is there a reason I'm still getting mass migrations of dwarven children even though my [BABY_CHILD_CAP] is set to 5:5? Of my total 92 dwarves atm 35 are children.

I'm using the 40.08 r3 starter pack

That only prevents pregnancies. It's a shame.

If I had to guess your carpenter is probably up a tree. This could be problematic if he's carrying your only axe.

A goblin pikeman hosed up my axedwarf's arm which made him drop his axe, so he beat him down with his shield and crushed the goblin's skull :black101:

I vaguely recall that the artifact accuracy bonus doesn't apply to ranged attacks, so it may in fact serve better as a bludgeon than a crossbow.

Huh, looked away for a season and when I came back half my fortress was dead and the living half was locked in a tantrum spiral. I wonder what happened - the logs don't go back far enough and the combat log isn't giving me any information. Is there any way to figure out who kicked this whole thing off, or is it time to reclaim?

Huh, even the logs aren't really giving me any more information. A completely uninteresting Shearer went from alive to dead in the space of the two adjacent lines
"Sazir Tunomdomas, Shearer cancels Clean Self: Resting injury.
Sazir Tunomdomas, Shearer has been found dead."

It looks like a handful of dwarves just dropped dead. I looked back through the logs and there's no combat or injuries that might have led to it.

edit: oh, I think I know what happened. There were some gray langurs running around outside. One must have entered the compound and scared my dudes into jumping into the fishing pond. I'd seen it happen earlier and foolishly left a couple of water squares uncovered. Lesson learned, but the fortress was lost!

I had something similar, dozens dead, endless brawling. I retired the fort and then immediately unretired it. 12 more dwarfs had died in the lost 2 weeks, but all the brawling stopped. Unfortunately they didn't get all the corpses cleaned up in the meantime, so soon there was miasma making the unhappy people miserable enough to start throwing tantrums and fights again.

I thought about retiring again, playing a new fort for 6-12 months and then going back. That should be enough time for any stray corpses to rot down to bone, and enough time for tempers to mellow out. But by then my FPS was down to 8, plus there was no iron on the map, so it hardly seemed worth the trouble to try to salvage the fort. For a fort you like it might be better than abandoning and restarting with 7 new guys.

Yeah, taffer 20x20 is really big, but I like it. I usually use my mouse to bring the zoom level back one; that makes it about right, at least for me, and since the tiles are so big, there's no weird zooming visual artifacts either.

Well, it counts as if it got lost, if it's the same as the old versions. Still counts against their profit, but eh, they're elves, they would have just brought more cloth anyways.

Elves don't really mind that though. In fact, they don't even mind if you flat-out murder them and take all of their stuff.

Just, for Armok's sake, don't ever offer them anything made out of trees unless you want to start a war with them.

Elves sometimes bring sunberries, which make the greatest booze known to dwarfkind. They also occasionally show up with all sorts of weird and wonderful animals for trade. I've gotten some awesome war animals and exotic pets from those treemongers.
