Elves tend to have alot of "accidents" as they don't have armed guards. Though I doubt it would matter, Elven champs are a joke... wood armor and weapons... Hahahahaha...

[Samuel]

How do I safely move all my captured goblins into one cage? If I assign them all to one, the dwarf flees after letting the goblin out, and if I post my squad there for safety, they kill the goblin immediately.

[FuzzyZergling]

Theives and the like will always try to escape, but building the cages next to each other may help.

There is suddenly a battle ax and shield on my artifacts screen, listed in blue, that I know I did not make. Are these from outsiders who died on the map?

[FuzzyZergling]

What are they made of?
If they are made of

I believe those are items your soldiers have named.

Go [v]iew them in game - I often get this, and it turns out to be "military tactics" (or possibly some other skill not listed in DT)

No.

They are ordinary things somebody who lives on your map has named. If your dwarves did it you got an announcement like "so-and-so has become attached to a battle axe." So-and-so named it and now it appears with your other famous things on the (l)egendary stuff list.

It could also be animal-men. Once I had a particularly hardcore serpentman civ living in my caverns. In the process of slaying multiple forgotten beats a blowgun and wooden shield got named. Both appeared on my (l)egendary stuff list in blue.

My military dwarves continually have a "...was enraged by a long patrol duty." thought constantly. Even thou I rotate them to the civilian duties every second month via scheduling. What do dwarves consider "a long patrol duty" then exactly? 

[Corew]

ok i got a message (dark brown color):
"there is nothing to catch in the central swamps"

It happened in the 8th Early summer, now is 21 and nothing more happened afaik. Do i have a evil lurker around?  Ok ok I have 4 forgotten beasts in the caverns, around 20 or 30 captured goblins... but dont know what are these brown messages around. Perhaps is the baron, now a count ... and still asking for more titles... a duchy or somewhat?

Aso... i have 2 cougars for 3 years, (yes roaming free, 1 of them male the other female), but seem hes not interested in having kids... Do they need 20 years to do the work?

Those reports are coming from your fisherdwarves.


What's a good way to find volcanoes while looking for an embark site?

[Uzu Bash]

Look at the map in Legends, with civs turns off to get a good view of the regions. Volcanoes show right up, give you a good idea where to scan in embark mode.

Why do my squad leader's jobs keep deactivating? I know I haven't turned them off in either in-engine or with Therapist, especially not 'Recover Wounded' or 'Burial'. Yet sometimes I see them off their training months wandering with No Job and all jobs disabled.

[Corew]

Once i had a squad with 10 various legendary (carpenter, masons...) craftdwarves, then i trained ALL till they got legendary - axelords... and they eliminated all his jobs. They dont work anymore... very funny no one did nothing at all

[Uzu Bash]

I've got other legendary soldiers who don't lose all their jobs. Sometimes I take off some of their other duties or heavy lifting, but they haven't all be cleared. But the commander and captains, every time they come off duty I have to remember to re-enable their civilian jobs.
