Brushaxe slaughtered a bronze colossus (my first spotted in .40.x) and it rewarded them with a masterwork bronze statue of two forgotten beasts.

One year later, there was a FB who killed about 15 in the Web Incident.  Still waiting to see how much rage that's going to inspire in the dorfs.

oh wow my new embark is awesome geologically

not only i have magnetite and coal and volcano access on a 2x2 embark (thank you, volcanism variance) but i have marble at z-level -2 and only 11 levels deep what the serious fuck

i think i broke advanced worldgen

Also there are some heated rock errors. And I'm not sure I have water access, gotta check the caverns.

Seed?

I can give you the advanced worldgen parameters but how do I find the seed ?

[FallenAngel]

I can't seem to get my two-man squad to spar. They go to "individual combat drills" and demonstrations but never spar.
As a result, they've gained nearly no skill.
I think I'm doing something wrong.
Just noticed the commander had Macedwarf skill instead of Axedwarf; exchanging them for a random person might help.

If you load your game then
ESC -> Export local image -> (e)xport images

There will be a file with the worldgen parameters _including_ the randomly generated seeds used for your world.

Sparring only happens when both dwarves have sufficient fighting skill.

You need to let them a few months, even maybe a year, together before they make babies spar.

I remember 40d when you gave training orders to dwarves they started to spar immediately and all over the place, next to whatever they could in your dining room, and they also frequently killed themselves doing so. Either by one dwarf killing another, either by a dwarf falling in a cliff/volcano.

Dorfs can knock each other through solid walls while sparring.

Alllright, i just went to my local Jeweler workshop and turned a ordinary piece of chert stone into a cut stone. And i noticed that i could even cut ores and coal if i wanted....

...Since when is That an option to cut more than just jewels? O.o

I know it seems logical to be able to do that, and logically that stuff is less worth than a cut jewel.
But still, that option must be new...

If I recall correctly, this has been a feature since at least DF2012. Probably earlier.

Interesting... then again, i never really messed with the jeweler. *shrugs*

I may have found it:
16th May 2007: Toady One "messed around with stone/gem/metal raws"
29th October 2007: Dwarf Fortress version 0.27.169.32a was released
The changelog ("file_changes.txt") for this version also says: "Got rid of gem subtypes, folded gems into stone"

I guess that's it. So it has been a part of DF already for more then 7 years.

All 5 soldiers had become legendary. But they stand no chance against poisonous FBs. So I left the beast alone. I don't want to explore the cavern anyway.

The baroness's attributes screen said she had good patience. But she felt outraged when I didn't give her decent bedroom and dining room. Not even a king had that bad temper. So I stuffed her rooms with those expensive but useless bags.

Still no goblins this year.

[Iamblichos]

You... what, WHAT?



Most random observation of the dwarven year goes to...

+1 for killing those pests. I hate grey langurs, normal or big versions, it's full war if I see one.

That dude just stopped combat and threw some chit chat in the combat log for a moment, pretty normal.

"WHO CAN TAKE PLEASURE IN A PAVED ROAD WHEN DEATH IS ALL AROUND US I ASK YOU! WHO!?"

"Well, an axe lord probably."

"SHUT UP BOMREK NOBODY ASKED YOU!"

This made my day.  +1 to you.

Nope, I've been able to cut regular stones and ore since I started playing DF (0.34.xx)
