Are social skills on migrants back? before it was an indicator of possible vampires. If that still is, I got three in a wave of three.

Yeah, they're back (either that or every one of my migrants is a vampire!)    Believe it's mainly due to the historical nature of migrants, now.

What does it means, if my dwarf changes lighter and darker color of himself (such as: my mason blinks white and light grey)?

It means they are legendary in at least one skill. In the case of your mason this will be masonry.

why my military sometime switch to civilian on and off for a few seconds? Yes the squad is on active/training... Is it a kind of bug because of a latency, or they just finished a drill ?

Catten Semorilral has become a Ranger.
Doren Tadmistˆm has become a Gem Setter.
Asmel Melbilnimak has become a Clerk.
Asmel Melbilnimak has become a Macedwarf.
Limul Amostesdor has become a Marksdwarf.
Catten Semorilral has become a Marksdwarf.
Doren Tadmistˆm has become a Speardwarf.

See Asmel, for 0.2 secs he reverted to clerk then back to Macedwarf?

Whenever I've noticed this happening in my games, it's always at the end/beginning of a month - I assume it's just the schedule being flicked onto the next month.

That it is. been around for a while now. Has no effect except for creating a possible bad thought

Do necromancer towers show up in the legends map?

[FrisianDude]

Magma crabs. How does one deal with this perpetual nuisance? I'm thinking of simply flooring over the volcano, leaving only enough bits open for my smelting and smithing.

If you advance the year till after they're built, then yes.

Is higher elevation increase or decrease range of fire? For examle: Dwarf No.1 is staying on the ground, No.2 is staying on the top of 5 levels high tower and No.3 is staying on the top of 100 levels high tower. Which one shoot farthest? And what about accuaracy and range of see?

[Garath]

range decreases wih elevation, vision too probably. It seems to be like a sphere around the dwarf of say 20 tiles. The one 100 tiles up doesn't even see the ground.

Thanks for answer.

I have over 150 dwarves now.  Do I really need to dig out a room for each dwarf?  If so, is there a more intuitive way of doing this instead of painstakingly designating each room?

[Garath]

It makes them happy to have their own rooms, but you can use dormitories instead. (q) over the bed, (r) to a size that includes all the beds you want to include and then (d) to set dormitory to yes.

By the way, you havn't been assigning each room manually right?

I just make 2x2 holes, put in a bed, 2 cabinets and a coffer, put a door in place and set it as bed room, let the dwarfs figure it out themself. currently I'm trying 1x4 rooms and manage to set 48 per bedroom level. Married couples share a bedroom, so for 170 dwarves you probably need 120 bedrooms. Easily done. Which is why I set my pop cap at 80.

Thanks for the advice.  And yeah, I've been assigning rooms manually   Why is that option even there if it's unnecessary?  Also, how do you set your population cap?
