If you have no meeting hall, idle dwarves and livestock cluster around your wagon, or where your wagon would be.

Early on, I'll designate a large grassy area outside as a meeting hall so idle livestock have a large grazing area and won't get annoyed from being too close to one another.  That is simpler than assigning a large zone as a pasture and individually pasturing animals there.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Optimal Tree Farming

How much wood do you need that you need to go out of your way to build a tree farm?  I can't remember building any in recent history.  Mostly just in the 2d version and the one that followed it.

You really just need wood for beds, axles, charcoal, ash, and maybe a couple of other niche things.  Even if you have no trees on the surface for whatever reason like the surface being a glacier, there should be plenty underground.

I don't even like cutting down surface trees if it isn't necessary because you can get various fruit from them.

I wonder if some bug allows ghosts to dance in this version.

Might as well do my giveaways now, but I'm at work so I won't be ale to send out the keys until later tonight, which would probably be 7 hours from now or so.  They will all be sent out as a PM so check your messages.

Crusader Kings 2 Sunset Invasion DLC:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Ranger Cado is the winner!

Aristabulus wins Glorkian Warrior by default.  It's a good little Space Invaders kind of game.

Shadowlord wins Strife: Veteran Edition by default.  Another copy of the game is being given out by someone else at some point for anyone still interested.

Did you forbid the material that the workshop is made out of?  Were there any hostile creatures near the workshop?

How close was the workshop to the tavern?  Maybe bar fights can cause weirdness.

If your trees aren't growing much on the surface it might be due to all the trees that grow in the caverns.  There might be some global limit on how much trees can grow.  Try chopping down some trees in the caverns and see what happens.

I once saw some footage of Galactic Hitman.  That was a bad idea.

Uh, well...basically, Voldemort is an evil wizard who really REALLY hates non-magical people (aka Muggles), as well as magical people who were born from Muggles. He pulls some fascist crap when it comes to them. That's the best I can do at the moment.
Even more basically, Wizard Hitler.
Wizard Hitler was in Wolfenstein 3D.
Nah. It was Mecha-Hitler that was in 3D. I don't think there's been a Wizard Hitler in any of the Wolfensteins. Plenty of generic Nazi Wizards, though.
In the level with Mecha-Hitler are these Hitler clones in robes that shoot fireballs.  I'll try to find a screenshot later tonight.
Aren't they just generic nazi satanic priests?

No, they look like Hitler.  Found it.

I believe the Master relationship is the Master/Apprentice relationship, but I don't know how apprenticeships work.  I haven't seen much on it.

Moving writing materials around is just another hauling task.  I'm guessing it's Item Hauling but I'm not certain.  Having a couple of dedicated item haulers is probably the way to go.

HL1 wasn't that much of a tech demo.  It was based off the Quake 2 engine after all.

It did use a lot of set pieces and had interaction with NPCs, but arguably some lesser known earlier titles had some of that too.  I first played HL1 in its entirety a couple of years ago, so that's probably why it just never felt like a masterpiece.

It's been a while, but you could try building a well at your river.  That could cause frogmen and the like to show up.

Dumping magma in the chasm disabled chasm monsters, did you do that?

I never got the fascination with Half Life.  I've played the original and it was pretty good, but nothing outstanding.  And I love 1990s shooters.

Descent...now there's a game.
