I started a new fort (because I can) and early on I got a "friendly" speardwarf that started handing out the Armok to some giant capybaras in the area.  He got wounded and wandered off-screen.  Where did this guy randomly come from?  I had a caravan leaving just when I noticed him, but he wasn't part of the caravan...he was just some strange dwarf on a pilgrimage of blood.  Is that normal dwarfy?

[Urist Imiknorris]

He was part of the caravan, he just was an idiot and forgot to leave.

I have a "P" next to the goblins at the civ screen....am I at peace with the goblins? 40 military strong and all I look forward to is the occasional megabeast? :/

I've embarked on a tropical shrubland recently, and I just noticed that elephants can spawn there. They haven't yet, thankfully... but are they hostile by default? I'd hate to be Boatmurdered by those evil pachyderms.

Dwarves are scared of elephants (and about every other animal that gets too close) but elephants are just as scared of dwarves. They aren't hostile, but if you attack one they can get quite nasty.

Hunters seem to kill them just fine, but assign one at your own risk.

Or you could just catch them in cage traps and let them starve. They'd starve anyway, as they can't feed themselves fast enough, but if you don't trap them somehow, they'll probably leave the map before they die.

P just means 'not actively at war'. Goblins will always be hostile.

Could someone tell me how I remove upright spear traps? I suspect I made my danger room a little to dangerous as its not only mangling my dwarf's pets but also my fully armored dwarfs.

[Renzuko]

alright, so i found cotton candy...now when i hit mine, it gives me the warm stone warning, but at the point im at, the warm stone is either above or below the layer of cotton candy im digging in. now, if i dig out that cotton candy, will the magma come down?

also, how does one safely remove cotton candy when its surrounded by magma?

Q, hover cursor over the spear trap, press x.

Incidentally, did you use training spears, or actual spears? 'cuz there's a difference.

That's not quite accurate. It has been reported, even in this version, that it's possible to get a goblin caravan.

I think I used training spears but I'm starting to think maybe a iron spear got inside too as all the "incidents" so far appears to be in/around the same tile. Built another danger room with only 1 spear/tile instead of 5 per trap to reduce the amount of training my doctors get.

It will show P even if the goblins are hostile. I don't know what it would take to spawn a goblin caravan.

I had this once. Then a goblin siege appeared as they left

_{they got creamed, but still funny}

Huh, wonder what causes that.
