So yeah, it looks like that includes SPONGE.

Thanks.

Also noticed that hamsters and grasshoppers were not benign according to that, wouldve been awesome to get sort of a grasshopper swarm or hamster swarm which were hostile. Infact swarms of grasshoppers is a real thing isnt it?

1- Auto mark immigrants... just an on/off toggle (maybe in the Orders menu- i'm not sure) so that, for instance, all new immigrants will be nicknamed "X" automatically once it's turned on
     (this will help things stay organized... i actually once quit the game for a few months after going from 45 to >120 immigrants in 2 waves)

You can order the dwarves by migrant wave number in dwarf therapist, until wave 9 or so I think. Atleast last time everyone that arrived after was in some other wave for me.

I usually stop the game and read info on the dwarves one by one of the new migrants looking for vampires as they arrive.

No, it's a totally new problem. In this case, I just gave my miners the 'metal armour' uniform, which should make them pick up whatever is available to use as a weapon, and attack. However, they simply won't target the critters, even if they are right next to them. In a previous fort in .02 I had this problem, the dwarves wouldn't attack a necromancer.

I thought I had a similar issue, then I realized they were throwing up because I had forgotten that dwarves get light sensitive after some time underground. Fort after I had grates on the roof of the area the military was training in, later replaced them with glass.

You cant really decide which ones hell kill so he might end up killing your best warriors or some legendary worker, so while its cool most ppl would probably still kill any vampire given the chance.

I dont really know how vampirism spreads, maybe it can spread through surviving victims. If so that could be another problem.

try to avoid depending on traps

How can you do that when the dwarves get military skills so extremely slow.

Selling an earring against mandate: Fatal beating.

Drinking all the blood out of someone until they die: 100 days in prison.

God damn nobles.

The new version is cool, I really enjoy this game and the work you do with it.

I do however think that one vampire each migration wave is a bit to much. Maybe Im just unlucky. Also because I havent caught any of them red-handed yet and most of them have really high conversation skills (think thats why they get reduced punishments atleast) none of them have been hammered yet. Just inprisoned for 200 days. Which means they will aggregate over time since none of them die in prison.

I am not running this version but the 31.01, however there arent any patch notes about the number of vampires per migration in the latest one so that shouldnt be a problem.
