So, long story short. I traded a shiteton of gold and copper bars for a caged Leopard from the Elves. The Leopard, from what I can see, is tame. I.. am curious to know whether or not if I release it from it's cage, would it attack my Dwarves? I have a decent military, but don't feel like having "fun" from a rampant leopard.

Since it says Tame, its a pet/lifestock (domesticated too) so its safe to let it go.

Only 'wild' animals attacks you. caged wild animals can be trained, to things like semi-wild/trained/whatever, and at any point other then 'Wild' is it safe to release them. but be warned, trained animals that aren't fully domesticated; tame, can and will revert back to a wild status eventually. you get warned by this by them dropping to the semi wild status before going even lower.

On the other hand, every animal now craps their pants when they see a dwarf thanks to discipline, so you will be quite safe regardeless.

Ha, okay. Thanks for clearing that up. The leopard has been sitting in a cage for 5 months, and me having 40 Dwarves and a nice military, being worried that one leopard can cause an entire civilization collapse.

Then again, moments after making this thread, one of my Dwarves went berserk and knock three others' heads clean off with her pickaxe. Was pretty damn funny.

The miners are Armok's chosen. Few things in this world are more fearsome and deadly than a legendary miner with a good pick and a bad attitude.

In future, remember it's vastly more efficient to turn gold into crafts, and sell the crafts. A good metalcrafter can turn one gold bar (worth 40 IIRC) into crafts worth upwards of one or two thousand dwarfbucks.

I found wooden bolts to the face to be the most efficent trading good.

It's even more efficient to make gold nuggets available for the stone crafter in the z menu and make the gold crafts without a furnace being involved. I never embark without a stone crafter.

More efficient in terms of... dwarf labor time?  Fuel?  Certainly not in terms of profit per gold nugget.  Making crafts directly from a gold nugget gives you one job's worth of crafts (1-3 crafts).  Smelting the nugget into 4 gold bars and making gold crafts out of those gives you 4 jobs' worth of crafts (4-12 crafts).

Gold crafts? Dwarven syrup roasts. Such manies of DB!

So if anyone's still wondering how the dwarven economy was so broken as to be disabled in DF2010...
