I've always been sieged with pops lower than 80. Now I have a 100+ pop, fort worth 3mil and only had one siege of goblin bowmen who ran away after 2 or 3 of them died to traps.

And strangely, there was a goblin snatcher and a human snatcher with the siege.

By 'always' do you mean, in this version (or miraculously in 40.x)?
Earlier versions had loads of ambushes/sieges so aren't really relevant. Neither are zombies.

While plentiful sieges are a welcome sight, with no trade/wealth triggers goblins shouldn't theoretically be sieging before population 80 (in vanilla DF).

Unless...all those lost 40.x goblin armies have to turn up somewhere, don't they? 

Hm I use a pop cap of 60 and beautify a lot so either that changes the trigger for population or I reach a wealth trigger, I guess.

And in this version I stopped using the pop cap because of the extra jobs and petitions and so on.

Best thing to do with all those migrants is throw them in a militia squad and send them out to kill everything, the more dangerous the better. If any survive, they'll be great warriors.

But are there combat reports? Mine didn't show any combat reports and I started a new fortress in .03 and I haven't had any deaths so far.

Your case sounds like it could be a dwarf enraged by booze.

Sorry if posted before.

I built walls to isolate dwarves that were bitten by a werecreature in my lower levels and got spammed with loads of haul cancelations.

This didn't use to happen right? After the current jobs were cancelled, the dwarves afterwards just ignored any items on the other side of walls. At least that's how I remember it.

They also seem to keep trying to collect webs in walled off caverns.

So I try to deconstruct the walls and they just ignore it. My guess is the hauling jobs are higher priority and they keep getting cancelled. Then I assign the deconstruction command with priority 1 and they finally do it but they definitely won't with priority 4.

Should I report this?

I like all these ideas.

Also bark, mostly cork. We already have glass in the game and this would allow us to make bottles, which would lead to booze having the year of production specified so we can have vintages.

Play until the 2nd or 3rd migrant wave.

Since we have books now, why not lecterns? It's already been mentioned in another topic that it'd be cool if necromancers had them but why not everyone? Dwarves read to each other so it makes sense. People used to read while standing for some reason.

Kids' books, pretty self-explanatory especially if some sort of day-care or school gets implemented.

Kids' books would probably have drawings so you'd need ink of different colours, as well as quills, pens, brushes and so on. This has all been suggested before though.
