How do you assign a wheelbarrow to a stockpile? Must you manually do it, or will a wheelbarrow automatically be assigned when changing a stockpile's max wheelbarrow value to 1 or above?

It's automatic.

You don't need to assign a wheelbarrow, but it might be a good idea to make sure that you have one (or more) which are not already reserved.

Are metal animal traps built by trappers, blacksmiths, or metal crafters? 

Besides them and mechanics, are there any other metal products that are not built by metalsmiths?

[LordBaal]

On the posterior point. I have rejected the liaison thing about a ten times in the past and they just keep asking. Of course that was with an old version of the game, not sure if this is still on effect.

how do i make things easier by removing the need of wheelbarows?

Why has the liason not asked for me to promote a baron yet?  I'm at a population of 150 and have plenty of wealth.

Aristocrats are appointed by the monarch. Sometimes the monarch dies during worldgen...

My civ has a queen, Datan something or other. She's a marksdwarf, which is pretty awesome.

Any other ideas?

What's up with the migrants? Some of them, Traders or Peasants usually, turn up at the map edge as part of a normal migrant wave, but they aren't citizens, just friendlies. Why?

[Garath]

it's a known bug, called the trader bug. I've read that dfhack has a fix but I havn't tried it and my version of hack doesn't have it.

Whatever you do, don't tell your militia to kill them thought. They make great ambush spotters anyway.

These are migrants who previously visited your fort as part of a caravan and thus still have their "merchant" flag set.  This prevents them from becoming members of your fortress.  DFHack "tweak fix-migrant" will make them into normal migrants.  They typically make good brokers.

Good, I was starting to worry they are some kind of night creature.

BTW, ordinary migrants coming with 'Getting used to tragedy', 'Is a hardened individual' or even 'Doesn't really care about anything anymore'- is it a new thing? I thought that's specific to the Kingsguard...

Migrants come with histories now, and if their history includes a lot of combat then they'll probably have some value on this attribute.  I had a migrant a while back that had killed over one hundred badgers before migrating to my fort.  I wonder what her story was.

That's the funny part, they do have military skills but kills aren't shown in their profile. Maybe the worldgen settings (not reveal history) has to do something with that...

[Garath]

military skills could also mean a town guard in a keep, seeing no combat except on friday night after happy hour, when killing isn't supposed to happen. In my experience, the only ones who always have animals on their kill lists are rangers/hunters, the rest is up to chance

So... my current fort just lost all but one dwarven child due to a siege, and subsequent dehydratings/going mad/etc. (Said dwarven child may have been saved due to the small blip in happiness given when he slaughtered another berserking dwarven child by smashing his fist through his brain. At age two. But I digress.)

Now though I've had my first migrant wave come in, and get settled in enough that they no longer have the flashing "X" over them. But my nobles screen remains blank, with no ability to appoint anyone (which means I can't form a militia to get rid of the last few stragglers that keep interrupting jobs, for instance.)

Will the noble ranks/ability to appoint them eventually come back for whatever reason, or am I pretty much doomed to scrub the fort and start anew?

E: Nevermind, seems to be a bug as reported in Mantis. Ugh. Guess it's time to abandon.
