem to be abandoned and without animals...strange...

Here you go.
It's clearly not abandoned, there are many human soldiers in the courtyard.
Oh...I didn't notice...Oops, well, you'll have to work extra-extra hard to get that native platinum then!

I had a bunch of traders' yaks (always yaks... :-\) engraved lifting assorted trade goods due to the civ being an itemthief. Maybe I could draw one of those...

Besides the ever-changing monarchs, it seems all of those goblins have dwarf names. Very intresting indeed.
They were raised in a dwarf culture and use its language.
And that makes me wonder: do goblins have facial hair? I know dwarfs integrated in goblin culture shave. Time to check the raws.

EDIT: they do have facial hair. So the only difference between these dwarf-goblins and a real dwarf is that the gobs are green. Too bad we can't get goblin immigrants.

Goblins are NOT like dwarves unless they drown stuff in magma, slaughter kittens at a whim, tear apart elves for fun, and eat only plump helmets. Golbins aren't that dwarfy. Especially being allied to elves.
What part of "dwarf culture" did you not understand?

Try walling your whole map off with dfliquids. Open the caverns, if not already made. See what happens.

Isn't walling the map off also possible using raising bridges? I think that is how Sphalerite did it, when beginning to breed sea serpents.
Bridges, dfliquids, statues, ice, channels...the opportunities for "No Wall" abuse are endless.

So does hollow space--if the ceiling is a rock wall, it will fall in and crush your nobles migrants pioneers.

I think they "sell" everything they had and "buy" new gear. Could be wrong, though.

This is very useful when your dwarf has a backpack full of *crafts* and gold coins and Xpig tail cloakXs and such as his only armor.

Harvesting crops isn't specific to any task, though it trains farming.  You can disable it in the o menu, and only allow farmers to harvest from the field.
I thought it was food hauling.
I usually let him, in case the liason is coming to make me a barony and the caravan hasn't left yet. Which is also part of why I make sure my leader is always my broker.

Infections are notorious for being unpredictable and deadly.  There's very likely no hope...
Well, maybe I can set up a hospital...

Genesis mod.
My stone dwarf miner fell a couple z-levels, healed up mostly, and died from infection suddenly a season later while mining out a new storeroom. He was almost legendary too!
But he didn't show any signs of having an infection, like slowing down or unhappy thoughts, unless you count a bloodstain on his wrist that he couldn't clean off despite taking soap and apparently immersing himself in a murky pool.

...WTF?
Will savescumming do any good? I really don't like savescumming, but will to save my dwarf!

1.) Not very; it's turn-based, so unless you go to an abandoned fort with an automatic cave-in trap that was left running or something, you're fine.

2.) Arrow keys, and for me at least numbers on the top of the keyboard.

3.) Not to my knowledge, but I don't even know what a wikibook is, not had I heard of one until now, so don't ask me.  :-[
