I recently began setting up a fort for succession but immediately had a black plague outbreak and 2 dwarves declared themselves apostles and immediately forgot how to mine. I spent a lot of time choosing the roles carefully and then setting up the dig/bedrooms/workshops/etc. before I unpaused and realized how much FUN happened within a minute of unpause. I decided to turn to gui/gm-editor on the dwarves but I can't figure out the guilding codes and where to look. Also I would personally like to stop the plague if possible (I don't know if it's under curse and/or something else, I changed castes and they will switch then immediately switch back)

Diseases can be disabled in the GUI (with the exception of rabies), and should be disabled by default in version 4h.

In regards to the castes. Some consider it a little cheaty.

When you're embarking and assigning starting skills to dwarves have therapist connect then sort by caste. If you get 2 apostles just cancel and re embark to get another random selection of dwarves. Apostles can't change class again they are dwarves of the cloth for life..

Id honestly just regen a world without disease. Itll wipe out even mature forts.

Meph, I personally like diseases in the game but just not the initial embark dwarves since there's no way to screen or isolate a dwarf initially before the damage is done. However, I was more wondering if there was some sort of guide or detail sheet that once in the gm-editor there was a way to change the dwarve's initial guilds/curses/etc. I don't really know what number to input into castes/curses/health and what they'll do. I looked through the raws but there doesn't seem to be similar settings for it.

Wait I thought apostels still do the work, they just don't learn. Which, admittedly, can be quite annoying at start (especially with miners/producers) but doesn't prevent them from picking you a new fortress.
