What, were they set to wrestle? Because I've had trouble getting armed dwarves to fight, and I figured out the new military screens pretty well.

That didn't stop a beastie from running around inside my fort while my worthless militia ran in circles. Benny Hill music was involved.

Sounds familiar. I told an axedwarf to chop up some buzzards that were looting from my fort, he started strangling the buggers. I realized he was waiting for an axe that someone else was holding.

Important:  Just because oceans are frozen at surface level, doesn't mean they won't flood all the caverns on the way down.  This may be a bug, but...it's bad.

(This may mean "Never embark with ocean tiles anymore"...)

since when do oceans freeze

all the way down?

Looks like this wasn't actually an ocean problem so much as it was an aquifer that went down more than it should have, on the border between an ocean and other stuff.  So beware of aquifers that are fairly deep, that border a region that is considerably higher than them.

Other than that, the glacier/ocean would have been fine, and it may not be a problem in all cases at all.

Just started out on a vulcano sticking out of a frozen sea.
An instant cave in killed my wagon.

The Silly thing is, the upper 6 levels of the magmapipe are just that: a magmapipe contained within a single tile thick tube of obsidian.

Feeling morose, my miner started to dig into the exposed obsidian and was promptly encased in ice.
Suicide seems more difficult than I imagined.

If you guys remember that desolate, worthless cave with troglodytes, I sealed that off with a door, totally forbid passage, and then kept digging deeper. It's worked until now.

Some jackass beast guy thinks it's OK to show up, literally, 3 minutes after my squad was hacked to death by goblins and I was still trying to contain the tantrum spiral. So, I shrug off "Bufilo" and begin reassigning nobles, building statues, engraving floors, when SUDDENLY.

Urist McTantrum has destroyed a sylvite door.

Wait -- double take.

Forgotten Beast has destroyed a sylvite door.

Fuck.

[Diablous]

Yeah. There are tons of forgotten beasts in the new caverns, each unique. I would advise a stone wall to seal off caverns if you don't think you can handle what lies within.
