Checked the Justice records.  Turns out CraftRiddle did, in fact, blame a Echidna for a crime.   

Feel kind of bad about that.   

[Schmaven]

What was the crime?

[xordae]

A drunken off-duty military dorf got brawly and punched several people, including the king. To death. RIP. I had him do martial practice so he wouldn't fall victim to goblins, but a legendary puncher was a tall order.

What was the crime?

Seems to be charge of Disorderly Conduct.  A Soap Maker was attacked and it looks like two witnesses blamed a Woodcrafter (One of the witnesses being the Sheriff "Tin Star") yet somehow a Echidna was convicted.   

Not even sure how that happened.  None of the witnesses say anything about a Echidna....

How close is the echidna to the woodcrafter on the name list? Is he fist on the list? Was he last when he was convicted?

These are all ways you can screw up DF when you get on the name-list a way you dd not expect...

What was the echidna's punishment?

Best artifact defense. A named female egglayer, on her nestbox, surrounded by display cases. She will see and witness the burgle and never move. Almost plotlike, with cave dragons on their hoards.

Can she identify the culprit?

[knutor]

Yes, if a named animal, no otherwise. I just need to forbid her eggs, so she sits there a very long time. Lock door, also. She'll see everything that happens, to give Capt of the Guard, a witness.

Ive had success with putting artifact displays in the back of the guard squad's training room, with the only exit going through the captain's office. The guards reporting the crime will run faster than the criminal in almost every case, giving you time to catch the culprit before they've made it far at all.

What's that Lassie? The visiting Olm Man has stolen the artifact? And Urist is stuck in the well!?

[Leonidas]

Wouldn't a chained named animal work just as well?

Without the artifact windows, the poor defenseless animal would just be a sitting duck.

^heh

[knutor]

DF wont allow chaining named pets, they dont appear in chain list. Boo. I imagine you could, yes, if it was chained while unnamed, and then adopted. Fuzzylogic. Like I can build a bookshelf FULL of paper outside, but try and build a stone throne or stone table, and Oooo, NOOO you dont. It needs a roof. But bookshelf doesnt? Headscratcher, DF is, sometimes.

Easier with nestbox. Some eggs take forever to hatch, maybe DF has a relationship between hatch time and egg sizes.  Reptile man(tame) sat for awhile, getting a named female is tricky.  Best guard is prolly female beak dog with a name, I imagine.

A necromancer siege came by before I had even half a dozen military dwarves with full equipment and skill above novice, so I spent a year and a half building 60+ cage traps.
I now have ~50 undead and two necromancers in cage traps. How can I "safely" work them into a training scheme without killing my entire military?

Also, a giant attacked at the end of the siege and my Talented axedwarf hacked it 29 times in the head with a steel axe. It wasn't even decapitated, but it didn't get to land a single blow in return.

[tonnot98]

I missed my 2nd and 3rd migrant waves, and my first dwarven caravan because of these blasted 4-zombie sieges. They keep sending elves clad in steel so they're a pain to deal with and don't walk into my cage traps fast enough.
