Ive never tried the danger room idea and im looking for advice on how to get started. Should I just make a room and send the military in or do I setup some traps in a highly used corridor?

a: trains militia in armor and such.
b: trains everyone but can result in job interruption spam

Make a separate room. Your amoured millitary won't be bothered by the training spears. Your civillians, on the other hand, may not be so lucky.

So i had an idea of making a gigantic mausoleum for my legendary warriors, i have some really cool ideas for it. Problem is, one of them is already in his coffin.

Can his coffin be moved ? (with him inside it of course) Or will it take his body out when its destroyed?

I overfilled a dwarven bathtub to 4/7, then I unfilled it to 3/7 but the dwarves still won't walk through it and, thusly, won't go outside anymore. How do I fix this?

[Mister Always]

You may need to lower it to 2/7.

So I'm diving specific types of food between specific stockpiles now ('cuz I have nothing better to do). I notice fly clouds around my roast stockpiles, which I never saw when it was still all one stockpile.

Is it because the roasts are not in barrels?

[FuzzyZergling]

Maybe, but I wouldn't worry about it. Prepared food takes forever to go bad, even with vermin everywhere.

I'm a genius. Yeah, that did it.

Alright, I got nice, 46 dwarf fortress running. I got some swords and speardwarves, but my marksdwarves train annoyingly slowly. Is there any way to speed it up?

[TolyK]

try making a fortified arena with a pit into it from above.
strip goblins (using the mass dump trick) and drop them in there.
station (not kill order!) your marksdwarves there and just wait.

What happens if you rename region2 to region3 in saves (assuming you only have 2 regions)?

nothing except that it's called region3 in the menu now
you can rename whatever you want

Even GEJGEUGEIGJGEIGJAIGJG?

yes, even that.
but please don't, keep at least a fraction of your sanity.

My what?

[Madventurer]

I only got one goblin master thief.... No ambushes around yet. Yeah, some dumb crundles too...
And fortified arena? Whaatt..?

[TolyK]

dig out an arena. channel a floor into it.
then build fortifications (having it accessible through a forbidden door is good ) and drop folks there. except for thieves. they will get away.
