This is not a schematic. This is a whale.

That is a schematic OF a whale.

And labyrinths are fun ideas. Lots of mining involved and you can use the stones dug out.

Now supposedly, if you were really dwarfy, you could make every member of your fortress a werebeast.  The werebeasts will not attack other werebeasts.  This closes a few doors in the diplomacy department, but opens them up elsewhere...

Honestly, I've been trying this many times in my recent fort, and for some reason upon transformation my two werebeasts end up at each others throats when the full moon comes.  Its a shame, like he just wants to be the lone werebeast ; (

Are they different SPECIES of werebeasts?  Were mammoths will naturally stomp wereiguanas, afterall- otherwise its a bug.  I've done a were-fort before.  The hardest part is keeping your inflicted alive long enough to transform (instead of being ripped in half on the spot), but is otherwise fine.  The forts tend to be kidna boring though... since -everything- stops on that certain time of the month while your were-dorfs just kinda mill around looking at each other after tearing up the furniture.  This is why I recommended a layered fort.  Your military can be entirely comprised of lycanthropes, and are kept isolated from your workforce.  You can use artifact equipment in their training rooms, or even wall the weapon rack in to protect it (will still count as barracks).

No I'm not.

I"ve always wanted to do a labyrinth, but I'm horrible at maze design. I suppose I could always embark on a minotaur lair, but I'd have to makeown the residing bull man to get anything meaningful done, and where's the Fun in that?

Also, is there a list of what kinds of werebeast you can get floating around somewhere? I've never seen anything even close to something like that, and forms that use nonexistant creatures like mammoths make me wonder what else is on the table with werebeast transformations.

I don't know how it all works, I just throw molten science at the wall and see what ignites.

Look up werebeasts on the wiki.

Fun werebeast fact: Weregila monsters (yes two words) have a randomly generated poison, similar to a demon or FB.
