You can never be at war with your own civilization, but if the caravan got killed next year's caravan will be a lot smaller.  You will never get a new trade liason if yours gets killed however.

[Corinthius]

I see thanks! That's good to know. It's a good thing my trade liason escaped...

quick vagely related question if you play as a different race human for example can you go to war with either dwarves or humans?

[Quixim]

Okay, I've been foolindg around on adventurer mode and I can't do joint locks.

I can grab the throat, and then at the top it says "Strangle throat with whatever", and if I grab something with a hand, it tells me I can pinch, but I've never gotten the message saying I can lock or break a joint or anything. Is there something I'm missing? Do I have to grab, say, the upper body with the arm? Or maybe drop my weapon and shield in order to break limbs?

[silhouette]

depends on the thing your wrestling.
animals dont have joints unless you mod them in, or download a mod that mods them in.

Does food wear to nothingness from fire before it rots to nothingness?

Some of my military died in a fire, and their gear is guarded by flaming meat and fish.

Little question, were i to add [SHARP] to a stone, would it require a regen?

In the matgloss_stone_layer.txt file. Adding it to a stone in the matgloss_stone_mineral.txt file might work too. As to it requiring a regen, I don't think so, but you can easily test that out yourself if you're already embarked. Just add it to a stone you got in abundance and if making stone swords from it doesn't work, then there's your answer.

Speaking of regen, can I add stuff to item_ammo without doing so? I forgot to add my special bolts.

What does it mean when a dwarf "made a satisfying acquisition?"

I'm not sure, but I think that's when they buy something. I vaguely recall having seen that even in my forts, which I play with economy disabled, and I figure this might be when they get some new clothes from the stockpile, when their current ones are in a state of disrepair.

They've got hold of something new and shiny.

That happy thought is exactly why legendary clothiers are useful. New socks for the legendaries! MASTERWORK socks!

You cannot add new entries of any kind without regens.

Yes, if you mod the game correctly. You can never go to war with whatever your home civ is.

1. When you're posting on a forum, and not typing a text message on your cell, it is generally appreciated if you take the time to use proper punctuation and capitalization.

2. Depends on whether you mean officially declared war, about the modding of which I have no idea, or whether you're satisfied with a general (not formalized?) hostility, like the one exhibited by goblins towards your fortress in the unmodded game.

In short, if you want to get attacked by a civilization, then you should do the following: remove their [INTELLIGENT] tag and replace it with [CAN_CIV] and [CAN_LEARN]; the reasoning behind this is that an inability to communicate breeds hostility. I've modded my humans and elves that way, playing as dwarves, and it worked quite well.

If you want violence to really escalate, so you'll be besieged during your first summer, there's a couple things you need to do. Look for any [AMBUSHER], [SIEGER], [BABYSNATCHER], and [ITEM_THIEF] tags in your desired hostile entities, and get rid of them. I also removed [SKULKING] from my Kobolds' entry, but I'm not sure if that ever did anything in the first place. You should also set the variables on any [PROGRESS_TRIGGER] tags to 1.

The above changes are all done in the creature_standard and entity_default files.
