OK, this is a bug, I've reworked my marksdwarves to not pickup guantlets or boots. They still are stuck at store item in bin / pick up gear, they remain at it until I pull them off duty and are right back at it when reactivated. Anyone have a work around for this?

[Yoink]

Thanks guys! The project is continuing happily along now.
I thought I'd already tried that, but turns out I was 'designating' stairs rather than 'building' them. Silly, eh?

I never realized caging an animal for a while would tame it. That's the first time I ever slaughtered a tame fox.

What? Caging an animal doesn't tame it, you need an animal trainer/dungeon master for that.
Are you sure the fox didn't come from a merchant? Those are pre-tamed.

Can an animal trainer train an animal inside a cage? because I never bought the animals. Did those elves bring animals? I don't recall. There's also a couple deer, a rat, a cougar, and a buzzard, all tamed.

They can only tame them inside a cage. Outside a cage they are not on the menu.
Also - elves bring animals. Inside cages. They also bring wood. Those are their only redeeming features.

So I'm a barony, and my baron isn't so bad.  Likes Bronze and Spears, rather than stuff I don' have.

Anyway, what stuff can I do to a room to make it a really nice tomb? Smoothing and engraving for a start, but then what? Statues? Random furniture? Chained animals?

[Lord Shonus]

Place weapon traps (or display cases if you use that mod) containing high-quality bronze spears. The "liking" bonus should set the perceived value for him into the stratosphere.

Does anyone know what happens if I mine through a glacier?

[Lord Shonus]

You make a tunnel.

High-quality gold or platinum or aluminum statues are my first choice.  If you got any artifact furniture from a moody dwarf, that works even better (typically).  Artifact mechanisms can be made into glorious gearboxes/levers/traps.

Gem-studded platinum casket goes a long way, too.

Can you decorate furniture that is already installed (built)? Or do you have to remove it first.

[FuzzyZergling]

You have to remove it first.

Has to be unbuilt, because the dwarf doing the decoration needs to pick it up and carry it to the workshop being used.

Just to throw my 2 cents in.  With the cages you buy from the Elves, I've found that even those cages I bought that I had thought were empty, still contained a random assortment of small tamed animals (even though the cage description didn't mention them).

That used to happen in 40d as well.
Or rather, I bought cages from the elves, and had random tame vermin around having to be crammed into the communal cage. I never knew where they came from.

Elves must have brought them onto your map. Then you either a) bought them, or b) "inherited" them when an elvish caravan had an accident.

Since you don't remember buying them I'll guess that sometime in the past elves walked into a gobbo ambush...

True, vermin do not show up as "cardinal cage" or etc when buying cages from the elves. You can see whether there is any vermin in the cage before you buy it by 'v'iewing it. You can also identify likely candidates by looking for cages that are more expensive than it appears they should be.
