Build a wall over the river, above the tunnel. Drop It in.

It'll deconstruct upon impact. Nothing'll happen.

(shrug) never tried it. One of you long timers told me on a thread of mine, girlinhat or KodKod or someone, don't remember. Apparently a cave in over an unsupported floor will collapse it before the wall deconstructs.

Would work just as well if you use the dig ramps up from under a bridge under the river method.

Depends on how far away it is - if you have a volcano, you should be fine as long as you take care where you dig. If you have to bring it up from the magma sea, though, you will kill your framerate.

yeah, i was wondering about that. I haven't struck magma yet, though i've found a cavern. How deep would you usually go to get to magma?

Underneath the third cavern.

Ho damn, there's that much more?
This is the first time i've really dug that far. Nubbly me.
do caverns always have forgotten beasts? i'm sorta afraid to venture in just yet.

Since civs never hunt FBs, yes. Beware, some may be cuddly, like a fluffy wambler made of sugar. Or a Lion humanoid beast made of pure-steel that shoots brain-rotting blood.

Oh, and when the miners are praised for discovering the holy metal, be sure to dig up as much as you can before it's too late...

Proficient diognostician - closest to what I do, I hold the 2 highest unrelated (to each other) credentials in my field of medicine, halved because diagnostician is a "doctor" skill, and I'm just the lowly guy that tells the doctor what the diagnosis is for him to sign off on as his own.

Adequate mechanic - I am in charge of all things computer, network, IT in general, at my job, in addition to afore-mentioned duties. As the guy above, halved because mechanic is the closest to computing in DF.

Competent swimmer (rusty) - can hold my breath several minutes, strong swimmer. Or at least I was, when I last entered water 3 years ago.

Dabbling miner (rusty) - I once dug a hole

Talented hauler (rusty) - worked several jobs that involved heavy or repetitive lifting with high volume and low allotted time, earning employee of the month, one job in the first month I worked there.

Cave adapted - I rarely see the sun. We had an argument a few years back... We feel it's best this way. 

Aaaaand... That's it. No hobby skills, no social skills... Ya, I'm pretty boring :p

If your forts get to under your desired FPS level at 65 dwarves then why don't use use the currently slightly bugged population cap?
If you set it to 20, it should stop sending immigrants around the 50 dwarves level.

I love that in this game "slightly bugged" means "the cap doesn't trigger until two and a half times where it's supposed to".

My understanding is its not bugged, it just works really weird. When the liaison comes and sees you're at/over the cap, he returns home and tells them to stop sending migrants. But any migrants already on their way still arrive.

If you keep your wealth low, you get small waves, and you'll be very close to the cap.

As opposed to generating massive wealth and getting 60+ migrant waves.

Not really special, but I build an actual cemetery, underground, of course. Rows in individual plots with coffins in them, once all death items are placed inside, I floor over the opening and place a memorialized slab to the dead on top.

It was kind of a last ditch effort, at first, dwarves were still upset over the buried friend, so I put a slab on top and they all got ecstatic. Standard now :p

Edit: oh hey, Slink, you could also make a temple to the deity of balance, just make it symmetrical and build it on top of a single up/down staircase tower :p

Not really my own stupidity, but it elicited a mental facepalm...

Legendary+5 stonecrafter gets a fey mood. Crafts a 61,500 urist marble crown.

Waste of a mood...

Goblins are naturally hostile towards every other race due to their BABYSNATCHER token, which among other things renders the possessing entity hostile to all entities without that token. War goes above and beyond that. Goblins and humans are hostile to each other, in other words, they just haven't formally declared war on each other since the last time they formally made peace (which wouldn't stop the hostilities, just the formal war).

Kobolds are similar, hostile due to their possession and everyone else's lack of the ITEM_THIEF token.

Ok, cool. Kind of what I assumed. So they're at declared war with everyone but the humans... Guess that hate elves as much as we do :p
