So I was wondering if it was possible to add a sort of prepare/fire thing for ranged weapons. Mind you, I know that you already have this in a way, but I mean a specific value, like for melee weapons. For example, if someone were to implement a repeating crossbow, [RANGED_ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:1:1] instead of say [RANGED_ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:1:10] or something along those lines. It would really open up modding, I think.

Limegreen-ified that for you. I want to make some high-tech weapons like machineguns and lasers for a project I'm working on.

Once the magic system gets implemented (I'm aware that's still a while coming), will players creating their own magic-powered technology for their forts be a possibility?

1. Will animal people and randomly generated races eventually get detailed facial and physique descriptions like humans, dwarves, elves, goblins etc.
2. If not how will law enforcement track the physical descriptions of animal people criminals without being suspicious of every animal person they see?
3. Will magic that disguises what you look like be possible in some worlds?

I'm certain it's possible, if that's what you really wanted to know. Suggestions, on the other hand, belong in the suggestions forum section.

Do merchants notice/care if you try to sell them artifacts that belong to their civ? Do they recognise the diplomatic intent of offering them their artifacts for free (as opposed to free barrels of prepared meals for example which may well have a higher 'value')?

Once the justice system finds its way into adventure mode, will it be possible for your player character to start out as a prisoner?

If you've some idea of how that would work besides 'wait to be rescued', you should take it to the suggestions board. Think the current thinking is that, after imprisonment you'd retire then try to rescue yourself with a new adventurer (or now with a rescue squad too).

Guess what? Myth will have wall destroying explosions. This will make wizards pretty hard to imprison unless there's antimagic of some sort.

Probably possible if not intentful. You should be able to take over any historical person, and if their in prison, then them too.
EDIT:
And there is a planned goal to get captured and become imprisoned. So playing as a prisoner is planned. No reason not to start as one then.

Yes, but there doesn't seem to be a plan yet as to what you'd actually do after having been imprisoned. Which is why I suggested a Suggestion. Large scale prison sites, slaves with a fair amount of freedom to move around, gladiators, etc. There's a fair amount of fun stuff you could do besides 'wait in a cage'.

And yeah, accidentally starting as historical man-in-cage is hilariously planned.

Picking locks, deconstructing walls, jumping guards, fashioning tools/weapons, randomly being rescued, cooperating on a breakout, all sorts of things planned.

A dwarf is no one.

Prison chief (staring at hole in wall): So...what exactly happened?
Gremlin guard: He was locked in, his legs were chained and all he had on him was a pickaxe and bunch of lockpicks.
Prison chief: I see...
Gremlin guard: Before I knew it he was free. Jumped right over me then out the front gate where his mates were waiting.

[FantasticDorf]

It was probably the gremlins fault for pulling a lever to release all the mechanised chains/open the doors and its a cover story for the guilt.
