archery + bronze colossus = legendary guys with plenty of practice 
just try the archerн

Woah, the markmanship things sounds like it's good for all the parties involved!

yep

How would you all recommend I get a running water supply to my hospital? They have soap and everything else, I think. I would like the dwarves to have water there. Should I pump it.. erm, can I even pump it there? Or should I make a well, or is there a better way? Thanks all.

The wiki has a nice tutorial on wells. Check it out.

To what extent are carps and other "big fish" usable as food and crafting material sources? I'm planning to create a contraption for big fish hunting, one that fills itself with river water (with a few fish in it, hopefully), drains the water, allows the fish to be gathered, and flushes away the waste produced. Is this possible and is it worth it?

yes and yes
if only just for sake of coolness

Yeah and if only for the sake of getting rid of other waste as well!

All I managed to do was let half of my crundles escape and get killed by my speardwarves....

Well I know how to use wells . I'm just curious if this is the more conventional way of providing water to a hospital. I didn't know if it were possible to pump water to it, and I'm curious if this is what others do. Thanks though, I'll read more into wells. I think I have 3-4 just for the sake of having that many. I had a great embark, plenty of water around. I just feel bad that my hospital doesn't have an active water supply.

Every time I try to move captured things like troglodytes into cages of arena, dwarves just let them out!

Using water to flush waste is somewhat bugged, because it's not entirely reliable at moving around shit (for one, a water level of 7/7 won't do anything), and when it does move it, some of it will simply disappear from sight as if you had [h]idden it. Be prepared for nervous tissue and cartilage that still remains in your stocks without being seen in the game proper.

So... maybe the solution could be.... erm.... magma?

[Madventurer]

Could someone please finally explain how do I stuff troglodytes and stuff in pit without letting them out before they even get close to pit...?

And where, where in the goddamn fortress I put that? In pit? Near it? Somewhere else?

Put it around the pit down.
