Huh, that's weird. Thanks for reporting back, though - sorry to hear that. I'd probably have trouble loading a save that large, though. If you can narrow down a cause in vanilla DF, it would be good to report it on Mantis.

heres the save so you can try, my comp has 4 gb of total ram and df only gets up to about 2.5 so as long as you have that much it should be fine

but yeah, im pretty sure its just the size of the embark thats causing the crash since i started a smaller (4x4) embark the other day and it hasnt crashed once with dfhack

Are you using 32 or 64-bit DF?

Oh never mind i think i did the right thing, trapping that taffer inside that box...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Now i have a wereopossum-dorf in a box.

For some reason now his wounds and his thirst fully recovered.

Every time a werecreature transforms, it heals all wounds (including thirst and hunger.) As for what to do with it, I sometimes make an arena and dump prisoners in there to have fun. Another time I timed the transformation, and threw Dwarves in with him to make it a werebeast fortress.

Thanks for the reply and idea!!

Just got a noble mayor who wanted three freaking metal greaves so i freed the were-dorf in the box and cobbled the noble and the were-dorf in dorf form in the mayor's room and trapped them in and started to wait for the unfortunate fun happen. 

Now i have a role the the were-opossum-dorf.

Made my first evil embark yesterday. I picked a sinister woodland, one of the easier kinds of evil biomes. There weren't any evil rains. In fact, there wasn't any freakish weather at all. I thought my dwarves would get to live long, happy lives until the zombies came. One of my fish cleaners, who happened to be outside, got attacked and torn to pieces by a raven ash zombie. Once the fish cleaner reanimated, I realized that I had to dispatch my one military hammerdwarf. The hammerdwarf got torn apart instantly. The ravens killed more and more dwarves, and I quickly had a massive zombie problem. I think one of the zombies managed to kill 10 dwarves on its own. Needless to say, everyone died.

Zombie ravens can take on the HFS, and win.

Zombie ravens are bad news.

The raven attack happened when I had about 20 dwarves. What would I have needed to take on those flying hellspawn? Was I basically screwed?

My fort is over 90 z levels above the ground level.

There have been many kea caused accidents. Recently a scribe(or scribe bits) was found dead. Along with the corpse there was a cherry wood cup and a pool of guava wine. I wonder how he dropped all the way down there while drinking. Anyway, Urist, build more coffins.

Another problem is the fort suffers food shortage, which never happened before. So the dorfs dug all the way down to the caverns, built a well and poured water over the sky fort's floors to create mud.
Hopefully they will have enough food next year.

my current fort runs well.
it's the year 7 and we embarked at the brooks source, where we startet creating our plateau by lowering the area around the source.
we then created a drain at the border and dug a water moat (that moat is still under construction).
we survived 2 goblin attacks: 7 and 34 goblins and an Ettin attack, who ran into the cagetraps after killing 5 dwarves.
The King has decided to reside in our halls and i got no idea how i can satisfy his needs for all royal rooms.
the brook freezes durign winter and i just dug out a cistern to be filled with water from the brook sometime soon.

A visiting performance troupe just cleaned the map of undead wildlife by beating the zombies to pulp with books of poetry. It was glorious.

I'm hiring these guys as soon as they make their petitions.

EDIT: Scratch that, the next spawn of undead proved to be a bit too much for them... ah well.

In Dwarf Fortress, there is only death. There may be good luck or bad luck, but in Armok's name DF doesn't give a damn about that crap as your dwarves start dying.
