Yes, please give us Vikings and Ninjas and Knights.

Yes, but only if it doesnt take too much work.

Maybe better to only make one civ, as close to vanilla DF humans as possible.

No, I dont like it because it doesnt fit a procedually generated fantasy world.

No, I dont like it, because... (please post the reasons)

Merchant guild's first expansion is your goto building.
Even for dwarves, it have nothing to do with the archeology building, but in the trade storehouse.

By the way, humans to have an archeologist, it just means that you still  haven't upgraded every guilds, there are a lot of very neat things in there, and I'd recommand opening that big flowchart that Meph made for us.

That flowchart is really a superb way to present you the possibilities in a clear, concise way, and give you an idea of how to progress, depending on your goals.

Found a possible exploit. I know that humans aren't supposed to be able to work candy like the dwarves, and as such can't extract the strings; but what they can do is enable raw candy as non-economic, cut each boulder into 8 blocks, and make from those blocks 4 different weapons while only wasting about 50% of what I assume to be the important combat modifiers. (I checked with a calculator, most of the vanilla values are still way higher than steel.) Considering how many wafers it takes to make anything out of refined candy, making candy-block weapons/armor is absurdly OP by comparison and the raw material should probably be nerfed if it hasn't already. I suggest remaking it into a sort of supernaturally-light just-above-steel tier metal; that way it's still a viable super-weapon material, but doesn't overshadow refined candy.

Thank you guys for answers. I wanted to buff up my military on the start with boxes to save time on manual fitting the equiupment (i trying multiple sets of military on the start). Now i see that won't work (laziness is bad thing, i know and leads to early fun  ). Thanks a lot.

A stupid question: How to make cloth from fleece yarn? I've got some "fleece yarn" in my tanner, but my loom does not accept those.

[Meph]

Fleece makes 3 pieces of thread, not one. Its more efficient, and there should be a reaction in the tanner? If not, try the greater tannery from the guild

Thank you but the problem is not making thread. The tanner has a reaction "Comb a fleece", it runs automatically and I have some threads called "fleece yarn" now in the tanner. I believe they are threads because the stocks view in the 'z' menu says that. The loom has 4 weaving reaction for cotton, silk, yarn and metal but none of them accept the "fleece yarn"s. So my question is how to make cloth?

[slay_mithos]

Strange, I'm pretty sure "fleece yarn" threads are used for the "yarn" cloth.

[LMeire]

Does the Farmers' Workshop accept it for spinning?

Also IIRC, in vanilla some types of thread like horse-hair are too short/coarse and can't be woven into cloth, if that effect can carry over at all it'd be important to know what animal the fleece came from.

[lcy03406]

Thank you all. I've found the reason. There was a hospital zone over the tanner! When I was playing dwarves I never put the hospital or the tanner on the ground and they never overlapped. I didn't know the weaving will always fail despite the hospital is set to store no threads.

[slay_mithos]

Hospitals will overstock, and never give back, that's a vanilla thing.

I can't get the "fill barrel/pot with water (10)" to work. I have access to fresh water.

[slay_mithos]

you need to have your workshop directly next to the water

XXXw
XXXw
XXXw

X are your workshop
w is water, 1 z-level lower, with direct view.

Basically, build it next to a pont or a river.

About the poll: I wouldn't like it, because right now Warlocks are my preferred race and I would like to see them more refined first.

Question: can Seawolf society arms fire bullets made by humans in their workshops?

A citizen made a Seawolf society arms in a strange mood but I don't know if I can make ammunition for it in Human Mode. I haven't made the effort to make bullets and equip it somebody to find out firsthand, but it'd be great if somebody could let me know in advance.

Yep, should work
