Looking up my old forts in legends, I found out that all Sieges are named. One of my forts was ended by 'The Siege of Pillows'. 54 Dwarves died.
At first it sounds like a pillow fight.
Then you remember dwarven beds are just logs cut open.

Wailing on dwarves with thick slabs of pine.

I would like to report an incredibly noob-maneuver.
I have recently noticed something that would have saved me alot of time...involved floors and walls and not knowing you can change their length and width without having to place them down. One. At. A. Time.

Make sure you know about doing shift-enter to choose materials for multi-tile constructions, too.  That's another one that's come up a lot in this thread.

Ah, yes, I remember finally figuring this one out...

And I didn't know that one.  Learn something new every day, after all.

I'm talking about the bronze colossus. It's supposed to be made entirely of bronze.
But really he's just a softie inside. They all are really. When megabeasts come to your fort you never welcome them inside and give them a hug, do you. You heartless bastards...

I remember when that feature didn't even exist!  Your joy at finding it is about on par with the communal joy here when it was added.

What did you do to get kidnappers making off with grizzly bears?

Only vaguely. Made of the same substance and put to the same use, but a bit like comparing a castle and a doublewide trailer.

Great, now they are gonna dress it in iron armour, give it a maul, and send it back leading a siege.

I fail to see how that is anything but AWESOME.

Uhh, I think it's what happens when you make animals semi intelligent, I couldn't tell you WHICH tag does it though(but if I had to guess, I would say CAN_LEARN.
I have a fort where kidnappers regularly make off with my Giant Ant Larva.

Maybe there's a child in the bear's stomach?

I found out that you can give people and presumably animals custom names and job-titles in adventure mode just like you can do for yourself.
