I was going to run a double fort with the elites living deeper and seperate. Started with 1 dwarf in the deeper section and was going to invite worthy migrants in through an airlock.  Now with over 150 zombies on the surface it looks like I'm doing a cavern hermit challenge.  Sooo many slabs in my mine shafts

Trying to start a treefarm to get a reliable wood source, but for some reason my kobolds refuse to plant any of the 80 acorns I've stockpiled. Does treefarming require any special labor beyond farming or woodcutting?

I've retitled everyone in my Dwarf Fort, so that whenever my Psychiatrist kills someone the Autocracy knows who to punish.



Dissidents die first, 'cause they don't support the glorious leaders! (They're put-off by tradition.)

Next are the Weak, as they don't work hard enough. (Mostly just physically weak or flimsy dwarves, though there's this one migrant in the caste that's missing both of his arms.)

Then the Toler caste, which are merely average.

The Encor caste are favored among the disposable castes, for their admiration of our ways. (The ideal citizen in PepperWalls is someone who will report the murder of their best friend, witness an "innocent" get hammered, and feel ecstatic about getting to attend therapy with the "pillar of society" that killed their friend.)

Finally, Nobles include both actual administration duties and magic-wielders, and do not get punished.

Probably black lung. Otherwise the usual answer is a warlock did it. :D

Warlocks, evil clouds/rain, black lung, warlocks, perhaps some of the new diseases, goblins who have taken a liking to stabbing in the chest, warlocks, a forgotten beast syndrome, or warlocks.

Quick Edit: Warlocks.

A new migrant walks onto the map, instantly enters a mood and charges to my forge. He then grabs my only bar of orichalcum that I've painstakingly created and kept safely deep inside my fortress and turns it into an armor stand.  At least my militia will be happy.

They are definitely worthy of caution.

Early in my current fort I had two males that I let roam to hunt vermin, while keeping the female and a few spawns pastured, thinking everything would be fine since my dwarves easily outnumbered them. Then a big migration wave came, including an obvious vampire who I quickly separated out, and I thought even less of them. That's when two bodies were found in their bedrooms one after the other, completely drained of blood. Knowing it couldn't have been the vampire, I noticed something interesting on the Pets list... Both Plump Helmet Men now had names.

Now I have a few other vermin hunters, and keep all of the Plumps pastured along with the female War Cragtooth Boars. They keep things in check, and definitely don't hesitate to gore any that start to get rowdy.

I have a vision.

A major river, falling roughly 8 Zs into a canyon, with a small feeder river canyon off that.  A glimmering obsidian castle (hoo-man style!) stradles the canyon, which is paneled in glass windows.  The feeder river dammed up, its canyon filled up.

I had a beautiful site in 4b, but oddly when I gen it in 4d it's always haunted and has another civ's city over it now.  I've found a similar site in 4d, but the river is almost 50 wide, and there's a third river waterfalling into the second - my FPS has already plummeted to ~30 before the first migration.  (If you have gen txt exported for similar, send it to me :) )

4e:

Out of the original 7, one is schizophrenic and another appears to be manic depressive. This ought to be interesting.

Also, I have cats at embark. Haven't seen those in 3 months of Playing this mod.

The new GUI makes it obvious that I've been playing with "easy" invaders. 120+ ambushers in Year 3 is easy? I guess I'm a wuss.

Damn, I love this mod.

At least you have cats. Maybe they can calm down your crazy dwarves. Or give them projectiles to throw in their inevitable psychoses.
