My dwarves aren't taking any drinking utensils from the chests I put in the tavern. Are they reserved for guests/visitors or something?

Yep, if I'm not mistaken those goblets are only used to serve drinks to the patrons  by a barkeeper or a performer if you have them appointed.

In my forts, I simply ban mugs and goblets from all finished goods stockpiles. As a result, since the dwarves drop these items when they are done with them, they end up right where they need to be, on the booze stockpiles.  ;D

In last DF versions, I had plenty of goblin sieges, but no any ambushes. Are they disabled? Is there a way to bring them back?

A dwarfs lungs just randomly stopped working and he suffocated. There was no combat report or anything... Does anyone have a clue what it might have been?

They choked on their own vomit due to drinking too much, most likely. I have had that happen, but I saved that dwarf through cheating: using the dfhack command clean all removed the vomit from her lungs and she could breathe again. And went right back to drinking.

What? How?! I.. what?

Sorry. I'm still processing that Dwarves aren't actually immune to alcohol...

Wild, right?

As far as I know though, this can only happen in taverns with an over-eager tavern keeper who just won't stop serving drinks. You might want to unassign them, or like, assign a dwarf who can't walk or something.

Ah, okay. That's a splendid idea! Of course, if only these now pesky humans would leave the fort..

Okay, I've unassigned the barkeep (after two more corpses mysteriously appeared with claystone mugs in their hands). Will see if the problem goes away.

Another question/problem: A siege of goblins came, but immediately half of them left the map. The other half came at me and was slain, but the "siege" flag is still on. The units screen isn't showing any hostiles. Is this a bug?

Built ramps have a floor under them, right?

I'm building the roof of my castle, and trying to figure out if:
WRW
WRW
WRW
WRW
will in fact block flyers from getting in from above.  (I have lots of keapeople and harpy problems).

(top down view, W = wall and R = ramp).

Elves brought some giant animals in their caravan, including a giant alligator. How good this thing is? Should I butcher it or keep? Giant alligators can't be trained for war, but will they attack invaders?
