Move him out of that room fast, a picture of anything the dwarf dislikes lowers the perceived value like mad.

Would putting a statue in front of the engraving work? If I recall correctly, walls directly behind a statue aren't counted towards room value because they're not visible.

Alternatively, if you have the space to do so just mine out that picture, then smooth over the new space. I would check the engraver's relationship to your mayor tho. IME if an engraver has a grudge against someone and is told to engrave their room chances are there'll be at least one engraving of that dwarf being traumatized. You may want to go with another engraver if thats the case.

If it's not a masterwork engraving, just dig it away and build a gold wall in its place.  Problem solved.  Heck, even if it is masterwork, a good engraver has enough that it shouldn't flip his wig too hard.

An orc siege showed up. I immediately checked to see if there were any ranged orcs, since they're 50x easier to deal with in the trees. Spotting an orc bowman leading one squad, I dispatch some swordsdwarves to take care of his squad. A few minutes later, I get spammed with "Urist McChampion has died". Turns out they don't all spawn at once, two squads of boworcs had come from the same side and were cutting through my multi-legendary dwarves in masterwork steel. That's a double facepalm, not waiting for the entire army to spawn and using hammerdwarves instead of swords, axes, or spears.

When trying to dam a waterfall, 2 of my 3 miners went right over it for no apparent reason.

Down 39 z-levels.

Yeah. That really is an awesome site.

Gold's a good generic material, but it's better to check the material preferenes of the dwarf that will be occupying the romm, then use one of the metals he likes.

I dispatched my entire army after an "all melee" siege and it ended up the REST of the army were bowgoblins.

They cut down 2/3 the army before they were reached and fled because they had no arrows.

Excavating, without a single dwarf bursting into flames, a 15 z-level magma pipe to make it perfectly circular by channelling and supporting levels by supports for safe, remote lever collapsing. I decided not to fit doors where the magma chamber connects to the rest of the fort as everyone is nicely out of the way. Chortling, I pulled the lever and watched with horror as every dwarf bar one walks chooses that moment in time to walk past the entrance on their way to a party and choking with the dust, are sent to the bottom of the pipe to be covered by a magma spurt.

The remaining dwarf is blind and has no legs.

Rollback time methinks.

[Sutremaine]

No offence, but that is hilarious. How many dwarves did you have?

Went the last immigration wave came in, I make the peasants swordsdwarves. They begin wrestling while I make swords for them. They all become wrestlers and they go to grab their swords. FOR SOME REASON, they still wrestle. One of them became a champion, he's a LEGENDARY WRESTLER. FUCK.

[Elvang]

Wrestling increases faster than any other combat skill for a variety of reasons; it goes up for dodge rolls, the higher it is the more often a dwarf makes a successful dodge roll (robbing you of a shield/armor roll), if they are engaged in a grapple they will use wrestling, and military dwarves have an annoying tendency to steal each others' equipment and refuse to let go until you explicitly tell them to drop everything (resulting in them attacking with wrestling rather than a weapon skill). There was an in depth post somewhere on the forums about it but I can't seem to find it...

EDIT: Woot, thread hit 1000 posts.

You can still change their weapons by the Military screen, can't you? (I may be wrong here)

[assimilateur]

You can. Legendary status doesn't override weapon choices, it only does so when a legendary soldier picks up an artifact weapon, as they will refuse to let go of it.

[dephelis]

39 as I set my population cap to 40 so I could just build without having to worry about managing the normal horde I get after a couple of years.

Second time round the doors did the trick.

Yeah, I can. Most of them are elite wrestlers and they were changing their own weapon preference to unarmed.
