Ok, I think I have a real problem now.

My last siege resulted in an orc who got stuck in midair. It's a known bug. The fortress doesn't see him, the 'k' menu doesn't show him, if you build a wall on him, he remains there. The problem is that the siege won't end. I'm a full 3 seasons on and the siege is still ongoing.

I may have to savescum back a year to before the siege. Any thoughts?

Drop him out of the sky with Dwarf Companion. I think theres a setting for "flying". One sec, lemme check.

EDIT: Yep, just fire up DC, find the orcs name, double click on it, and uncheck the box marked "flying" (second column from the right). Should fix it.

[Derakon]

Dwarf Companion naturally does not work on Macs. Looks like your options are either to savescum back a bit, or get someone to fix it for you.

[Firnagzen]

On a side note, if anyone DOES use DC on Morul, could you post his stats? As in, the numerical values? Just curious.

KDJFLSKDJFLSDK Forgot about the Mac bit....sorry...

[Martin]

Well, maybe I'll get Windows installed on here after all, then.

Any thoughts on how to find the orcs name? I have about 90 screens of dead orcs.

[Eagle]

If hes flying he shouldnt be dead, thus showing up as "invader" in the u screen, and on the "alive creatures only" setting of DC.

Fix'd.

He's too high up, but technically he is still in your fort's airspace.  Morul is going to have to use his legendary glassmaking skills to create a set of lenses for long-range optics, legendary siege engineering to make a ballista, and legendary blacksmithing to make a hollow adamantium ballista bolt filled with legendary 200-proof booze.  Have some peasant fire it at the orc, and let Morul ride the bolt up to the orc.  At about 20km altitude, Morul needs to ignite the booster (booze-ter?) and steer it up to the orc.  Morul then has the choice of steering the bolt into the orc and vaporizing him, or stepping off the bolt and manually de-orbiting the orc, and riding his flaming corpse down to earth like a heat-shield.

What happens when you drop a roof onto him?

[Martin]

What happens when you drop a roof onto him?

Nothing. You can see the orc on the screen, but it's as though the game can't otherwise see him. It's as though the unit forgot to be subtracted from the population but is no longer being tracked.

I decided to savescum. It was faster. Morul wound up a wee bit behind on skills from where he was, but otherwise nothing is different. No harm done.

[Sensei]

What kind of pathetic dwarf are you?

You should have built a vertical magma cannon to shoot him with.

[Derakon]

It would have done nothing.

Airborne units do not exist until they stop being airborne. You can't interact with them in any way. For goodness' sakes, man, he built a wall in the orc; what more do you want?

[Sensei]

To use dwarf companion and drop him into the jet of magma.

BTW, didn't someone make a mac companion somewhere? Or is that not up to date with 40d?

His strength really works against efficient skilling but Morul has achieved legendary macedwarf. While sparring, he wounds his partner quickly and sparring ends - even with lowest damage weapons. In battle, he sends his opponents flying, or winds up wrestling, but Morul can take on a 5 squad orc siege singlehandedly and now has 407 notable kills. Off to finish hammering.

Somebody made a mac version of Dwarf Foreman. 

In any case, Captain Mayday just posted Ironblood's stats, so somebody should get this save and DC to check Morul's
