I kill elves for fun. With weapons. Not booze. Just giving them a tip so they can decide whether that's how they want to be.

Savage is fine, but I would go with good surroundings. Establish a base of elf-hunters in the middle of it and then hunt nearby elves from this base. That would be so evil.

You will have problems with elves anyway, and probably not only them, since you took Heavily Forested area (as far as I can see on the resized image, my browser doesn't work with photobucket). Heh. Trees multiply like rabbits. Even a sparsely forested area becomes a jungle in couple of years. This can make surface trading and building problematic. Also, some dwarves (including visitors) will eventually land upon the trees, and have problems with descending. Just a word of caution.

Actually, once I have enough dwarves for a fully functioning fort and economy I was planning to round up all migrants, form them into squads, and send them to siege nearby civs. Any who survive get to join the real military. By the by, should I be at all worried about a purple cloud that the game warned me about? Teleported me to where it entered the map and everything like it was a siege.

Yes.

Your mileage may vary based on your RNG. It could be somewhat harmless (inducing vomiting) or it could be actually terrifying (turning your dorfs into thralls).

Use a lab cat to check the cloud's properties. They love being helpful.

Cloud properties can be looked up with lua in dfhack, as well.

re: alcohol poisoning, it can actually be avoided if you simply don't assign a tavernkeeper or performers. Dwarves will go hang out there and drink normal amounts of booze. If you assign someone as tavernkeeper and/or entertainer they will literally force your dwarves to drink booze until they die.

The most dwarvenly way to go, lots of booze, stupid, unnecessary, probably a bug, completely avoidable with even a little bit of intelligence

This is hilarious.

I am starting afresh soon myself. Then I've got 12 days of modding to perform before my first fortress.

Just the tip. Strategically placed.

Stress is completely broken in 44.10, so use DFHack's remove-stress.

Meph's tileset is amazing. Be sure to use multilevel.

Well I'll be.... I have been avoiding 44.10 because of the stress "fun", didn't know about this DFHack anti-"fun" feature.  Thanks.

It shouldn't be as necessary soon. Toady says he's on the home stretch. He said about this time next week we should see a release, but I'd wager probably another week or two, maybe a month, in case of more bugs showing up.
