+1 to finding more people

Also, is everyone in our tribe efficient Proficent with the throwing spears? We only trained up the old guy as far as i remember, so we should make sure everyone has some skill.
And make some packs from animal skin to carry food in.

FTFY (sorry that was kind of obsessive compulsive of me but I had to do it)
+1 to all the ideas.

bumpz

This games needs to make agriculture harder in order to realisticaly simulate the time period it is based on, and the dynamics of a non-industrial economy/bump.

capture a GCS, don't tame it, make sure you have fortifications in between it and the room containing the cages, put a bait creature in aforementioned room. it will proceed to fire webs on the cages and near the creature, it will be unable to kill the creature, and now you have webed cage traps. Also make sure there is a raisable drawbridge inbetween the GCS and the fortifications so you can seal it off into a room where it can not shoot at your dwarves or the bait animal any more, after it has finished webbing the traps.

Well, I for one enjoyed the Silmarillion.

I did aswell.

Just downloaded DF again, what should I do? Any pro-tips about the new version?

Problem is that carp's mouth have no acid resistance, so in that way we'll hurt ourself

Mucus glands, like in stomachs with acid glands ? Or hollow, fanglike teeth so we inject acid like snakes inject venom ?

Lets go mucus glands because we currently can only resize/relocate things we already have DNA for, and seeing as how we have not eaten a snake (yet), we don't have the DNA for fangs. Also make sure we can turn off mucus production if necessary, so we don't choke on mucus, and only start to produce it before we eat along with the acid.

Over the course of a month go looking for other tribes. Before you start searching however, make 3 throwing spears for everyone in the tribe and try to build up a small stock of food so we can use it in the course of diplomacy. Also try to figure out how to make portable tents. Think of it like expanded cloths. You have put things abovve your head and have noticied it keeps the rain away, and you like the animal fur wrapped around your body, so wouldn't it be nice to have animal fur constantly above your head? (just trying to think about how the first guy to come up with the idea of tents thought about it.)

Also, I hope for this entire time we were procreating. We need some more people.

you can't just go up to people and get laid.

It's largely down to chance.

or rape, if the mood ever takes you... but that does lower respect of the tribe massively.

lol, I just meant increasing the chances.
