I remember a while back i accidentally opened a screen that showed me the preferences of all my dwarves, and how many dwarves had a preference for a certain material or food. How do i open this menu again? I think it was Shift + M but doesn't seem to work.

that definitly sounds like 3rd party stuff. dfhack?

[Qasder]

Is that any way to cause a siege or change  relations with other civilizations by dfhack?

There IS a forcesiegs command, though I'm not entirely sure how it works.

Not at all, in the current version of DF. Putnam and Max^TM have had limited success, but no surefire way has yet been found.

Sorry, I was thinking of 34.xx, as LW did it.

[NJW2000]

Oooooh! @Detros, you need an FB/evil cloud/other which can either affect eyes directly, or blisters, bruises or rots the whole body, which should blind the eyes!

Do roads prevent spawning of wagons? The wiki says that natural floor were required.

[Bouchart]

Wagons can move along roads just fine.  Roads work better than constructing floor tiles since floor tiles require more materials, and work better than soil and dirt since trees can grow on them.

[pisskop]

But you cant build on roads   No traps, no statues, no walls.  And you cant deconstruct individual tiles; the whole thing has to go

No, the wiki says natural-land tiles are required, which means the tiles had to be traversable at embark. For instance, you can't build a bridge out into the ocean and expect caravan wagons to arrive on it. Cast-obsidian-filled valleys and bridges to the map edge above ground level also don't work. In all three cases the caravan wagons can depart via the non-natural-land tiles, they just cannot appear there.

If you have natural-land tiles at the map edge, you can build any caravan-passable buildings on those tiles (e.g. bridges, roads, restraints, etc.).

[Uggh]

Ok, so long as the tile has been passable at the beginning of the game I can build roads or floors on it and wagons will still spawn? Iwas not sure about the wiki entry here. Thanks.

[Bouchart]

Yes that is correct.

That's one of the main purposes of roads- to have a flat tile where trees can't grow and obstruct a wagon's path.

Booting up a new fort for the first time in months. IIRC, the physics on some weapons doesn't quite work right, so they aren't very effective. What (native Dwarven) weapons are good choices, and which are not?

[pisskop]

All default dwarven weapons do pretty well, though people seem to prefer maces to hammers.  Remember that crossbows and their bolts have been nerfed from 34.

You really need the metal bolts to do damage through armor.
