Is it know to what extent world-gen proceeds during play? For example, can deity curses be handed out, potentially bringing vampires/werebeasts back into a world where they had previously been eradicated?

Is it possible to melt frozen water, with/out magma?

Wiki says you can cave-in ice to make water.

Someone stated in a post elsewhere here that they were able to spit at people with their adventurer.

Is he full of shit or can you actually do that? It's not in dialogue, nor is it something you (f)ire or (t)hrow. I'm leaning towards BS.

Meanwhile, over in the adventure mode board...

Quick question, how do you spit on people?

It's in the x menu under natural abilities or something like that.  Same place where dragonbreath and stuff like that is accessed.

I didn't even think to check in the reactions table. Nice.

Why, even though I have a proper weapon and shield, do I mostly kick, punch, and bite people when I use the default attack? I've tried changing my combat settings to 'strike', 'close combat', etc. with no luck.

Odds are your weapon and shield are strapped to your back. Try pressing "q" to unsheath your weapon and shield. When you're walking around town be sure the put them away with the same key so NPCs don't freak out.

For my question, has anyone tried out any of the traps? I heard somewhere that they've been horribly nerfed but I haven't gotten around to verifying that for myself.

It's possible that your skill in striking/wrestling/kicking/biting is higher than your weapon skill. I had the same problem in the arena when I set dwarves to grandmaster everything. They didn't use their weapons much, sometimes not at all. Still managed to almost beat a dragon senseless with good enough equipment and luck, but that's not part of this discussion, is it? Heh...

Yep, it's also worth checking the bottom right of the screen. It should list your weapon. It's possible you dropped it or sheathed it by pressing q, as Lemunde said. (Easy to check in another way, press A (shift+a) and see if you have your weapon listed in ways to attack.)

Anyone know how to turn off Aquifers ?

Dwarf Fortress Starter pack is the easiest.

I am playing as an Outsider, and whenever I try to claim a place, instead of getting the group name screen, I just say "I have forgotten my bold pronouncement."

What gives?

I believe it's because you're a complete stranger. Try going out and killing megabeasts/doing quests, then apply. Don't forget to spread rumours about how cool you are and talk to people.
It might also be that outsiders can't have claims, but that's highly unlikely.

How many items can an armor/weapon stand hold?

press (x) when in adventure mode - spit an option is under natural abilities i think, should be the 3rd option down iirc.
Haven't tried it yet though.

Yeah its in natural abilities

Is it intentional or a bug that farm plots now show only the current season's crops, regardless of which season you're selecting crops for?

... and also hey do we know how/where to plant the new garden vegetables yet? I'm guessing above ground but I haven't been able to check that yet.

[samanato]

The farm-plots are supposed to be fixed by the next release.

What is the thrice damned point of bucklers?
