On the same note, Can anybody tell me whether disease resistance affects the said dwarf's chance survive or even resist FB poison/dust/breath?

your pretty screwed, theres no way to resist rot. Should have used a trap like the one in my sig.

Ok, the wiki is recommending to cook meals now, so here are my questions:

- If I start cooking this early in the game (I have a 3x3 plot), will I start running out of seeds?
- Should I only cook with booze this early, or just in general?  My biggest concern is running out of seeds, as I said already.

But even more, can I not mass-produce meals, such as in the j-m-q menu?  I see that I can hit q and go to the Kitchen and make meals manually, but it seems I can only do 1 meal at a time.  For now, I will manually queue up some meals for my dwarves.  I only have 9 dwarves, so I will start with 9 meals for now.

I've never seen wild animals need to graze. In forts where I bother with field cages to catch random wandering wildlife, I've caught dozens of yaks and left them in the animal stockpile, some for years, before doing anything with them. It's not until they've been trained that they need to eat.

So nobody's mentioned the flesh ball problem really.
I suggest magma. No seriously. Obsidianize the lake, flesh balls are all dead, no saving throw. Plus then you can mine the obsidian for profit.

i think the purpose of the monarch is to purposely incite rebellion from the player and make the player think of ways to get him killed, before carrying out his execution.
On the plus side it'll be like a dwarfy version of the french revolution, hopefully there is not a negative consequence of killing the monarch.

apparently if you dont capture all the spawned animals in 1 cluster, and allow 1 of them to escape, then there is always the chance that a new cluster with a full squad of the animals respawn. This doesnt work for some creatures like giant cave spiders with only 1 per cluster, but i tend to let my spiders revert to wild and then release them after i hatch some spiderlings.

Correct, you can't enter into trade agreements. However, I think you'll find that merchants bring a lot of leather anyway.
Just out of curiosity, why do you need cut gems? Room value increasing?
Ah, that's an interesting quirk. The baron/count/duke stays. However, since said person is promoted to the next level by the outpost liaison, and the liaison stops coming when the king arrives, promotions stop. So if the king arrived right now, your baron would never become a duke. Another weird thing about how the king interacts with other nobles: when a human diplomat arrives, he'll normally want to talk to the king. However, I just recently discovered that if the king is unavailable (in this case, the king was locked away inaccessibly due to being a vampire), the diplomat will settle for talking to a duke. Not sure if this applies to other causes of the king being unavailable.
