*Facepalm*
Thanks for the explanation Psieye, i guess play and learn, is this possible to correct somehow? I already have 7 dwarfs dead by now
I also found out that Ducim is the wife of the Siege Operator who is harassing everyone currently.
I knew that there was such thing as vampires that arrive with the migration waves sometimes but had no idea that werewolves exited too.
My assumption is that this is a new feature due to there being nearly no information on this.

At this point I would suggest that a new player just start over.  You were only two years into the fort, start a new one.  There are many other things to learn that are more important and less tedious.  Loyalty cascades are relatively rare.

Otherwise the way to deal with it is to isolate the military, and then keep them forever isolated or arrange an unfortunate accident.

i cant seem to get anyone to go near the traps to remove them to storage. is there something i'm missing?

You are probably missing the undead or undead part that is not in a cage.  What message are your dwarves giving you when they turn around?  That should tell you what is spooking them.  If you have military, order it to kill everything in the area.  If you are not in an evil biome where the dead reanimate then that should take care of the problem.

To piss off the elves.

I ended up getting wiped during the Siege... I'm still learning how to properly defend a fortress.  Thanks for the info, though, I will try it out on my next map!!

Well, what did you learn about catapults?

You would want to use the link feature if you wanted to be certain that only those materials were used.  The proximitry method is less precise because the dwarf will grab the closest item to them at the moment they take the job.  So the first drink made may not be what you want.  Also, if you queue up a long job, the dwarf will eventually break for food or sleep, and then grab any plant on his way back.

Each Yak requires 256 squares of grass to sustain itself.  You can have them all in one pasture, or in many, as long as there are 256 squares per yak.

This is a large amount of space and for this reason, yaks are difficult to keep.  Alpaca's, for example, require only 25 squares to sustain, so 1/10th the space.

No easy way to keep him safe and keep him hunting.  But he's just 1 dwarf, don't worry about it too much.  Just try stuff, its ok if you lose the fort.

which one did you make first? dwarfs are bad at noticing when something isn't allowed in a stockpile anymore. Try setting the deeper stockpile to take from the higher one?

I think the problem is related to bins.  On stockpiles with no bins enabled I never have a mixing problem.  However if I have a pig tail cloth stockpile with bins, dwarves will often grab one of those bins to pick up yarn cloth at the loom.
