makable military dwarfs would be quite useful all round this idea needs to be more developed its possible but theres no real way of effectively using it as a game element
?

what i really just want is something that spawns dwarfs they're extremely needed to invade the sinister areas
You wanted a bunch of dwarves for sinister embarks, you got 'em. Copper armour is cheap and you don't need the better metals for dealing with unarmed things (unless they include materials that can overcome copper armour, but those are pretty rare).
Screwing around with bridge physics and anything else requiring live subjects can be done via forced quitting, countersieging can't be done no matter how many dwarves you spawn. Pleb rushes fall under the first of those two.

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

its not the harpys themselves that are hard its the fact that I got attacked immeditaley before i could even
move :( they took out one cat and a dog this stream of two harpys rushing in and sneaking potshots at me then leaving continued 2 seconds between each of them eventually they had killed my two dogs and cats and my mule and had stranded two of my dwarves by stabbing them in the foot ::) over all the situation went seriously F.O.O.B.A.R real fast I decied that I had only at this point managed to squeeze my gnarled group into a freshly cut shallow cave with no door and two dwarves on the other side helpless to the none stop harpy suicide attacks I decided that I was royally fucked seriously off to a badstart and proceed to beat a hasty retreat :-\

I Know harpys are realy easy to kill and my drafted plebs were downing hundreds on end but what killed us was the fact that they never stopped ever like frakin clock work every two seconds they have a harpy with a wingman sweep the cave entrance in a perfect arc if they saw a straggler (I.E. my stranded dwarfs)
they would sweep in vicoucsly tearing at the helpless dwarf then when my miliatary starts getting close they would hightail it out back to were they came from My miliatary would usally cut one down but hes was always replaced  :o those harpys were using some pretty advanced tatics witch leads me to bleave they were commanded by a skeletal unicorn somehow I never seen anything do that before but there

...skeletal unicorns don't exist without modding. Unicorns = good biome. Undead = evil biome. Good biome =/= evil biome.

That's why it is so legendary!  :P
Although I have heard of people getting them by embarking in half good and have evil, I have my doubts, as I have never seen a good and an evil biome next to each other. Maybe upping the world gen parameters so that good and evil is a lot more common.

Zombie whale? Phsaw!
Try skeletal whales AND a river of skeletal carp. And they can go on land and drag dwarves kicking and screaming away.

Well first we need to figure out the offset for spawning any type of creature then attach a code to trigger it in either adventuer mode or fort mode.
and you can possibly make Dwarfs if you slap a tame flag(DFusion) on one change it into a cow or something then have it mate with some other cow then change back to a dwarf before delivery and boom a healthy meat shield. though I wonder If DT really make those with Tame tag on become apart of the military then I should be able to tame Spiders and add them to a archer group for long range cover.

I gave seen good biomes right next to evil, but i've always been too chickenshit to tackle 'em. Maybe once I've made "Untamed Wilds" my bitch.
