I learned one very important fact.
If one of your dwarfs (whos a great master axe dwarf, with steel equip) goes berserk, cause of his beloved kitten get killed by a goblin you are screwed. :'(

I learned that a copper-clad goblin will cronically injure a trained, steel-and-bronze-clad dwarf 90% of the time.

I learned that Legendaries can immigrate. Granted, it was a waxworker...

I learned one of the best ways to easily make a well inside your fort, using a lake. Still building, hopefully it works.

I learned that an outdoor quantum stockpile works just fine for all those gobbo and troll corpses and severed body parts. Add a properly placed bridge, and that quantum dead gobbo stockpile suddenly becomes a rather efficient atom smasher.

I learned today: don't mark the dining room as meeting hall. Now I've got ~100 dwarfs which are all friends, married and breeding like rabbits.


"Urist McRandomDwarf has organized a party at randomtable."

And now there are sitting 100 dwarfs in my dining hall, zoo or statue garden partying. I want those lazy boozers to work! :-\

I learned that you need to set a stockpile next to a prisoner, or else he/she will die of thirst/starvation.

I also learned that sending melee troops against enemies when wildlife is present is a bad idea: my best soldier and only axelord was killed by a goblin lasher (he was also steel-clad!!) while pursuing a giant capybara... instant save-scum followed.

Naked dwarves remove the need to produce more clothing, which means more of your pig tails can be brewed into booze.
I think this is less a problem and more an expression of dwarven priorities.

This can be forgiven. Just go pull the lever in the room with the warm floodgate.

The truly amazing thing for me here is that a 6 page thread can be created of exceedingly high quality, simply because a group of manic depressive, schizophrenic midgets were able to milk a cow.

I learnt that, unless frozen, combined with magma, or powering magma pump stacks, water is undwarfy.
I also learnt that until booze is considered a proper liquid, I can't have mist generators.

I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

By all means. I have only 130 dwarves, and I'm sitting on top of 7.500 units of booze. And counting.
I can't even sell them fast enough to the caravans - I can LITERALLY have booze fountains in my fort. Can't wait for that...
