I don't know if he has that or not, but I doubt it.

Who is "Urist"?

Who is "Urist"?

I'm gonna assume you're serious, since your profile says you've only been here 3 days or so.

In case it is still unclear:

"Urist" is one of the names that can be randomly given to a dwarf. Because of an insanely popular insane dwarf in a story fort, it has become the generic name for a dwarf.

[Tsarwash]

Was Urist from Boatmurdered ?

[Aklyon]

No, but there might have been one named Urist before he was renamed.

[Lord Shonus]

One Dwarf Against The World, I believe.

Is it possible to go construct higher than the highest z-level after embark?

Hey guys, what is the point of bookkeeper precision? When I set him up in the first year, I pick highest precision and get numbers pretty fast. Does this only become a factor after many years?

It's like real-world accounting, except that the bookkeeper tracks EVERYTHING. More accuracy means it's easier to keep track of food/booze stocks, how many of any particular items are available as compared to in use, etc.

Ya, I mean to say: why shouldn't I ever pick highest precision? I don't see any downside to it yet.

[Lord Shonus]

Basically, it takes a couple of seasons to max it, most forts don't have enough items to need it maxed early on, and it ties up a valuable dwarf.

I just had a siege for the first time since version 31.12 They walked about 30 squares towards my fortress, but then they all stopped. I have nothing that blocks their entrance, and I changed nothing about it during those 30 squares.
All i did was move my army to the entrance and limit civilians to the burrow.
But now i don't even have that. I just keep my fort going like nothing is happening.. the soldiers are sparring etc.. they still wont move.
They are just slowly spreading out through random movement 1square at a time.. i refuse to attack them out in the open when i have 33 cage traps waiting for them..

What's wrong here?

EDIT: Ok suddenly they were all gone.. i guess they knew i had traps there and got bored waiting for me to come out..
..though i actually had dwarves running around on the map, not that many squares away from them, but enough to not aggro..

[Icarosaurvus]

Um.
What does one do when one breaches hell?
The only answer I can seem to find is "die". Repeatedly.

[Lord Shonus]

Pretty much it.
