Hi,
I currently use version 40.24, with a world that has been around since 40.4.  Right now, an undead army laid siege on my fortress. More or less. They are led by a living goblin maceman, and apparently no Necromancer (Though there might be a necromances that has not yet revived anything).

This army of about 40 to 50 undead goblins is lurking around the map edge, doing nothing, just as described in this bug. A short look in the error log reveals spamming of "guard army unattached from parent army".

However, the linked bug is marked as resolved, so they should at least try to get into my fortress. I suppose they don't because this world or this fort was generated before the bugfix (40.7). Is there a way to get those undead moving?

Since the 0.40-version last year, history in the whole world changes while playing. Though I have never found any account about whether or not new secrets (about life and death) are revealed, werebeast/vampire curses are placed Village/fortress founding (other than reclaiming) are founded or tombs (i.e. pyramids) are built during play. So, for example if I start a world in year 2, will I get Necromancers, werebeasts and vampires eventually?

No, it's annoying when a dragon sets above ground area on fire and trees start plummeting down many levels wrecking your workshops, farms and stockpiles and killing your dwarves with cave-ins (tree-ins?).

That sound very !!annoying!! to me.
Creating the pastures more than one level below the surface is not an option, since there is only one layer of soil. So I guess I will go with the roads to block tree growth. Thanks for the tips!

In my fortress, I have dug out a large area directly below the surface. My goal was to create an underground pasture, where I can put my livestock without it being eradicated every time I get sieged.

But when the first siege arrived, some goblins entered my fort. I quickly found out why: There where holes in my roof. I have no idea why, but apparently the goblins use them to climb down into my fortress. After the siege, I darned the holes, but six months later, at the next siege, three new holes where abused for entering my fortress.

Now... why are there holes? Do goblins finally know how to dig/channel? Are those artifacts from trees? I had no collapses on the surface, so that is not an option. Has this happen to anyone else?

I currently have a succession game with a friend running, and said friend uses a texture pack. I rather like to play without any texture packs or different tilesets, which should be no problem, but when I received the savegame from him, I found out that a lot of tiles are permuted (e.g. instead of "Ö" there is "ÿ" for wheelbarrows). Large pots are replaced with something else, as are most of the rough wall tiles.
I have searched around the web and the wiki, but have not found a simple instruction how to reset these changes back to the default. So how do I do it?

Granite. Definitely granite.

So... a month ago or so, my best (and only) gem cutter got possessed and claimed a jeweler's workshop. He took one rough sapphire and begun a mysterious construction. And he keeps muttering Irolmeng, but he does not finish his project. When I looked into the 't'-menu of the workshop, the saphire he acquired is gone. I have no idea why, but I suppose this is the reason for not finishing the mood.
What happened?
Update: now he went berserk. What the? he had everything he needed, he even started and I have not deconstructed the workshop.
