You guys should get some sort of medal from Toady for fixing (aye, this is more than just a workaround) a serious bug. As the cause is known, it should now be trivial for him to fix it in the source.

I'm off to order some pets from the mountainhome.

My war grizzlies are doing a lot better now that they're full-sized. Before, a single knife strike could incapacitate or kill them,  but now they fight on and actually get some good chomps in.  They're still quite vulnerable to arrows and bolts, though  I'm thinking of creating a special squad with all the war animals of my fortress attached.  They can hang back a bit so that my shield legendaries can take the brunt of the missile fire, then charge in.

Obscured bug discovered?
Reverse engineered and fixed in two weeks.
Damn, you guys are fast!

Aha. Interestingly enough, I already tend to make all my fortress-born dwarves axe wielders as a sign of status, and give hammers to the filthy migrant militia. Lucky I haven't been doing things the other way round.

yup. BTW I woudl think size still matters for axes and such, just less so. weak sad dwarven baby-adults are still a lot easier to kill than burely giant dwarven-adults.

There's an interesting discussion in this thread (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=109319.0) where people see effects of this bug, from about a year ago. However, they decide that it is just because they are not fully grown.

Well, in a way their conclusion is the correct one.  They weren't fully grown, just not for the reasons we thought at the time.

THIS explains so much, it isn't even funny.

Pressure plate problems. Bad injuries in fortress born dwarves. War animals. Non working airlocks and logic circuits. ...

So either lock down your long term fortress completely or wait for the alpha version. Or is there by any chance a fix for the Mac version?

If you can get DFhack r3 to run on mac (i think you can do it with wine or some other form of emulation) a fix is possible. Otherwise you are stuck with microdwarves.

Can this be stickied? And perhaps the title changed again? It seems pretty important.

What would you suggest as a new title? 

[mavj96]

In the new title I'd be sure to address that this effects all forts and typical makes dwarves about 1/10th of the size they should be; as well as all other creatures born in the fort. I think this is worthy of a hotfix.

It affects all forts, but not all fortress-born dwarves or animals. "Just" 90% of them.

after butchering around 20 cave croc hatchling to save space, i realized that i had 400 cave crocodile meat and an around 500 bones. cave croc hatchling are around 70 cm³ when they're born and that when i killed them. the amount of meat they dropped is what an adult should drop.

other than that, there doesn't seem to be any problems.

certainly better than before

Well yes but you can't exactly put all of that in a title.
