I read this as "no dice (objects crafted and assigned to temples.)" For a second I was very confused: "But dice are a tavern item, and I thought only in adventure mode?"

Also, worship needs aren't being met in 40.02 due to a bug, but there's a bugfix in the next release. Dwarves also won't spar, which might be why the "martial art" need isn't being met. I wish you could assign an area as a "gym" for dwarves to practice when they need to; that would reduce the micromanagement needed.

I thought that was a 40.01 bug? My dwarves are receiving all the positive thoughts of praying. There are still a couple of dwarves distracted for lack of praying but it seems like they generally go over to the temple eventually. It's possible the dwarves are so caught up in some other activity/need that they aren't getting to it promptly.

So I built my giant fortress library, spent forever escaping a the fortress I started in, spent an additional forever gathering books from a tower in adventure mode, took them across the large map to the library fortress, discovered none of them were necromantic, spent forever digging through legends for the only two necromantic books ever created, spent forever walking to the tower and manually crossing the twelve billion rivers that criss-cross across the map, got the books, got an unexplained crash right before I got to the library, did it again and this time saved liberally, then got back to the library and was greeted by a nemesis error.

I quit. No library. 

Does anybody feel the game is improved by an inabillity to cross rivers from the travel map? I'm travelling long distances and it's just incredibly tedious. It's not difficult because I can swim, before I could swim I could just jump across with the aid of a running start or nearby tree, and assuming I couldn't swim and couldn't jump across I'm a vampire who can flounder in the water for as long as he pleases.

So I got over 200 books in adventure mode but the only thing I could find with the secrets of life and death was a slab. Time to raid another tower.

Edit: To anyone having a similar problem you can enter legends mode and look for terms listed in the secret_death.txt they either often or always feature in the title of a book about the subject.

I noticed this too, I don't think they're actually sparring.

my weaponsmith just made an artifact silver.... crossbow.... it couldent have been the most badass warhammer ever could it have been? whatever now i have a legendary weaponsmish
oh also the crossbow has a picture of itself on itself

the image of it probably has an image of it on an image of it ect.

When a marksdwarf gets into melee combat they use their crossbow as a weapon. The use of the crossbow as a melee weapon is governed by the warhammer skill. That sir is a warhammer so badass that it also shoots bolts.

in regards to making forbidden libraries...how would one go about separating books to the right book shelves?

Arduous deconstruction, forbidding, reconstruction, and unforbidding every time a new banned book is made?
