How about making them something actually hospital-related... such as soap.    The cures doesn't have to be the same thing, actually - if the disease causes use of hospital supplies, make those supplies out of the cure material.  Otherwise, build a mobile pharmacy (a building requiring no materials) in the hospital (or perhaps the meeting area), and give it reactions that take barrels of medicine as reagents and release medicine vapor.

Samurai Who it is.

What would that be?

It's just the Samurai.

I'm looking for a free game that I downloaded back in college, but can't remember the name of.  It was a turn-based game in which you hire a team of fantasy monsters (such as witches or trolls), then battle other teams of fantasy monsters (all AI, no multiplayer, though I can't guarantee there wasn't a multiplayer option) to increase your ranking.  I remember specifically that the witch had a "tear from within" spell.  I'm sure I found it in the Open Directory Project the first time (around the same place as Star Knights, another fun game), but they seem to have changed their organization, and I can't find anything there.

EDIT: Well, apparently the open directory project hasn't changed their organization, according to the Internet Archive.  I found Star Knights, but still not the mystery game I'm looking for.

You'd have to wait for syndromeTrigger to do that.

Regular syndromes can change a creature's maximum age, right?  That might be close enough.

Timemancer as an magic type.
Can control time, accelerating and decelerating stuff, over single targets or large areas. Can also cause creatures to become older (If that is possible) or younger. (Normally, it will attempt to make children older and old people younger) with large cooldown.

Or make enemies dies of old age... 

Probably won't work on anything that can survive a few hits from a battleaxe, though (other than a candy-clad dwarf).

I've tried to get my best trained axe dwarf to dual-wield since I saw him throw punches in-between axe swings, but weird stuff is happening. He started out with a battle axe in his left hand and a tower shield in his right (a leftie?). I added a second battle axe to his uniform, he put it in his right hand. So far so good. Because I read that they can use two shields too, I added another tower shield. Now he has 2 shields and an axe in his right hand! Does that do anything?
I put him in a naked uniform, waited until all his gear was dropped and put the dual-wield uniform back on. Now he has a shield in each hand but 2 battle axes in his right hand?!? Any tips on how to get this right?

I also have a question about the armor runes, I put a mithril rune (never be exerted) on his breastplate , but he fell unconscious after killing a few wolves from being tired (he didn't sleep though, he got back up relatively fast). Would a chrome rune (stay awake) fix that? Does that rune remove their need to sleep and will not sleeping lead to health issues?

Previous versions of Masterwork (everything before 3b) had a bug where the armor runes did nothing.  To fix it, you need to update the itemsyndrome script, and change [SYN_AFFECTED_CLASS:DWARF:ALL] to [SYN_AFFECTED_CLASS:DWARF_INTER] in a bunch of files (use some sort of find/replace).

On my map, the great magma sea is about 10 z-levels up from the very bottom.  I wonder if that's consistent on all maps?

Just hold down the "go down a z-level" button until the counter stops, then go back up ten levels.  That's probably about where the magma is.  Candy will be plainly visible once you open up the magma, but you can also usually see it from the third cavern.  The candy in the third cavern is much easier to get to.
