DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: What is your stance on idlers?

I hate seeing idlers, however with a fort of 220 dwarfs it's really hard to keep everyone busy :(

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: How do I make coal without wood?
« on: June 19, 2013, 11:22:14 pm »
Use wood furnace and make charcoal with wood.  For future forts, consider bringing a few pieces of bituminous coal.  They are only cost 3 points a piece and they each yield 9 coal when smelted. 
    I have made a self sustaining fort before with no traders and migrants.  It lasted several years.  I just left the migrants outside to die.  I didn't make any kind of traps (in retrospect I wish I had) so they took really long for them to starve to death and go berserk.  From the wiki, I knew they should stop coming once enough dwarves had died at my fort.  Apparently however having a low population and high wealth will attract more anyway.  Every time one batch of migrants died off, another would come  because of the lowered population.  Eventually I dropped a pick from my tower so with with good mining and burrows I could get the migrants to kill themselves off faster.  This just made the new waves spawn more frequently so I started allowing them to live by foraging off the terrain and then planting the seeds from the foraging.  Eventually one of them got a fell mood so I dropped the materials from my tower and they made an artifact.  I figured with some tricky burrows I could let just the artifact maker and the artifact in, but all the migrant trash pathed in to my fort despite the burrows.  I abandoned in disgust.  I was having difficulty making enough slabs to keep off the ghosts anyway.  And wow that story turned dark just answering a simple question. 
    Anyway to answer your question all it took was a few irrigated farms and some pets and I had plenty of food for my entire fort (of only 20 or so).  With a small but continuous production of leather and cloth you can keep them all clothed too.  If you want to get fancy dig an aqueduct from a stream and with the right combination of floodgates and depressurization tricks (diagonal connections)  you can have underground fishing, and plenty of water for wells/mist generators/water reactors.

Read the title, he has no wood.

To OP: Some traders usually sell wood, try your luck there?

So If I contact the circus and have around 50 legendary dwarfs, they'll probably get slaughtered?

How many legendary military dwarfs is a good number before contacting the circus? How strong are clowns?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Human Civilization Developed after Embark
« on: June 14, 2013, 04:07:18 pm »
When I first embarked to my site and checked civilizations, there were three, only Kobolds, Goblins and Dwarfs. However, 4-5 years later, I received a caravan from the humans, and when I checked the civilizations tab again, there they were. My question is, is it normal for civs to develop after embark?

I captured a named Cave Dragon from a Goblin siege. Is it possible to train him? How would I go about doing so? Is it worth it? I also have around another 5 cave dragons with him.
