To be honest I don't think people really care to much about having such overly realistic values. The minute change in density of wood between fresh cut and dried would probably be unnoticeable never mind the fact it would require the game not only to keep checking and referencing different values for different stages of the drying process. I mean as if the game doesn't run slow enough already and you're complaining toady didn't sacrifice even more FPS for such a minute thing? Arguing for declared values is one thing, arguing for a density overhaul and material based states is quite another.

Just get an agile character with some throwing skill. Get one group of zombies to follow you, pelt them with stones, if they have necro keep kiting them and pelt him. When theyre all dead pick up their corpses and dump them some where out of the way a bit. Its a slow method but it works and means you dont have to become a vampire

I'd say compartmentalizing is going to become more popular with the introduction of minecarts. You can keep closed systems resupplied easily with minecarts and you could easily keep dwarves isolated for their entire lives without much micromanagement. I do like the idea of giving the dwarves minimal excuses to trek across the map to get supplies or to sleep though and im definetly gonna try one of these forts next release

You could just as easily port it to android yourself. I've tried doing this before on my local network and a tablet pc. Although as you said the input is instant the actually display is laggy as shit and terribly tempermental. I was using a different streaming app but im sure its all the same. An actual port of DF to android would be pretty fucking cool though

The Great Dworacle intones, "You must build, for all dwarvenkind..."

"A grand castle made of in a calm subterranean magma!"

I think I brokeded it

I think you should defiinitely herd them into a moat as siege bait. Or you could build a hive-like structure completely encased away from the rest of your fort below ground and put them all into it, occasionally dropping fresh migrant sacrifices to the little scamps.

I've only ever had animal men a few times strangely. Last time I had batpeople who had turned friendly thanks to killing FB's. I trapped them all then realised them into a giant marble temple filled with statues of silver and magma fountains encased behind clear glass. Eventually they died from infection of previous injuries but i like to think they enjoyed their reward for defending the fort.

Armor or weapon shops are rarely ever stocked in the current version. And when they do they always seem to be chock full of no quality or -quality- items. You'd have better luck raiding human castles/forts store rooms or visiting an old fort of your own for equipment.
