I though there was no natural magma pressure?

That's right, undead aren't those fragile things whose only strength is in numbers anymore. The armor and weapons are just a bonus, they are deadly without them, too.
On the other hand, they can't be resurrected unlimitedly anymore, so I at least there is a chance that they stay dead after re-killing them.

I just don't get it. Is there any way to figure out why someone is attacking me? To find out about their allegiance? To find out why this dozens of warriors ambush me, have a friendly talk with me about their important mission and then starting to beat me up in a non-lethal way? Everything is very confusing. I have no idea who belongs to whom, i.e. who I can attack without getting marked as a murderer instead of being celebrated as a hero that has vanquished a dangerous criminal?
I like the changes to the game (minus the outstanding bugs and crashes), but it confuses the hell out of me. Bandits are friendly. Town guard are trying to kill me.
Is there a way I can ask someone why he is beating me up? Or maybe why those other two guys are fighting right now? Or maybe why there is a dead goblin in the middle of the room I just entered, everyone is terrified and two guards are injured? Or why those apparently friendly-to-dwarves goblins flee from me, while the trader of my own civilisation begins to spit at me? How can I find out what motivates them do do these things?

I'd like to claim Handleddances. I like engravers.

I just got sieged by undead in my new fort. But instead of crawling into the fort, they just stand at the corner of the map. There is a hostile alive goblin marksman, who runs around between the undead and does not get attacked. Did this happen to anyone else? Is it supposed to be that way?
Edit: one mystery solved: The marksgoblin was apparently from the same group as the undead. It seems undead do not attack every living being anymore. (Makes me kind of wonder why undead in towers attack their necromancers. Maybe the groups are messed up)

Having their civilisation destroyed apparently makes dwarves somewhat touchy. Most of the artwork they create is about bronze collossi, dragons and goblins destroying their sites.
Edit: not to forget necromancers and laughing elves.
Anything else is a depiction of the giraffe god.

I wonder how they got there... Anyways, I'm glad to see that an adventurer like you sees after the people and the palast after the untimely demise of the previous ruler.
About the question: As far as I know, you can't. If it doesn't work with the 'I', the 'u' or the 'x' menu, it is probably not possible (yet).

Is it normal that fortress inhabitants are always hostile to me? Usually, when I arrive at a dwarven fortress, a bunch of civilian dwarfs and goblins run away in terror (even if I show no weapons), while military inhabitants attack me. In addition to that, dwarven and goblin inhabitants are not hostile to visiting goblins from a goblin civilization. In one case, I had a talk with the mayor (everyone was peaceful there), went into another room, where I was greeted with flying crossbow bolts. When I fled to the mayor's room, the mayor suddenly turned hostile to me.
