Two thousand dorfbucks is a lot of money, too. It usually takes an artifact on a pedestal.

I noticed you get a little more value if you designate a meeting hall through the zones mode, rather than building from a piece of furniture. I tried making a guild hall from a statue garden built from a masterwork marble statue, and the statue's value wasn't added to the guild hall.

Build a 3x3 room and place a statue in it. Use the statue to designate a temple - the location's value will be 1 dorfbuck.

Zones are a better choice if you want to be efficient. Pedestals with some junk on them work too. Most of my guildhalls end up with human armor in them...

Yeah, that's actually a bug, a set of bugs, even...

I've been decorating my furniture to get it to fill the requirements. Artifacts feel so hacky.

My neighbours the human civ have two people appointed as master of the beasts. One is a ranger (as you might expect) the other is apparently a "goblin hunter". Cool, never seen that profession before.

Dwarves going stark raving mad will rip off their sutures as well as their clothes while running around babbling. I did wonder about those sudden spatters of blood on the floor when this happened earlier...

Could it have been a hunter that was a goblin?

Damn, that would be disappointing. :)
There are a lot of goblins in that civ, so that's probably it.

Yeah, that was it. Rather boringly not a "goblin hunter". Just your average master of the beasts, baron goblin. Morning-star throwing champion, ex-high doctor (convicted of embezzlment), currently corrupting his ex-wife (resident of a goblin dark fortress) to infiltrate the kingdom and prepare a coup.

Despite being immortal, turns out intelligent undead can read slabs and become necromancers. I did it in adventure mode and was able to raise zombies and use my intdead powers. Retired him in my fort and am going to try it out in fort mode.

At my boyfriends insistence, instead of just executing the plump helmet men by firing squad like normal, i modded the raws to make them trainable, to try and (briefly) integrate them into the population. Some fighting when they reverted back to wild dissuaded me that this was wise.

Trivial finding: Intelligent, trainable creatures can nonetheless be slaughtered.

I mean, vampires can so this isn't that surprising. Still good to know.

As opposed to my previous assumption, shield (and buckler) weight do scale with creatures size, meaning a troll's shield is nigh-unwieldable for a dwarf. That said, trolls do not make shields themselves, and goblin-sized shields don't seem any less effective when used by a troll.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

When a dwarf is throwing a tantrum, they have no needs in the thoughts screen. Never noticed that before. My haggard Captain of the Guard is due for retirement soon which is where I spotted it. Her tantrum is over and the needs have returned (she's quite focussed).

Her thoughts conclude "She is getting used to tragedy". Don't think I've noticed that before either.
