So if a Were-dwarf dashes for the closest target during a full moon to attack. Will it be any target, including other Were-dwarves?

And I'm curious about the disguises.

If a disguised vampire gains a title through the military, will said title stay if the disguise is busted? Or maybe that isn't not how the disguise system works.

Werecreatures of the same type are friendly to each other. Weres of differing types aren't.

Why did you choose to only let body parts with a head or grasp be animatable by necromancers, and not all body parts or those with a stance (e.g. feet and legs)? It seems sensible to be able to raise someone's lower half.

Will mugs soon be weaponized?

I assume this is a troll question, so just to troll you a bit more, I have the answer. It already is.

Will mugs soon be weaponized?

Also keep in mind that we have declared that anything that is throwable by an adventurer is weaponizable. This means that every single item that can be held is weaponizable. This includes dead plants, refuse, stones, bodies, pebbles, armor, unbuilt furniture, cooked meals, [mugs], and anything else that is haul-able by a dwarf. So if you are looking for something that isn't weaponizable you are going to need to look into things that can't be carried by a dwarf, such as snow (which I think has come closest to winning), clouds, mist, or other more intangible things.

Bravo, you beat me to it. I don't know whether it's sad or exceedingly funny that people can't legitimately troll because we've already thoroughly defined and SCIENCEd everything we can think of.

Also,

I can't recall any zombie lower halfs from any other games/movies I've seen. On many, MANY occasions in other games you'll strike down a zombie only to have the top half come crawling after you, but I've never seen a lower half hop up and run into things. I guess that's the big reason, what in the world would a lower half actually DO? I can't imagine they'd kick too hard since they have little to no weight behind em so unless they'd... throw their innards or something the only other possible attacks would require immediate brain bleach.

They are? I didn't even realize mugs are weaponized.

Anything you can grasp in DF can be used as a weapon, from ballista bolts to dragon corpses.

Tales of adventurers dual wielding dragons are not unheard of

Linkage to !!RESEARCH!!

[Cruxador]

Once again, we're left with no key, and thus little insight into what we're actually looking like.

I have a feeling we already have an answer to this but what's a meadow in the context of DF?
And also, does "waste" refer to land that's unused and thus wasted, or a dump?
Do the wooded areas have free-roaming swine, or are all pigs penned up as things are now?

[Footkerchief]

And also, does "waste" refer to land that's unused and thus wasted, or a dump?

"Waste" appears to be a term for a specific type of pasture; I haven't read that carefully enough yet to understand the distinction.

[Dsarker]

Waste is the stuff you feed the animals on.

[Cruxador]

Huh. Looking for that on wikipedia eventually brought me around to the manor system, where I discovered waste in a list of land types, probably the one which Toady was using, which describes it as "economically unproductive" land.

[Dsarker]

Yeah. So you use it to feed your geese and such, as opposed to the pastures you'd use for growing crops.
