As far as I've seen visitors don't raid the clothing stores, even when they arrive nekkid (or overstay so long their clothes wear out completely). Once they become residents they upgrade, though.

Also, I haven't seen my own dorfs wear any of the artifact clothing produced unless forced via a uniform, so it's unlikely thieves would understand to wear them.

[LordBaal]

You don't have to understand how to wear something that's made of gold(or eagle tooth), just how much it is worth and how fast you can run with it.

[PatrikLundell]

If we're talking outright theft, then yes, five finger discounting is what matters, but if we're talking more or less accidental theft, such as replacement clothing or holding on to the tome read when due to leave the fortress, knowledge of the act of its basic usage is essential.

With the artifact release, will residents of small settlements and towns/forts without a library have somewhere to store books and slabs? Will they appear in the owners' house or on their person, or a mead hall/civic structures?

Right now I think they just get scattered out in animal pastures and farm fields, because I occasionally stumble on a book just laying on the ground.

Sounds like no one in that town has Reading skill, and the pictures weren't very entertaining

I find an oddly large number of books in sewers sometimes. Like it isn't consistent, but I've had a few different towns where I ended up crawling the whole sewer system collecting a backpack full of page upon page of awful smelling books.

Hahahah, either that or books are born out in the cabbage patch!

[Untrustedlife]

Oh, and if an adventurer loots an npc artifact and delivers it to a player fortress, are you likely to get irate invaders (or adventuring groups?!) specifically come looking for it while you're playing as that fortress?

-Urist?
-What Urist?
-Those fellows over there haven't touched their pint of beer since they arrived two months ago. They also asked lots of questions about the Golden Trousers of Urist Mcloving...
-Yeah?
-Yes. They also rented a single room for all of them.
-The five of them?
-Yes. They don't let the maid in to clean. And there's been weird digging noises near the vaults.
-Bah Urist you are too untrusted. They are fine lads...

Did someone say untrusted?

[LordBaal]

Isn't that the right word?
Edit: Crap, now I see. Google translate  gives me this four options: suspicious, mistrustful, distrustful and mistrusted.

[FantasticDorf]

Try 'untrusting' (as to say a lack of trust in a person)

Edit- Mmm, given the load of questions im not sure if all of them are going to be answered in one go. This thread has been really baptized by fire with greenies, one more day till the 31'st (and summary end of the month) and we'll see if between then we get a reply.

Can we expect at some point in the future to have the ability to control armies in a manner similar to medieval warfare, with strict formations and the like? I.E, PlayerMcGeneral or UristMcGeneral can tell a massive force to move into a phalanx or wedge.

That would correspond to tge army arc. So whenever that comes around. Currently the development is on artifacts and magic, maybe after that if Toady feels is the right move.

Formations were planned for a previous version, but got delayed in favour of getting the update out sooner.

We already have the Stand Kinda Near This Spot Formation.  Don't get greedy

And yet dorfs don't understand concepts like the "don't break formation even if your life depends on it" tactic. ;w;
