Yes! You're a world generation wizard! Time to go to war with the unicorns.

Those machinegun archers are fun, unless they are used against you ... Luckily they fired all their arrows into some giant parrots before they engaged me.

On a bug-related question: weren't Quarry Bushes supposed to be fixed? I do notice that I get stacks of quarry bushes (1 quarry bush gives 5 quarry bush leaves, my farmers are barely skilled). However, I do not get any seeds when I process the bushes into leaves, so now I will have to find hemp for my soap production. Any advice on acquiring hemp?

I believe it drops the rock nuts in the field when you harvest the bush now

I recently came back from a long hiatus, many things seem different so I choose an easy flat serene map with a volcano. I get the fortress up and running nicely. Nice engraved dining room, full on farming of above and underground crops. An underground pasteur started. I dig out my 2x40 channel for magma forges and smelters. One of my miners dies breaching the volcano side. Oh well I think, at least I got my magma forges started. I build a slab and dedicate it to my poor melted miner. Then it happens. The miners mostly melted skeleton crawls out of the magma. As far as I could tell from the number of missing parts it was really nothing more than a rib cage. It proceeds to slaughter my yak. Then a dwarf is dead. I have no idea whats going on. Then I see on the unit list there is a NECROMANCER on my map. The dead yak rises. I set all my dwarves (around 30) to recruit wrestlers and send them in. They are slaughtered quickly and raised as more and more undead until all thats left is one child running around dodging a horde of zombies and skeletons. And then it was all over. Welcome back to Dwarf Fortress I thought
