I noticed a bed can hold more than one dwarves.
I saw in 40.13 a mother and her child(not baby) sharing a bed.

Or perhaps it was a baby who happened to become a child at that time?

Kids without their own rooms will bunk with their parents. Dunno if they prefer to sleep in a dormitory or not since I rarely have one, or if it's a matter of convenience, or what.

[utunnels]

Yeah, they do.
But I thought a dorf would always find an empty bed to sleep in, even if they shared room with another.

Spouses and children will all share a single bed.  Children prefer their own rooms though. Given half the chance, they will claim an empty bedroom and sleep there instead.

I just got a titan that lives in an evil biome.  It has a few differences from regular titans.  For one, instead of describing its demeanor, it says it "undulates rhythmically" the way it would for a forgotten beast or demon.  Second, it's associated with treachery, the way good-biome titans are identified with stuff like peace or charity (speak of the devil, I've got a hill titan in the Joyous Wilds biome I'm eyeing.  Hopefully I'll be able to not bother it.)  In a sense, it's presented almost like a FB that walks the surface.

Titans are just surface-dwelling forgotten beasts. Associations don't really mean anything here--it's basically just local superstition.

wait, there are good biome titans? Are they friendly? How can a titan be about peace and kindness while stomping your little Urists' faces in?

Smoke inhalation is a thing.

Must. Weaponize. Just think: A whole new type of trap is within our grasp.

I've doing this for a while, it's the main reason I bothered with carpenters pre-.40. Easiest method I've worked out:

Get a flammable artifact and have it dumped/placed at the bottom of a hole. One z-level above that, place a magma-safe floorhatch, link it to a lever with magma-safe mechanisms (Technically, is doesn't really have to be magma safe if there's little chance of it touching magma, but since you only get one shot to correctly build this it's better safe than sorry.). Above that, place a floorgrate, this should be the "groundlevel" that invaders find themselves dying in. Douse the artifact in magma, it is now on fire forever. The smoke from this trap is only dangerous for as long as the floorhatch is open, closing it clears the smoke and lets dwarves safely path through and collect loot as normal. (Make sure to only turn it on while enemies are already in the effect range, creatures refuse to path through smoke no matter how stupid/desperate they are.)

Peace and kindness through overwhelming power

Peace and kindness through overwhelming power superior firepower.

Ftfy.

It's not sentient. It doesn't realize that.

Meanwhile, Armok laughs his face off due to the irony.

I'm aware of the idiom, but it didn't seem directly applicable without alteration...

Fire-breath is the answer.

Well I notice human caravans sell picks, but they are twice as expensive as those from dwarven caravans.

I just got in a kid who had only a father.  Parthenogenesis: not just for women anymore!

Humans rate _all_ weapons at double price(x). Weapon exports promise quick profits when dealing with humans (but do you really want to arm the human civ?).

(x) weapons, not trap components.
