A dwarf in fey mood demands gems. I want to keep the dorf, so I need to find some real quick. Is there any programme that could help me with it? I.e. by removing 'fog of earth' :)?

A herd of elephants just wandered by my fort and I found myself in dire need of war elephants. How do I tame animals? The 'tame large animal' option for the kennels doesn't seem to do anything.

So far I found that "train-war-animal" only trains stray dogs, no matter how many tame Wolves / Camels / X I have in stock (even if i have no free dogs). Bummer :( . I assume you used to be able to make a War-Anything if it was tame?

*EDIT* Sorry this is for 2010, missed other thread.

Train War Dog will turn any animal with the appropriate tag that is not caged and is tame into a War -foo-. Not all animals can become War Animals.

How about this: I have a miner & some other crits who developed 'novice planting' after harvesting from farm plots; I have NEVER tagged them for planting, so I don't understand how they do it anyway.

You get planting skill from harvesting, which is set to be done by all.

There is indeed, it is called "Reveal":

http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/40d:Utilities#Reveal

There you will find download links and instructions.

Alternatively, check out the stones section (for 40d) and see if you have layers of rock likely to contain gems, then do exploratory mining into those layers.

Edit: Kudos to Diablous for answering that other question within 35 seconds of it being asked.

It is by default set to have all dwarves harvest. Did you check the (o)rders screen?

The limit is set in the world parameters. The default is 1050 years, and it generally reaches that. Walk away for a while if your computer takes too long for your patience. It shouldn't take more than a minute to generate a world with a functional modern computer, but not everyone is that lucky.

World gen in 31.04 is taking a much longer than it's supposed to, probably as a result of the graphical merge; it's the sort of bug they were expecting.  It's been reported to Toady and it'll probably be fixed soon, if it isn't already.  I just let it run for a few minutes.  You could also gen a world with 31.03 then open it with 31.04 if you want, or change the world parameters The Architect mentioned.

can raised bridges be destroyed by "buildingdestroyer" creatures or do they act as like constructed walls?
