Especially since no less than 4 of my O7 decided to climb the SAME FREAKING TREE, and then fall out in the SAME FREAKING SPOT into the river 12 z-levels below.

Designating a meeting zone (or having a sculpture garden, or still having your wagon intact -- these implicitly create a meeting zone) seems to prevent dwarves from wandering atree while idle.

I'm not sure what happens if there's a tree in your meeting zone.  I carefully removed all the trees in the vicinity first, just to be safe.

My fort has been invaded by poor quality flowers.

It is terrifying.

[palu]

It was inevitable.

Holding back in DFVD for now. The stories are enough to keep me entertained

Has anybody added/confirm that [NOFEAR] tag on dwarves to see if they stop panicing at everything?
It looks like the starting 7 are hit hardest by the "discpline" feature, because they only get 10 embark points...

If NOFEAR still works, I may use it after upgrading, because I'd prefer the starting 7 to be "adventurers" and "entrepreneners" and not lucky cowards.

Now it isnt the dwarfs getting wiped out, it is everyone else that is now.

[ZzarkLinux]

Good to hear. I might make a reaction to give the dwarf [NOFEAR] as a stopgap measure until Toady balances the Discipline/Embarking a little more. Also, I won't need to mod animal-child sizes anymore either Looking forward to DF Inevitable

It might help to add [NATURAL_SKILL:DISCIPLINE:3] or similar to civilised races.

quick question: what does the discipline skill do?

[Scootagoose]

Anyone else start out with a monarch? Is that a new feature or bug?

[TheSaberTooth]

It might help to add [NATURAL_SKILL:DISCIPLINE:3] or similar to civilised races.

Or to all races, because everything that isn't a hunk of rock will run if they see death.

[ZzarkLinux]

Thanks for the NATURAL_SKILL suggestion. I guess that's better than using NOFEAR

quick question: what does the discipline skill do?

There are reports of military / invasions not working because "The Goblin sees the Dwarf. The Goblin collapses into a ball of fear" and "The Dwarf sees the mouse remains. The Dwarf cancels attacking, emotional trauma". You now require the discipline skill to successfully attack most things.

Anyone else start out with a monarch? Is that a new feature or bug?

Elsewhere it was mentioned, it might be succession/inheritance, or it might be a bug. How many dwarves are left in your civ? Are your starting seven the last-seven dwarves alive? This may be causing you to get a king / monarch / etc at embark.

I'm starting to change my worldgen habits so there's at least one dwarven civ alive for embark.  This proves challenging when the civ keeps dying off! 

[Melting Sky]

Can we mod tears to cause blindness and pain? I want to punish the dwarves who keep walking to the stockpile to cry about the kobold we killed.

You could, and you would then be the first person to lose a fort to a crying spiral.

[PotatoOverdose]

I rather like the trees and plethora of wood. For the first year or two most of my goods/constructions are made of wood. Far more realistic imo given how much easier it is to make most things out of wood as opposed to stone. Also, non-magma based smithing is so much easier now.

[Archereon]

Given how discipline works, perhaps we should attempt Dwarven child care (yet again) to try and get utterly fearless dorfs who aren't going to run away from absolutely everything that isn't part of the fort's population.
