The runes sound awesome, but can their be (or is their already) a way to get them on civilians? mainly the steel rune on siege operators, that would be awesome. although the rune sound great regardless, and make for more specialized things, like hazmat suits when dealing with a FB if one is willing to micromanage, anti archer squads that can close the distance fast, and scuba gear, (question can you put the cobalt rune on volcanic gear?). Can't wait for the runes .

also 2 questions,(I'm sorry if these have been answered before, my searching ability is rusty .)
what is a ward? my carpenter made one after being possessed in a bowyer work shop, and a hauler threw it in a weapons stockpile.
I don't know what it does, how good of a weapon it is, or well anything about it, help.

Q2. On harder mining is their a way to not have the spawn monster when mining? just the dust and warpstone? i want the harder challenge with out the underground monkey wrenches (i have more than enough of those) if you get my point
maybe a suggestion of separating the options hard mining with a harder mining maybe?

so executing the warlocks on sight is my only option. I'm chill with this , i don't mind them as enemies, one of my favorite enemies actually, i just hate them as allies, and i don't really want to gen a new world.

On a diffrent note, can a hellfire landmine explode in a cage? or are there any warlock abilities that let them explode? i had and incident awhile ago during a previous orc fort, when the chaos dwarves, the deep drow, and a warlock caravan showed up at once. One warlock was a necro, and if i remember correctly the dwarves brought 2 hellfire landmines, at first it was all fine (the zombies were actually pretty good training for my military) but then after the trading was done and i was chastising a shaman for demanding a orichlum cabinet, the trade depot exploded, destroying it, all the limestone paved roads around it, blowing the wooden door off the nearby buildings, setting the entire lower part of the map on fire, and killing everyone and everything at the trade depot except 1 fire turret and 2 zombies. I'm still trying to find out how this happened, I didn't purchase those 2 land mines so i dont know how they could have gone off, and i don't know all the warlock ability. so i really don't know what happened, and would like to prevent further nuclear strikes(or at least control them). any ideas?
(sorry if this is in the wrong section, i know masterwork adds landmines and warlocks but it happened while playing orc fortress, and i didn't know which to post this question in,sorry .)

(masterwork, or at least i think these rabid monsters are) centaurs Freaking Centaurs, they show up in herds mincemeat my entire military regardless of their equipment or skill, then prance around the work areas for several months utterly stopping my fortress, oh and they murder any random worker that gets to close, and that's when I try to ignore the the little rabid over glorified donkeys.

(conversation recorded between Overseer thefish1992 and the orc scribe Messianicdisloyalty)

NO. you want a orichulam cabinet? then you can stop barring the trade of crowns. we have 73 of those glorified tiaras, and i'm getting tired of these interfering with trade. either drop the ban or i will have you repla BOOM!!!

Dear Warlock Traders,
Re: Concerning the incident 253 Moonstone

I have put up with quite a lot from you already what with your traders necromancy, but this went to far, when not only you, the deep dwarves, and the my taiga orc brethren show up to trade at once i was worried something would happen, but this?!
somehow you lot not only blew up my trade depot, all nearby paved roads, the doors of the nearby building, and setting the entire lower area of the map on fire, but you also killing everyone and everything including the other merchants, yourselves, and all of the animals brought to trade at the trade depot, 9 of the zombies one of your necros raised, 3 of my military and no less than one skunk in the initial blast. We will be claiming a recompense payment from the next caravan you send to cover damages.
On a personal note? Just between you and me. that was the most fun I've had in while please keep coming to trade with us.

Your bemused trade partner thefish1992

The dwarves are nice yes, but what about your magma? Do you offer volcanic or sea magma? How about natural wildlife in case i know some dwarves more interested in a safari? 

So it was just masterwork at work,(I sorry i didn't clarify about the mod, my bad  )well either way she is doing fine after a doctor put some iridium stitches in her head and she went off to work, tough gal.

With a last name like that, it's obvious what you must use her for.

I do like the "likes the color clear" though

i should really start checking my dwarves likes and name more often, i didn't even relize her last name until you brought it up
or her color preference, or that she likes drinking blob acid, and likes elven retreats,

Ok i was doing my rounds in my current fortress, when i got to the hospital i notice a civilian dwarf, curious as to why she was in their i check her status screen and apprently she had a bruised and broken brain. Is their any chance that the poor girl will recover? I thought brain damage like that, was death, but she still kicking,.

P,S, can anyone tell me how to post screen shots?, i want to post her status screen but i have no idea how.
