Does this mean I should equip all of my military dwarves with the cheapest/lightest shield I can make? A featherwood shield, for instance, is better than a steel shield?

it seems so, though further testing is required.

[Haruspex_Pariah]

I guess we should enjoy it while it lasts. If shield damage is included, armor and weapon damage can't be far behind.

light yes, cheap no. Shield quality still seems to affect block chance. Btw, featherwood is rather then leather.

I've gotten an artifact featherwood shield. once.
epic.

what happens if i change the [MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE] tag into say [MULTIPLE_LITTER_COMMON].
and what happens if i remove the tag all together?

[TolyK]

without it you'll get lots of triplets/quadruplets/who knows what.
the [..._commom] tag will be called an error (and ignored, well same effect)

For the first one, you get an error. For both cases, the creature now make twins/triplets more often.

Is there any way to see the seeds that was used for generating of the existing world?

play the game in legend mode, press 'p' to export and there'd be one with world gen params.

Without the [MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE] tag, creatures give birth to 1-3 children every time they give birth.  [MULTIPLE_LITTER_COMMON] is not a valid tag and will result in error messages being reported in your error log file.

There is also the [LITTERSIZE:x:y] tag if you want to manually change how many children a creature gives birth to.  There is no creature in the default raws that uses it, but it seems to still be a valid tag.

Is there a way to make soap blocks, or are they stuck as soap bars?

[agatharchides]

IIRC, blocks and bars are the same thing.

 Does anyone know is sewing a leather image counts as a leather item for mandate purposes?

They are stuck as bars, you cannot make soap blocks.

I dug out a one tile wide tunnel one z level below the surface. Later on, I decided that  I had to remove the floor directly above the tunnel. I tried channeling but it won't let me channel and remove the floor. How can I channel the area when the "wall" below the tunnel I want to channel is already mined out?

edit: the problem was that I already built a lifting bridge over that area. Apparently you can't modify a square that a bridge covers even if the bridge is raised.

Has anyone ever actually seen a goblin or troll drown? I have a few swimming around in an indoor moat, and they've been going strong for a while now.
