Okay.  So is lycanthrope spread if the bite shatters a nail, but doesnt seem to otherwise pierce skin?

I suppose Ill find out soon enough . . .

[Sisyphean]

They could be coming from your previous forts in the same world thus having some proficiency in skills you like.

well i was checking them out and it seems they belonged to the only other dwarf civ in the world before they migrated so perhaps any dwarf is elligable to migrate under some circumstances?

[Amperzand]

Given some... Unintentional !!science!! on the subject, the werebeast has to use a "Bite" attack to break skin for infection to occur. Biting and then shaking around using the teeth, while logical, does not cause infection, nor do "Bite" attacks that fail to penetrate the skin. If in doubt, quarantine anyway and wait for the next transformation date.

[pisskop]

mmm, thank ya.

It turns out that his broken nail did not cause weredeerism despite being the result of a bite.  I just wasnt sure if it counted.


now imgoing to have to mod in skinless or chitin-lined dwarves to test.

[Amperzand]

This sounds like a wonderful example of dorfy science, keep me posted as to the results.

I've currently always have "Clear Rain Snow" at the bottom left of my screen when it rains or snows and "Clear Snow" when it's clear.

I also have this issue.

The Dwarven Civilization in my world is extinct. Is there a way to predict who of my starting seven will be made king, or is the selection process random? I am under the impression that the Expedition leader will be promoted in this case.

A truly extinct civilization has no monarch, and, at least in my experience, won't promote one. A "struggling" civilization with no sites probably does have a monarch, and that title can indeed pass to one of your dwarves with little warning. Titles pass to relations first, then by some other means, possibly social skills.

Maybe it goes to the eldest?

Caged a Necromancer and when I read her description as being incredibly skinny I got wondering if I need to feed her to keep her alive?  I'm not ready to use her, not even close. I want to keep her alive and not sure if I pitted her with food if she'd get nice and plump  or if I left her in her cage she'd wither.

[Putnam]

Necromancers don't need food

What are scales good for in an unmodded game? The wiki's redirect seems to suggest they work like leather, but I've yet to see one getting used.

Trying to set up a GCS web cage trap area here - would like to ask, will dwarves intentionally avoid the other webbed traps when retrieving captured creatures, or will they just bundle in and get trapped? (I presume that webbed cage traps are triggered by my own dwarves as well)

Selling to traders, necromancy(?), flinging at things.

They work like untanned hides, not leather.
