I have a player made fort with 28 dorfs and I can start adventurers there. It has a Duke and a tavern if that makes a difference. It also gets attacked in legends mode.

I did unrigorous tests in arena mode, with unskilled dwarfs fighting with copper knives. leather clothes protect better than cloth. Silk also seems to protect about the same as leather. I run minimalist forts so I took it as an opportunity to eliminate the whole clothing industry after making a bunch of silk socks.

For taking over a hamlet I accidently almost did this in a hillocks. The whole place was full of corpses and mostly hostile armed and armored goblins. Naturally I killed everyone but a random goblin baby and the actual mayor who was a dwarf hostile but fled. I later checked legends mode and it called my purge a failed insurrection 'after the insurrecting population fled'. Either because I failed to kill the mayor or that baby. I was under the impression the place was under occupation or seized by the goblin civ but it was a dwarf civ that was randomly hostile.

The silk thing makes sense, in its raw form silk acts like Kevlar but for arrows

I have a quest to drive "skulking vermin" out of a town, but all I see is a group of huddled humans? Can humans be vermin or is that strictly a group of kobolds that I'm looking for? The entire town is abandoned save for the group huddle.

Check their clothing. Is it nothing but tunics and loincloths? And do any have weird gibberish names instead of the in-game human language?

If so, kill them all. Sometimes non-kobolds wind up joining kobold civs, rarely.

I'll check that out, thanks.

Can also ask them about who rules there, if they don't say who's chieftain, ringleader, warlord etc, you have a problem. 3:

Hmmm they all mention the ruler I'm apparently supposed to kill but none of them know anything about them. And they seem to be wearing very random things, a lot of rope reed, loincloths, and different types of leather (including dog leather). And also whenever I mention the rumor of the presence in the town they say "it is terrifying". BUT - they also claim there are no troubles when I inquire. So I am highly confused. Oh snap nevermind I just found a kobold hiding in an abandoned house. Found a few more sleeping, this has gotta be it.

[Random_Dragon]

Rope reed is automatically diagnostic of them being either human or elven in origin, yeah.

Good to know. Aaannnnd shit. The next mission my lord sent me to accomplish is at an inaccessible location. Nevermind he's full of shit it's like four tiles over across a little river.

Ahahah. Nice one. Meanwhile I'm hoping I don't encounter the "respawning criminals" thing.

Is wood currently the only material you can build with in AM?

Yes, sadly. ;w;

Guess the obsidian tower will have to wait then.

[Random_Dragon]

Is there...a sane reason why the reptile man hamlet has a human bard and a goblin ranger, both dressed in the proper native attire, attacking me and my fellow lizards? ;w;

[scourge728]

Why do you even hope for a sane reason for anything in dwarf fortress?

[gnome]

What does it mean if a human child is flashing with pink quotation marks? They are awake while the rest of the population is asleep, I accused them of being a night creature but to no avail.

Also there realllly needs to be a proper way to ask about criminal organizations and groups and such. I'm looking to drive either a group or a person titled "The Cave of Spots" from a hamlet but I don't know how to find them or ask about them
