do dwarves move any slower when using the stairs?

Compared to falling? Yes.

You could mark the affected area(s) with stockpiles that don't accept anything, and nothing will grow. The only way, as far as I'm aware, to unmuddy floors is to construct a floor/wall over it and then remove it... problem being that this will also deface any masterwork engravings.

A plant has grown on a muddied engraved floor tile, destroying a masterwork engraving.

Oh, so that's what was meant by impertinent vegetation. I thought the previous poster mistyped something there, as I've never had plants grow on (masterfully) engraved floors.

If a dwarf happens to fall some 100 z-levels onto the same tile another dwarf is standing on, will they both die?

"Impertinent vegetarians"!
What?  I bet a lot of players don't bother with meat, with agriculture being so productive and automated (:

When a creature on a stairway falls unconscious, do they drop or remain on the stairway?

Also, do invaders that get injured in your fort heal?

Also, is there a way for invaders in your fort to gain skills/attributes?

I know magma wont leave the map when its on the border of the map, but what about water? I mean water originated from a aquifer.

Can axles/gear assemblies be submerged in water/magma? I guess for magma you would need magmaproof gear assemblies.

Possibly the most important question of all:


When can we expect to see the new version of dwarf fortress coming out?

Water will flow off the border of the map, both by on the surface and through fortifications carved in the map edge underground.  But be careful, if your map has an aquifer fortifications carved into the map edge underground can act as aquifers and source water forever.

Yes.  Gears and axles work underwater and in magma, although axles will burn and non magma safe gears will melt in magma.

Awwww, Since water flows out of the map, i will have to use magma. But last time i checked i coudn't make magmaproof axles. Oh boy.

Wait, does lava really not flow off the edge of the map like water?

Take a look at Snaketributes:

The map edge magma moat works because magma doesn't flow off the map edge.

Sparring tricks?

Any trick to have the soldiers spar most of the time and not go visit friends in my main meeting hall? There is a great distance between the two and this is annoying. Should I lock them in a barrack with food and booze?

You can either move the barracks closer to the meeting hall (or vice versa), or you can just remove the meeting hall altogether.They aren't neccesary.
