Why do miners max out with different experience totals? Therapist says ones at 20 with 29.9k and the other at 20 with 31.4k

Also, be aware that turning off all three caverns will also turn off all underground plants. You will never get seeds, so you will never be able to farm underground.

You cannot plant your own stuff from existing seeds you bring?

The dwarves wouldn't bring seeds because their home civ wouldn't have seeds, because the plants underground wouldn't exist to give the seeds.

I think they're set to use exclusively underground seeds too, so they wouldn't go to aboveground seeds.

Underground flora won't exist in the first place. No underground plants, trees, GCS, etc.

They continue to accumulate experience, even though there's only 20 skill levels.

What are the penalties for killing dwarf merchants/guards?

Depends on the method. If you flood the depot or use some similar indirect method, then the mountainhomes will just send you less stuff next year because profits were so bad. If you use kill orders, you'll cause a loyalty cascade. Basically, the dwarf that does the deed will be labeled an enemy of the civ but will still be a member of the fortress. Thus, other dwarves will flee/attack him because he is an enemy of the civ, but if a dwarf succeeds in killing him they'll be killing a fortress member, and will become an enemy of the fortress. They will, in turn, be fled/fought by the other dwarves. That cycle will repeat until everyone is dead. From personal experience, it is quite amusing and is a good way to end a fort you're bored with.

What if I drive them insane first by locking them in with a drawbridge?

Can child dwarves adopt pets?

EDIT: Yes, yes they can.

That is a very good question. My gut says that if they go berserk they will no longer be members of their parent civ, and will be fair game. I'm not at all sure about melancholy/babbling though. I propose SCIENCE!

need more information.

Is it possible to build up a 7/7 tile of blood, or will it just be thousands of "pool of blood"?

[Proteus]

The big question is,
if it is a save from the current version or if one from an earlier version of DF.

(either way I assume that you cannot restore your save....probably it has become corrupted, or, if save from an older version, perhaps the current version has problems with some things...there is however an options in the DF-Init file, which tells DF to make backups of your saves; enabling this might prevent such problems in the future, as you can always try the backup save)

As for the blood question...
blood doesn´t behave like water,
each spatter/pool of blood is treated like a separate object, which cannot merge with other spatters/pools,
therefore the tile will only accumulate spatters and pools of blood

[Diverso]

The save is from current version. Maybe it's corrupted because my power supply failed just after save, i mean from the main menu after saving yesterday?  Is there any way to uncurrupt the save or at least get the worl from there? :/

It's more likely the program is corrupted. try re-downloading it.
