i have learnt that released goblin prisoners in adventure mode are called 'goblin drunk'. at least my buddy is anyway!

And I just learned that you can release prisoners in adventure mode. How did you do that? I think I still have a save with five demons imprisoned in a human fortress, unguarded.

i just spoke to them and asked them to join me. i think it works no matter what civ you are. i was ambushed by gobbos, and they left my gobbo buddy alone! he was useful to stop bogeymen from coming!

Why didn't I think of that? It works! I now have two blind demons, a cerulean demon and an iguana brute making my human bowman companion feel insignificant. One of them has "fire" though. If that means it breathes fire I don't think I'll last long.

Whenever dwarves get into melee, their first reaction is to place their baby on their head, to allow free use of both hands, and thus any headshot instead strikes the child.

I relearned always to note levers, and to always be paranoid, when dealing with any dwarf

Should you fail to comply, strict !!disciplinary actions!! will be taken. Also, we feel we should remind you that one of the "criminals" on your list is the chief medical dwarf. If he ends up too badly injured to do his job, you will be fired. Out of a magma cannon.
Sincerely,
The Administration

Today I learned that orthoclase can form gem-quality transparent yellow crystals. I should mod this in as tiny clusters of gemstone among regular orthoclase.

They saved a Fey mooded Dwarf from going insane from lack of metal and stone in my fort... which has 3 levels of soil based aquifer I haven't penetrated yet.

I still stole everything they had including their packbeasts.  But I said "Thanks for the fireclay!" as I did it.

that i can find my old adventurers, but they're arseholes and won't join me.

P.S. THIS IS VITAL! I need to know whether I can retire an adventurer and if his companions will stay with them. I really want my goblin and demon friends when I build my hive army of former antmen adventurers.

Today, i learned that all invaders must succumb to delicious magma. Especially flammable titans. No need for cage or weapon traps when you can just build a room that floods with magma on command!

It may be worthwhile to have the babies fall into ring of fortifications or windows, to prevent anyone from catching and saving them.

Yeah, I was thinking toady ought to change the way tanned hides are handled to mirror cloth to some degree: the amount in units of skin obtained from an animal is equal to it's body size, and to have a complete hide for use one needs to have at least 70000 units of skin (or whatever). Everything less than 70000 should be called a partial hide, and list it's size in the description. Anything larger than 70000 units gets split up: making as many complete hides as possible and keeping any leftovers as a partial hide.
That way an elephant can be used to clothe several dwarves and one cat wouldn't provide much more than a pair of socks.

Quote from: DF Wiki DF2010:Orthoclase page
Orthoclase is one of two minerals that are called Moonstone.

So you just need to mod small clusters of moonstone in the large clusters of orthoclase.

Have them killed. Nothing solves a problem quite as effectively as simply having it killed.
