Ehm anyone else had issues with saving? The Autosaves at seasonchange work fine, but if i save on my own in the Menu and want to load it again later its not there. I Checked the Save Folder and only the Seasonal autosaves are there.

Did you by any chance "abandon fortress" instead of "save and quit"? Abandonning you fortres will destroy your save.

[Stuebi]

Nah, after checking all saves, it seems it saves under a radnom name, so i have to load all saves until i find the last one. A bit annoying to be honest.

Is there any way to check a Dwarfs stats and inventory? I Would like to look at the Weapons my Soldiers currently are carrying and if they really get better in Fighting skills. At the moment it just looks like they are standing around in the barracks.

(v)iew units, close to the dwarf to check.

In that menu you can look at :
(g)eneral infos (like skills)
(i)nventory
(p)references (like work animals and labors)
(w)ounds
(z) states (like his holdings and a lot of personal infos)

I couldn't play without using this. One of the basics IMO, just like the Set building tasks/prefs (q), View items in buildings (t) and Look around (k) menus.

As far as I remember about the save system it doesn't pick a 'random name' but it saves over the last file that was loaded. So if you load a seasonal auto save and then save again itll be under the same name as that old auto save. It could be more intuitive though, took me some getting used to.

K thx.

Currently under Siege by a Horde of Goblins, 18 Axegobbos i think. But the jsut stand around on a Cliff and do nothing. Well it wont bugger me if they starve or die out there on their own, but i waited ages for an attack and some fun. Problem is i cant go to them, my military is 9 Dwarfs strong, so i need help from the Traps at the entrance to defeat them.

With 4-5 properly trained soldiers (legendary fighter and shield user) using steel of bronze equipment, I've never had any problem dispatching goblins, even in large numbers. The worse that could happen is getting eshausted from fighting too long. I guess.

Of course, with less training comes many injuries leading to shameful deaths.

Sounds like they can't find a walkable route to your fortress and dwarves. Likely cause is a drawbridge raised that cuts off the route.

[Stuebi]

Nope, the Bridge is not raised and i tested the Path with building a Wall near them (to lure a Dwarf there). One Gblin followed him to my entrance with no problems. Well if they wont attack me soon i will have 20 Guys in my Military, should suffice even if they arent legendary.

Perhaps they are afraid?  Lure them with a kitten.

Ok 2 Seasons now, and they are still standing there. Im temted to kill them by provoking a Cave in under their feet, sadly i dont know a way to do this without killing one of my miners. Usually it suffices to just channel a few levels under the floor you want to collapse right? Otherwise i swear im gonna build a few Ballista far enough away to dont get them coming, and shoot at them (their standing in a few rows of 3 or 4 Goblins, i think a Ballista or two would be a Overkill), cowards
