Every egg-layer is breeadble - just build a small room, put male and female, a couple of nest boxes, lock the door and wait. I even bred asps that way!
Btw, TomiTapio, did you tweak mineral occurance like metals and such? On Deon's "vanilla" i often struggled for iron on "frequinet minerals" world, often having an embark place saying "Deep metal, shallow metals" to have cobalt (top layers) + galena (deep below), or galena + silver, and such...
But your raws, man... i've got from the very first embark on terrifying savannah i've got on 3rd layer: Limonite (100% iron ore) + tetrahedrite (100% copper, 20% silver) and gypsum! That was... amazing! Digging futher i've stucked marble on 15+ layer, yay! That's all my beardy dwarfy dreams come true! Now i wouldn't be suprised finding gold\platinum deeper below (not using prospector tool to spoil such fun, but usually i do, when i want an embark with certain metals)
Speaking on weapons - sure edged cut off limbs like crazy, but those mace-wielding gobbo's... Man, i've just had 2x siedge from Centaur archers + Goblin macemen (surprisingly early - like in the middle 2nd year summer) - my military was like 3 dorfs in copper armor + iron\steel weapons (fending off unded while i get my wood), plus i really screwed by second main migrating wave at the start of second year - got only 2\2\2 Hammerer and1\1\1\1 maceman, (but two legendary Doctors, so no whining there
) not even a single smith, (i didn't embark with smithing skills) and the second Steel dwarf was a 6 year old kid... Just Awesome, fun is coming my way
Well, i've got a Steelie from embark, who's been training for a half a year and had like 2\0\3\3 Axeman...
So, like you wrote just above, about the fort challendge (and for more fun) i didnt wall off the outer space, just booby trapped it in 3 circular rows (stone traps to crush undead thingies chasing my peasants, next is Cage traps for random deer and invaider hunting and the third one, the tightest one: cage trapping, for the actual defence\late warning system), sooo, ive hurried inside and armed all capable man (by saying capable i mean at least novice in any battle skill) - so, we're got 7 men armed, partially armored in copper and ready to die trying!
Main Entrance was trapped with only 3x cage 2x 10 copper serrated dics traps, so i've managed to gather my forces while cents and goobos chase and killed my cat and lone wandering newbie suturder, who drowned with one of the inwaiders, bying precios time for our fortress. We will engrave you name in teh Hall of Honor, sir! Thankfully, gobbos chased him for a half a map, and stood there, while cents rushed in... Traps were slicin', cages dropping from above and lockin' - so only half made it throu and weve butchered, quite a sucsess! But stupid dorfs rushed to a hospital to lay off and let gobbos slaughter the fort, with only myself to blame for designating a hospital area before the battle...
Thankfully, goobbos stood and wait in the corner, giving me time to reload my traps and suture cuts on my warriors (two of them with crutches btw, from previous undead encounters, real Vets!
) Plus two mastiff puppies grown up (the ony battle capable animals i've got left, others protected their owners too well), my newbie smiths made some junky iron brestplates\mails\shields in a hurry... And ofcoure i've runned off my medical supplies, so encounter was imminent.
And my ovely "buggy" Keepers caravan came! And ofcoure they enters from a WRONG edge of the map, and were going to be buchered on their way in, oh well, now or never! I've got a two steel armored guards to helm me with those ten mace weilding greenies. So, the point i was telling you all this... Sure, blunt sucks. Sure, it takes forever to kill a thing... But what that goobos did to my men! they were all red, crying, vomiting, crouching away from the fight... I dont know how to name 'em.. Elves! I've won by one axe-hacking-madly-battle-transing captain, who hacked the rest of the gobbos, while they mauled crap out the rest of my squad. And they got so much minor broken bones and bruises like a wall of red text. No one died, luckly (or not, cause healing them would seemed to take an enternity, and supplies, which i dont have).
All those blunt weapons are made to abuse your dwarves and medical personnel, beware!
