It can take a while, but cave adaptation is indeed curable.
For what purpose?
For not being too busy puking up their own guts when trying to fight a werebeast before it enters the fort?
That's one of multiple reasons why you always set up a long underground hallway as the only entrance to your fortress. Sure, it takes longer to haul things from outside, but you can also fill it with traps to handle the brunt (if not the entirety) of any sieges you get and kill any local wildlife foolish enough to wander in. You can even stick a ballista or two at the back end if you're expecting something with trapavoid or sieges too big for your trapline to handle, or if you just want to fire at randomly passing wildlife.
So, apparently I'm not going to get any sleep tonight, but it's okay, there's a lot going on in my fort.
A mass smoothing has begun, and 123 dwarfs completely inexperienced (well, to begin with anyways) are working away at it. I'm not sure whether they'll all get to Legendary+5 Engraver between this and the ensuing mass engraving; if not, I'll need to smooth and engrave some more.
I have thus far caught 6 male cave crocodiles and 1 female one. One of the males was gay according to Dwarf Therapist, so I ordered him slaughtered. However, this still does not solve the issue that the female seems to be laying no eggs whatsoever. They show up neither in my kitchen menu nor in my prepared meals (though I didn't look too hard through the latter). Would DT tell me if she couldn't lay eggs for some reason?
A giant toad, instead of wandering into my cage traps, jumped up 2 z-levels out of the water into a staircase and was killed by stonefall traps that I had intended for troglodytes. Guess I better wall up that staircase. I do, however, have a breeding pair of giant toads now.
I have picked out my future military and warrior-scholars. Remember that speardwarf I mentioned earlier? I looked at her in more detail, and apparently her dream is to make a great discovery; a dream she will no doubt fulfill. Also, I was surprised to find that she was married to another one of the dwarfs I had selected as a warrior-scholar! Their marriage should be having some very interesting development soon. I kind of wish they'd have kids, because apart from their atrocious disease resistance and healing rates they've got some pretty damned good stats.
The elves and the humans are at war again. The elf ambassador told me of an elf site conquered by the human civilization, and the human ambassador told me that the humans gave up trying to hold onto the site. The site had Seal in its name, so it must've been somewhere by the sea. Come to think of it, I'M by the sea. Sure, there ocean isn't in my 3x3 embark, but it would be if I'd gone for a bigger embark. You know, I hope that the humans never figure out that the metal arrows I buy from them get sold to the elves in the spring......
Oh, and I almost forgot: THE KIDS ARE FINALLY GROWING UP!
