Ballistas.
also a deeper pit.

How much depth do you suggest?
Ballistas always sounds awesome. I've never tried out those, though.

Have you got a way for caravans to get in safely?  They need a 3-tile wide path.

Yes. I dug a curvy 3 tiles path for the caravans. Safety will be ensured just with a Bridgegate, however.

Do you guys know if theres a way to design a constantly fish refiling underground river/sea without pumps, perhaps?

Triple post!
You can use the edit button. The post will stay there, but you can change it to say triple post (or double or whatever).

Whoops. I accidently quoted instead of pressing the edit button. Sorry!

Which are the 'Can't walk' squares in magma smelters and forges?

[Magistrum]

The darker ones when you are placing the workshop, on the magma forge it's the left middle and right middle tiles, and on the smelter it's the middle up one.

I've got a tiny fortress on a small island. A human werellama came to visit. Did he swim across the ocean, or was he already lurking in a lair on the island somewhere?

[pisskop]

Good question.  They could swim as Llamas . . .

  Likely he is on the island, or the game doesn't care how he got there.  You should look into legends and see.

I'm trading with the first autumn caravan, but it doesn't show the attitude of the merchants (pleased, happy, impatient, etc.)  I don't see anything related in the errorlog.  Has it got anything to do with social skills?  My leader/broker started out with appraiser, negotiator, and judge of intent.

Does brewing skill have any effect? Booze has no quality - do brewing jobs get done faster by higher skill?

Really?  I was sure that I occasionally got comments in earlier versions of dwarf fortress about having drunk legendary booze lately.

I wont have recently yet because I've been trying to test out the new tree farm mechanics to see what kind of output I could expect from them in the updated version of dwarf fortress.  Basically, my embarks have been science embarks revolving around vaults and dead civilizations rather than an actual fortress.

I think higher brewing skill means you get more booze from one brewing - I've seen anywhere between 5 and 25 urists of booze in one barrel, and I think you can't put multiple brewings into one barrel because you need an empty barrel or pot to brew in the first place.

Do weapon traps and spike traps still increase the value of a room?  I built a green glass serrated disk trap in my kings dining room and a green glass spike trap in my kings tomb and I didn't notice any increase in room rank or value.

Edit:

Actually it might, and it might be that the difference just wasn't enough to bump up the rank.  I tested in a different situation and I set up a table in a horrible location, then gave the king his new dining room.  He had a meager dining room, and when I built the weapon trap in it the rank shot up to opulent or something.

It's a fixed 5 urists of booze per 1 urist of ingredient. Grower/herbalism skill matters, not brewer.
