Walk up to a tree or shrub and press g, then select the option that involves fire. Not sure if it works on corpses.

I've not tried them all yet, Fortress mode keeps pulling me in, but I liked my speardwarf and hammerdwarf when I made them. The spear tended to get lodged in limbs though.

Stand next to anything with flesh. Shift-a to attack, press enter to switch to wrestling mode, select the creature you wish to wrestle and grapple it's head with a HAND. Then, go into the wrestling mode again and below the pinching options, should be gouging ones.
I spend half an hour wondering why I still couldn't gouge eyes when I had a mule's head grappled with my upper and lower arms and both legs.

Walk up to any girl and press k. Greet them and select the 'date' option. There's a chance, based on what you're holding, how well you know them, what you're wearing, what you last ate and how many goblins you've slain, that she might accept. Do not attack her if she says no.

Hope that helps  ;)

Weapon types:

They are all pretty much good, except for whips which suck right now. I imagine that Toady will have them become more useful in the future.  You should realize that if you use bows or crossbows, getting ammo will be tough- you'll have to loot it from goblins or something, since stores don't sell it.

Attacking eyes:

You can't tell the adventurer to swing at a particular part of an opponents body (called shots), but you can wrestle with something and gouge its eyes out.  To do this, go up to something and press capital A.  Then press <shift> so that it says you want to wrestle with the opponent.  Then from the menu, tell it to grab your opponents head with your hand- note that you MUST use your hand, and not another body part to do this.  Once you have managed to get a hold on the opponent's head, you can tell it to wrestle again, and this time chose the option to gouge eyes.  You can also strangle people by grabbing their throats with your hand.  You can also break or dislocate limbs by grabbing them (with any bodypart), putting them into a lock, and then choosing a break option.  All of these moves require multiple actions.

Oh, and just so you know, adventure mode is still pretty undeveloped- a lot of things either don't work, or they are not dealt with very seriously right now.  There is a lot left to do on this part of the game.

Good luck!

Removal of the eyes is a sure fire way to defeat most fleshy foes. it also does affect ability to use ranged weapons. my most epic wrestler who fled an inflate error, during his early years took a crocodile to the head. he lost an eye, and could not shoot worth BALLS.

gouging eyes is also a sure fire way to getting more dates.  just be sure to speak in a falsified voice when ever adressing that person in the future.

The answer to both: tear his arm off and beat him to death with it.
