On topic, what's the difference between a mangled and a mutilated corpse?

Mutilated corpse means it got its parts cut of before death, mangled one got its parts pulped before death. For example: first one died after battle with axeman, the second one after battle with maceman.
See more in DF wiki article.

Why there's no kobolds in the "neighbours" list even if they're present in legends and seemingly not-extinct?

[pisskop]

They dont have visible sites.  Caves are like that even if dwarves occupy them.

They also shoud come, abiet more rarely than in previous versions

[Rusty_knight]

Is it possible to put creature (goblin soldier, for example) that was beaten unconscious by military into cage? I mean without some clever methods like dropping it into cage trap.

[pisskop]

Drop it onto a cage.  Or let it walk into it.  You can assign the cages and chains once captured, though.

[Bearskie]

Not sure if it'll work, but build a cage trap where it's lying unconcious?  That is, if your mechanics dont flee asap

Wouldn't it be "creature in construction site, construction suspended"?

What causes tears? I imagine walking around with broken bones might, and dwarf might cry after finishing their magnum opus, but I can't figure out an explanation for most of these crying dwarves. It's not just from pain, trauma or bliss, I've seen some physically and emotionally fine, with a history full of "interested" thoughts in their heads, but teary-eyed. Who keeps putting tears on their eyeballs?

  I don't know the specifics though.

Fear, terror, death for sure.

Perhaps eventually joy too.  Or being outcast/punished.

then I thought "oh crap. is he serious? is fort obesity an actual problem I have to watch out for? my dwarves have been eating lavish meals for years. I hope they aren't all going to drop dead from heart attacks"

In a previous version, dwarves near the fat limit would eat extra processing power as the game calculated the jittering between maximum and slightly below. Might have been fixed, might not.

Fat dwarves are good. They're better at absorbing blows, and last longer when starving.

Don't they bleed more, at least when burning?

I think so.  But I've only seen PCs in Adventure mode survive fire, so I don't know if it matters . . .

Is there a guaranteed way to get  sieges in DF2014? It seems I embark constantly on peacful locations.

I think you can see tears of joy in adventure mode, specifically when you return an abducted child to its parents.  At least some prerelease dev logs from Toady implied that; I've never played adventure mode enough to know.

Either way, I'm guessing that tears of joy don't happen in fort mode yet.

Is that enough to be sure to get sieges? :/
