That's entirely dependent on how Toady will resolve undead health. Right now, he's had to fudge in an HP system for undead when everything else doesn't use HP anymore. So the question is what, if any, common thread of 'durability'/'health' will the general Creatures of the Night have. Whether they're dependent on the intactness of the physical body or not.

It might not be as hard if he adds some kind of ectoplasm-like substance acting like blood so that skeletal creature with crushed bone would leak it, make skull site for "soul" which would release it when broken resulting in instakill and rib-cage site for "ectoplasm source" which would result in massive mystical bleeding out.

It really depends on how becoming and being undead skeleton is modelled and if that is done sensibly, health could be working quite naturaly.

By doing that, however, you'd make skeletal creatures no different from living ones in that you simply need to bleed them out to kill them.

Much too inflexible for Toady's vision of randomly generated Creatures of the Night, which will exhibit all range of undead traits. That means some skeletons won't stay down no matter how much you pulverize their bones because they're actually wraiths that happen to conveniently have a medium to easily manipulate in the physical realm. Some undead will be nigh unkillable except for some special metal like silver. Some will regenerate no matter what unless some specific location is targetted for no apparent logical reason (but you'll get hints where to attack based on villager tales). And some will be modellable with ectoplasm-like blood.

Question on marksdwarves: If you give them the order to kill a target and they are up in a tower, but on the wrong side, will they go try to find a place near them where they can shoot or will they run out of the tower to go find the enemy on the ground and then start shooting?

Oddly enough I can't even see the bug tracker... and I don't want to make an entirely new account just to see it either.

The bug tracker is actually a fantastically cool place where awesome people hang out, so you may want to reconsider!

It's also where we bicker over the minutiae of wether or not an arsenal dwarf is an important enough position to be spoken using a definite or non-definite Personal Noun ("I am arsenal dwarf" or "I am the arsenal dwarf").

Which is synonymous with awesome, in my books.

[FuzzyDoom]

I know people have trouble with Hunters but on my last fort that I abandoned yesterday for...well...really no reason, my manager (who also had all Hunting/Related labors on...forgot to turn them off when I made him Manager) went out hunting and took down and brought in 3 different Mountain Goats with his Crossbow...that he got from somewhere I think. He might've come with it, don't remember.

Well I signed up and was hit with a giant wave of disapointment... None of that stuff is there.
