Mod elves so they drop logs instead of corpses. Two birds, one stone.

While that could be seen as themeatically appropriate(How? I dunno - maybe they're trees that a werewolf used as a urinal), it doesn't really result in a meaningful quantity of wood being delivered - certainly not compared with, say, a full load of featherwood.

Elves dropping masterwork wooden statues when they die would be pretty funny, tho.

"stone raisins"

You don't want to use that one - it sounds like petrified rodent droppings. 

Also, check their profiles and give them items and materials they like. A tiny hole in the dirt with a bed and a copper chain is like a personal palace for a dwarf that likes copper, for example.

Aye, it's mostly about the developer and what they can get out of the system, tho a high end PC will usually come out on top(and with games like Supreme Commander, more computer power actually mades the AI smarter)

And I refuse to belive you spent $1700 on a computer just last year that's inferrior to the PS3, unless you wasted your money or sank it into extras.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I think that I'm the only one with an obsession with spoiler tags.

I've seen people call baseless speculation spoiler material on these boards, so it's certainly not just you. :p

Well, also you need to make a stockpile near his (not fo short swords) or he would use only nearest stones (Z level also counts).

Or he could use This mod - it adds a reaction that doesn't do anything, but makes all stone economic, so you can toggle the use of any and every stone type on or off in the Z->Stone menu.

It is, in my not so humble opinion, the best mod I have ever seen.

Let him look through the wiki, maybe read a story or two, then embark in a nice safe area to get a grip of the basic mechanics - soil farming, brewing, mining, and basic static defences.

Nah, you just didn't have any beds for him to be carried to, and his wounds weren't severe enough to make him fall unconscious.
The water is only a requirement when they can't get up to go to the booze stockpile, it has nothing whatsoever to do with the healing at all.

Because dwarves won't carry beer for other dwarves, they'll just drink it themselves!

Does that mean you can save injured dwarves on a no-water map by insuring there aren't any beds avalible?
