I love my captive tigermen and women, they just sit there and spit tiger cubs out that I then use to keep my military from getting bored...

EDIT: Oh god... I've been using these tiger cubs in my arena to keep my military happy, then I would make bolts from their bones... And I JUST realized that they are tameable...

EDIT 2: Nevermind... He was all friendly and whatnot when I tamed and released him... Then my siege operator beat him to death...

Minotaurs need boosting in some way. Jotunar are about right. Spiders are really variable, either lame as kobolds or webbing up all your dudes for mass death. Nightwings are about right too.

So would you say that Minotaurs are not as challenging as, say, Elephants?

Not for me. I'd put them below Elephants and Imps, about on par with Warwolves I guess.

Those furies move rather slow considering they have wings and can fly.
I could just literally send my squad of marksdwarves at them and they'd all be dropping dead before the first one manages to swing his sword.

They move at the same speed that harpies do, as far as I recall. Possibly in your game they tend to camp the edges, which is natural?

My Furys camp when they enter the map. Is it intended?

It's a side-effect of their having flight. There's no way to change that for flying enemies, as far as I can determine.

My soldiers keep getting one-shotted by hellfire imps. They shoot their fire and a second late 'Urist McX' has bled to death. It's not showing up on the combat log, so is the attack actually blockable? And is it supposed to be one-shot-one-kill?

[darkflagrance]

You need shields against their damaging breath attack. Their other fire attack does nothing but release pretty sparks.

...Wretched motor nerves in the upper arm. Now that I think of it, it was the soldiers with one crippled arm who got killed.

Back in 40d, when shields didn't work against their fireball attack, I used corners and fields of columns to decrease the range at which the imps could use their attacks. So even an army of shieldless dwarves could decrease casualties with those strategies.

Every world I've generated, beak wolves came first. I think they're way too powerful, I've had dwarves in full iron (not very skilled, but still) die easily to them.

You might need to take mounts off fire imps. When they use their flame attacks, they hurt their own mounts too, and then they all retreat.

Is it normal to wait more than 3 years before first invasion?

I copied all 6 required files to raw/objects-folder, generated a new world and started playing. It's now mid of the 3rd spring and all I have this far is 73 dwarfs, all the merchants paying visits, one goblin thief (now headless) and first Forgotten Beast.

Sites_And_Pops says there are all those fancy new races living around, but none of them doesn't seem to like to come to visit.

Nevermind, found my mistake.

Interesting. I've been working on other, unfortunately pressing things, but I'll look at beakwolves. Should be a simple fix. For now, just reduce the max size of beak wolves to 80,000. Right now they're only killing dwarves by latching on and shaking them around; I think that's fair play for unarmed creatures that have to wrestle your dwarves to death.
