do Siege Engineers not get artifacts when all of the other reasonable vanilla professions do?  Is it an oversight, and if not I'm curious as to the reasoning behind that decision?

Actually that isn't exactly true. A few other "reasonable" vanilla professions don't.

The issue is that other then Catapult Balls and Balistae Arrows they wouldn't be able to make anything all that worthwhile.

Making artifact constructs (or the ability to somehow cash in artifacts to make an artifact construct) needs to be worked on seperately.

Ok, question that is completely unrelated to the topic(s) currently under discussion, and likely not to be implemented in this release (unless it is an oversight and not deliberate).

I was quite irritated to find that tanning was a mood-able skill, means I can't just enable it on all my haulers or I'll end up with a legion of legendary tanners.

Not to be snide, but that kind of makes it better suited to Suggestions or a DF Talk question.

Such as? When I think about it, any profession that produces finished (non-consumable) goods with a quality modifier can get moods.

[Neonivek]

I am confused... That is a question, but the lines after it suggests that I no longer need to answer it.

[G-Flex]

But that's how a profession is defined as "reasonable" right now. I'm not sure what else you expect them to cover.

[Greiger]

For some reason all I can think of for an artifact seige engineer would be making is a weaponized roman candle.  That would be badass.  Horrible burn wounds and half the wilderness burning merrily, if you don't like that yer an elf.

Of course that could very well be outside the scope of DF...gunpowder and all.

My apologies.

Are kobolds like gremlins? (edit: As seen in the movies)

What movies were those?

The Gremlins movie. I think I saw it once a long while ago. Basically they wreak general havoc and chaos, like a malevolent evil type. Although I don't think they were neccesarily out to kill people, just make life miserable.

I think that Kobolds would eventually have their own flavours of mischief. A Kobold might prefer to set traps for your dwarfs or pets, once invaders can make buildings of course. From the little I can gather about the movie the Gremlins don't
sound as sneaky and tactful as I'd expect a Kobold to be.

Yeah, those. They are reptillomammalian mischief makers that are resoursefull and intelligent, while their speach is a pseudo-language. They also have a rudimentary society and they live in caves.
In the later movies they are a bit too protomorphic for my tastes, mutating and being all 40k orky tech savvy.
Toady did mention perverting gifts from the deep ones though.

[atomfullerene]

Hmm, if they are perverting the gifts they received from the (evil) deep ones, does that mean they are using them to spread sanity, sunshine, and happiness?

[Chronas]

nay, the Kobolds are the perverted ones

[Areyar]

lol
One of the gifts from the un-namable ones is said to be civilization, so in a sense: yeah.

Can we get a "percent chance" added to the [trAPAVOID] creature tag?

Would be good to be able to make intelligent critters better at avoiding traps without being completely immune to them.

[Protactinium]

Honestly, I'd like to see children Hammerers. Starts his training early, yanno?

Or perhaps a Child Hammerer position, for children by children.

On that note, have you made sure there are no bugs allowing children to be blamed for a failed mandate...?

Oooh. I like this one. Down with absolute tags!
