Will a chained animal/dwarf still be able to swim in 4/7 water or below?

The problem now is that they're based on raiding, and therefore don't farm. They can't steal enough food (or they just don't go after food) and they die soon after, I think.

There's a zombie roc hanging around my embark site whose name is Aslud Zealcontrolled the Bird of Action. Sounds like some kind of cliche'd hero.

Relevant locations nearby, I think.

...or can you assign them a "tomb" after they're already dead and it'll bury them there from the corpse stockpile?

You can't assign tombs after death. I assume he does it in advance.

I am curious about the layout of the rest of your fortress. Do you have pictures of it?

The rest is mainly arranged on the vertical around the staircase, and is just a random mess, so doesn't look all that great. But my bedroom complex is kinda neat:

(The extra staircases are part of the plumbing.)

This is my 'Forgotten Beast Reception Area' (under construction):

Those patterns are incredible... my square fortress is put to shame. What tileset is that, by the way?

I see...

On a rather unrelated note, setting the volume variable in init.txt doesn't affect anything. The value that you can see in the sound settings ingame is whatever you set it to, but the volume level itself stays at 255 until you change it from that screen.

This may have to do with me using Linux-- is that the case on other systems as well, or not?

Mod in lead warhammers for practicality's sake. Of course, while you're at it, ununoctium hammers would be quite a bit better weight-wise, despite requiring smelting at a large hadron collider.
