I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, 'cause I'm in the middle of a tantrum spiral, but I've noticed a lot of things being randomly killed. About 10 animals were struck down, and now I've had two humans killed too (it's a human fort).

I would've put this down to all the tantruming and not the new version, but this is the second tantrum spiral I've had in this fort. The first tantrum spiral was in 31.8 and nobody got killed, they just broke a few chairs and doors.

They didn't even attack one another last time, as far as I'm aware, but in this version I've had about a dozen animal/human deaths and I was only playing for about 15 minutes. Maybe they're just more effective at killing one another now, but I wanted to throw this out there incase anyone else noticed the same thing.

After a bit more of testing I've come to the conclusion that Archery Target > Armor Stand/Weapons Rack except for actual archery practice.

Using a Weapons Rack for my military they just "Individual Combat Drill" all day long. Using an Archery Target they begin to spar and actually hurt each other real bad with swords

Unfortunately I can't get my Archers to train shooting, they just refuse to do it

[Haspen]

Woo, one step closer to perfection!

*grabs and play adv.mode* :3

Hmm...so I have 2 Marksdwarf now and an Archery Range. Somehow they "spar" instead of practice shooting and one of them just became a Hammerdwarf (although he only has a Crossbow in his hand). What the hell?

Make sure you designate ammunition for them to use.
You can do this by accessing it through the military screen and then "f" which would bring up the ammunition thing.

Yeah they have Ammo, that's not the problem

[lordnincompoop]

Yay for bugfix!

[Orkel]

Are the marksdwarves in a separate squad from the melee dwarves? Try doing that.

[yarr]

Yes, they are

[Kattaroten]

Right! im off to build a temple in the name of Toady

[xDarkz]

I just got my Marksdwarves to train by using the overlapping method :].

Edit: Well, they're doing Individual Combat Training right now. I'm hoping they'll start shooting at the range soon afterwards.

So question: I want to update from .08 to .10. Cause there are all these raws that probably need updated to the new versions and such.

Toady has been extra productive lately, releasing multiple updates in one day both this time and last.

Just the butchering alone makes adventure mode much more epic. Not to mention all the fixes, making combat much better than before.

I'm not sure if this is a known bug - I haven't been keeping up with the bug tracker, and I haven't reclaimed a fort since .03 -, but my game crashes whenever I try to reclaim my Fortress. I'm not using an old save, I've tested on two different downloads, and I'm using the Linux version, in case that is important. It isn't leaving an error log, like crashes usually do.

This is a minor problem for me - I can get along fine just running around butchering entire civilizations

Mac version still not working for me. The folder contains "df", a unix executable, "dwarfort", and exe, and README.linux, another unix executable. All of them ask what application to use to open them.

Dunno if I call that productive.. a small internal testing group woulda shown the bugs pretty quickly
