Well, it looks like it's time for a new Q&A thread for a new major build!

Thanks Toady!

lol why is the giant running away and yelling for help?

How do I claim a site for my own? No matter what I do, I just keep saying "I've forgotten my bold pronouncement...".

[locustgate]

Do you have to be right next to goblins in order to get babysnatchers, the diplomacy map only shows goblins if i'm 2 squares from a goblin fort.

I've received the message "No outpost liaison? How curious..." two years in a row instead of a liaison. I'm playing on a small world, but I don't think my dwarven civilization is extinct (I've received immigrants as normal). Is it now possible for liaisons to be waylaid prior to arrival on the map?

What does that new demon feature look like on the world map? Trying to generate a world with one, bit I don't know what it looks like exactly. Using Maydays tileset.

Haven't experienced that yet, but it should be possible now that the outpost liaison gets ambushed on the road or something. However the game should appoint a new one then...

If you're referring to Vaults, these seem to be located under the main Dark Fortress of the goblin civ, so they don't show up on the world map. At least from what I have seen so far.

As far as I can tell you just need to tell someone that you're claiming the site and then go murder the current leader. I've never gotten that message.

I got that with a dead dwarven civilization, and then one of the first caravan merchants was made Diplomat and subsequently Baron. It's possible that your civilization was overrun while you were playing, but then that should have interfered with migrants and caused some of your dwarves to be appointed as nobles. Check the (c)ivilization screen to see if there are any nobles left in the mountainhomes.

How the heck do I yield? I tried to start a barfight in a drink mound, but then when I grabbed someones hat and threw it, they all went lethal, but then I managed to get them down to no quarter, kept trying to yield but ended up getting beaten up to death.

^ lol.

FTFY. No Quarter means they will behave exactly as they did and ignore yielding and kill you.

Edit: the lol isn't meant to be insulting. Just appreciating the humor in a face palm moment which I hope you will as well.

Yeah it was a facepalm moment and I was like 'oh crap' when they went to lethal.

What are all of these new metals, like flickering metal, singing metal, clear blue metal, and frosty metal. What exactly are these metals? I found them in the arena object list while looking for adamantine and messing around

[locustgate]

Does mining 1 tree root causes the tree to collapse? I've got a couple of notices of something has collapse, but never really bothered to look at the trees, I'm usually mining near where I'm cutting trees down.

On an unrelated note how far can something jump.
