I don't know why I thought they couldn't it makes all the sense.

A bin in a cloth stockpile can hold exactly 300 pieces of cloth.

built a floor to the edge of the map, one above ground level -- and that wound up splitting invaders from wildlife. animals would only appear 'upstairs'.   didn't run that fort too long, but hey.
neat

Non-domesticated animals will lose one training level every three months. Also, eggs take exactly three months to hatch.

If they revert to wild-form while incubating the eggs, do the eggs not hatch?

Are you sure it's a true trio of sparring, not a pair bumping hitting someone else by mistake, as is quite common?

Also, if you ever figure out why poets/bards/dancers just randomly start butchering people/getting butchered, please don't fix it, I love never knowing when a dance party will turn into a slaughter.

They do hatch. I've had elk birds starve to death and their eggs still hatch. The only thing that eggs need is to be in a nest box.

I've seen it myself. Definitely three people sparring, though I'm not sure if was a melee or 2-vs-1.

This might be something new. It was not the result of one missing a charge and hitting a bystander, right?

No, I believe that has been a thing for some time, at least since .40.something. I have seen it sometimes with large squads, all three participants trading blows equally.

This reminds me of the time when one of a sparring trio decided to leave for a nap; two other participants immediately stopped fighting each other, followed the first one to bed and started hammering on his helmet with their weapons. That was in early .40 version if I remember correctly.

Child animals can't go wild. Their timer just counts down to zero and doesn't do anything. When they grow up they are given two months before they go wild.

Oh, sorry for the long delay.

Yes, they were all attacking each other, without any observable preference, they just attacked whoever was closest (and usually over exerted one guy that got between both others until he rolled away.)

It was a squad with just three axedwarves of adequate skill and training axes.

Apparently, dwarves can get alcohol tolerance.



He is properly drunk, as indicated by his temporary personality changes.

He had the same thought for eating a "pretty decent" meal.

The best way to demonstrate it to him is take a save of 40 year old fortress with 150 dwarves in it on a good sized embark with a volcano that just breached the circus and install it on his gaming rig and watch it bring his rig to its knees.

That is one of the most terrifying things I have ever seen in this game.

Maybe he is thinking "nothing in life is important anymore" because his kid or lover died or something. What are the rest of his thoughts?
