I'm fairly sure you can change amount of embark points you can have in advanced world gen. I've never used it but that should work, or failing that, multiple reclaims?

what happens when I don't meet her mandate? I'll try to make some iron. I hope I still have the two hematite blocks I took with me on my embark.

You cannot smelt blocks, last I checked, only raw stone ores.

And it depends on if you have justice system up, if you does, someone'll get punished and get tossed in jail or hammered. If you don't, then nothing happen ( but note above post on punishment waiting and waiting... )

Disband and reform squads until you find one whose title matches what you feels it's job is to be. That's how I usually does when I'm interested in organizing my military and civvie workers.

Are the uniform set to replace clothings? The armor issue sounds like they can't fit everything on them, which either means too much uniform assignment, or the uniform's not set to replace clothings.

You need to set a meeting zone using {i} to create the zone and {m} to set it to meeting zone, and all the idle dwarves will set themselves down there.

Aren't milk in barrels limited to 25 or 10 units? And cheesemaking limited to stack of 5 each? I haven't milked and processed cheese in 2010 version yet, but that was how it was in 40d.

I would imagine the largest stack would be from butchering massive creatures that you could breed, like Roc ( which have 500 some units of meat each, according to wiki ) and roasting it, making at least [2000], however it's a megabeast so that's a bit difficult to make an industry out of them. The next most massive creature I know of is elephants, which would provide around a hundred stack of meat when well-bred ( however this won't work very well in versions with pastures, without adjusting the grazer value. )

http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010:List_of_creatures_by_adult_size this could help, though.

And stack of 20 plants from potash? I thought the maximum was 12, and that's getting very lucky 

Wouldn't have any idea of value, you could cheat and use dragon meat, which have 15x value, though only 110, 130 stacks of meat ( just checked in arena mode )

'Easiest' way would be to set every workshop that produces the bits to do the jobs on repeat, and sell/melt the excess/underquality stock until you runs out of materials 

Of course that's a tad absurd for most things, manager's the best way if you want to make a batch. There're limit of 30 items per order, but if you need more, might as well run it on repeat.

Sure, you construct a wall then you carve fortifications into it.

Just like natural rock walls, except you don't have to smooth it first.

Wow, learn something new everyday, just tried it in the .18 fort I'm playing in, and that worked.
