This is strange, as the dragon has the [liKES_FIGHTING] tag, as do the goblins, so they should immediately start killing each other.

So of all the things you can do in DF, it's the fractal artifacts that make you think dwarves are crazy.

Never mind the magma falls, the atom smashers, the cog-and-axle turing-complete computers, or the colonizing of Hell itself... all those are fine, but man, those recursive artifacts! Where do they get such ideas?

Yup. It is strange.

That is why I make all of my fighting pits by just 2x2 pits. Very tiny little pits.

This means that at all times, all creatures will be able to attack any other creature. Thus even if I drop in a goblin among a bunch of kittens, the kittens will still fight the goblin because they cannot flee from it.

I've experienced naturally strong creatures becoming weaker upon training. As weak as a war dog, in fact.
I am of the opinion that training is bugged, and simply makes whatever you train as strong as a war dog.

In order to improve the universe's frame rate, we must all throw rocks into volcanoes and then do absolutely nothing, worldwide, for a week, to take pressure off pathfinding.
or maybe throw them into the large hadron collider to atom-smash them instead.
Not to mention to throw all available animals into tiny pits.

I came across some more oddities with training creatures that aren't really meant to be. When I modded my dragon, I also modded some other creatures I had to be trainable too. I had a black bear and a grizzly bear curtesy of the elves, and found that after training them as war bears they both appeared to have injured lungs and hearts.

Undaunted, I chained one of them near an entrance, and was rewarded almost immediately with a siege. Unfortunately a goblin mace lord charged in and practically sent the poor bear into orbit with a single hit before I or the bear could blink. Perhaps not the fairest test for a bear with cardio-pulmonary disease.

I then tried chaining up the titan I had caught, after modding it for taming and training. I put him in a barracks room by a side entrance and he began sparring with the fortress guard! In no time he became a great armour user and shield user, as well as a master wrestler - despite carrying nothing except some blood and mud stains.
Unfortunately I had to unchain him as he became thirsty. He now roams the fortress, acting pretty much like a pet except he eats, drinks, and sleeps.

I think I've probably meddled with the raws quite enough.

Have you created an aggressive, er, Yogi Bear?
