I believe that dwarves who have 2-handed weapons can still hold shields anyway.
Once I had a vet to use 2 candy short swords and one shield on the same hand. (That was his only intact hand)

Killing them isn't a solution the solution is to fix the game. 32 children in a single migrant wave is way to much.

And that was very weird because the total wealth was below 10k.

Anyone one else is having these? My population was 12 it  jumped to 65 after the third wave.
I think the new family migration mechanics are behind this.


EDIT: Just checked and 32 migrants are CHILDREN.

3. Used ammo is forbiden as default.
4. Maybe it isn't a river but a brook instead.

The time it takes for dead bodies to zombify is random here. (1-2 minutes.)

On the Cave suggestion, you might want to further increment the non-mountain caves, and leave the mountain caves alone.  As the civ requirements for dwarfs to setup in the mountains, and as far as I know, AI dwarfs won't share a cave block, unless its YOUR embark dwarfs. 

I found I can get just as much variety in a pocket, if I crank up the subregion numbers to 4000 and turn down the rivers and up the drainage.  More drainage tends to limit veggies and ponds too, which leaves more land for landlubber civs.

I don't use the min settings.  All my tweaks to world go in the variances, and for me, I only generate 60-80 temperate maps, that tend to have long X as opposed to Y ranges 129x17 or 129x33.  I might try more temps in this version, but encased dwarf deaths from season changes and ice frustrate me.  I like to think I have some control over their safety and actions. 

I pick a 3x3 and channel the pools.  This helps with accidental deaths too.  4x4 and larger takes too much time to assign channels to each pool.

Good luck, Knutor
Pools and rivers are channeled in this version.

A bugged embark. I had at least one of those too. Just abandon, and find another spot.

I'm having a 100% Zombification chance on the evil side of my map. I think corpses that died twice can't be reanimated naturally (Only by falling on a evil biome tile) but I think a necromancer can revive them again.
Question : How this zed disease things work? It is proced gen syndrome for each biome? It is ALWAYS lethal?

No problem here, I think this is the 2nd or the third post about lag in 2012. Try re-downloading the game.
