Apparently, although beardies can wear both chain coifs and plate helms, both chain shirts and breastplates, triple-wield battleaxes, etc., they cannot wear both chain leggings and greaves. Because I have been trying to get Urist McStubbornAxedwarf to put on both pairs of pants for nearly an hour.

If you want to know what they can and can't wear, I'm fairly certain the Object Testing Arena can help - just go in there, throw all the items you want to test onto a dwarf, then spawn them. Any items that immediately appear on the ground instead of equipped can't be worn with everything else they have on. ^_^

You're correct, though - dwarves can't wear both chain leggings and greaves.

The really strange part is that they DID wear both in all of my .21-.23 forts... ???

That IS strange- according to the wiki leggings and greaves are both shaped items. Each body part can only support one shaped item- you also cannot wear leather armor and a breastplate at the same time. Or two breastplates, for that matter.
Yeah, they always wore both in my pre-.25 forts, so I assumed it was normal.  :o

A child of mine just got stolen, right under from my entire settlement's noses!
Sneaky bastards.

You're angry about a child being stolen? Why, exactly?

If I've named a dwarf after myself I always get annoyed when my descendants get kidnapped.

Anyway, my new fort is no more. The giant badgers returned and killed six more dwarves, and left two crippled and in comas. The several survivors decided to sneak away in the night and let nature take its course with the vegetables.

Because they start at peasants (or growers), not high master animal caretakers or cheese makers or other shit professions.

Getting 5 fisherdwarf migrants on a desert embark is frustrating enough.

A Forgotten Beast just tangled with the local batmen. It got 3 of them but then some sort of poison, presumably on the blowdarts seems to have kicked in or one of the spears got a lucky hit since now it is sitting there helplessly as the last 2 pound on it with their spears. They are Spearmasters now and it is oozing blood and generally looks to be in pretty bad shape.

Growledsteels has become a barony! Boy, I sure am glad I bothered saving that outpost liason now...

In other news, my trader was struck down when he rather foolishly decided to run out the outer airlock bridge when I opened it for the merchants, straight into the arms of some typically stabby Sand Raiders.

Wait, what are you doing, hammerdwarves? NO, BAD BEARDIES. Don't spar with the bloody masterwork void crystal mauls.

I dug too deep.

Considering I've had this off-and-on courtship ritual with Dwarf Fortress for a few years now, it's somewhat of a shock to realize that our relationship has finally moved to the next level.  Before there were dates, sure, and maybe some heavy petting now and then.  Nothing like this, though 8)

It's interesting to note that even though I've managed to take out 40 pages enemies with only a handful of military deaths, from the moment I got a sweet tooth my dwarves lasted just under two months.  Gonna need to work on that, heh.  Anway.  Time to head back in adventure mode!

3 crashes in a row on a 2.5yo fort that has never had any issues... At least I've got a save that hopefully isn't corrupted.

I decided to watch my fort crumble completely before rolling an adventurer.  This is taking a while.  We're down to an amazingly uninjured horse foal who's watching a small horde of demons destroy the noble quarter, a gander that is injured from falling unconscious on a trap but who has otherwise been unmolested by the demons and my mayor.  He's mayor because nobody else is around to tell him he can't be.  He's unconscious, and has been for the last two weeks at least, and almost every main body part is broken.  It seems that in lieu of killing him a vomit demon was punching him (with its wings) and is now strangling him (with its wings?).  Which is taking a while.  Actually, it might just be waterboarding him for all I know.  Pretty sure I'm gonna need to wait around for the rest of the demons to finish breaking all my stuff before they wander up to put him out of his misery.

I dug a pathway to raw adamantine.
Hooray!
The bad news?
My dwarves met the clowns and they laughed to death.

Void crystal? What mod are you using?

As it turns out, the pen was in fact a poor choice for melee combat in comparison to the sword.

The outpost of Blockfences is running low on food and booze, just in time though.
Because some dwarfs have just finished the farm and still, so the self sufficiency has started.
