Where is the the lever that controls the drawbridge?  If I could just open that It'd already help immensely.
I can't remember making one in all honesty, I don't think it's ever been opened, you only need 4 stones to make a new one though:

1 for a mechanic workshop, 3 for mechanisms, 1 mech for the lever and 2 mech's for linkage
If it hadn't been made the bridge wouldn't be raised.  Thus there's a lever and I need to find it.
Eh, my bad, but either way I think you missed my primary point, make another lever.
I'd really rather not.  That'll make life absurdly confusing in the longrun.  I'd much rather just pull every lever around and see what they do :D

It's a personality test! See, I without fail would chose the option of de-constructing every lever and then building new ones as they were needed, using trial and error would never have occurred to me.
That's because the levers around here are linked up to deathtraps.
Good so you see the appeal in mindlessly pulling them. :D
Kinda, yeah. It means I get a new dwarf.

No wooden door can hold a dwarf who wants to pass!

Actually, in my turn exactly these doors were working fine. Somehow someone screwed the game mechanics!

Agreed.  It HAS to be a glitch.  And a very dangerous one at that.  :S

ive gotten in the habit of replacing my chief medical dwarf as soon as he gains any notable skill in diagnosis.
It's really funny watching them do unnecessary surgery because of a wrong diagnosis.
the conditions were bad enough to turn a dwarf who didn't care about anything mad, that's pretty hardcore.

So those doors now have a mind of their own don't they?

I really couldn't say.  They lock perfectly fine and they act normal in most cases.  But if a dwarf wants to go through a door he goes through the door.  Doesn't seem to be any way to stop them barring a burrow.  It locks zombies etc. in just fine.  I assume what happened initially is that a dwarf got injured and was taken to the hospital which resulted in the 3 zombies locked inside getting out.

It's more of a corpse magnet, if you ask me.

Well that's because everything just absolutely refuses to stay dead. So we just have to get magma and start throwing all these damn zombies into it.

First kill it and then drop to magma!

Or let them wander forever over the bottom of magma sea. I don't care
