...DF does have death yaks. Ever attack one in adventure mode? Or how about zombie yaks?

How do elves ever survive worldgen?

They've tried dozens of times, but every time the ore mysteriously vanishes.

What would a "therapist" noble position be like?

Basically a noble that exists only to talk down stressed dwarves. Therefore, completely necessary in most fortresses.

Why don't dwarves have actual therapists?

((If I'm pregnant of a dwarf, I must drink alcohol only and forget water?))


Because they already have mayors, that do precisely that.

Why even tough I have been under a great deal of stress lately my city's mayor won't let me scream at him/cry on his shoulder?

All the tears and slobber would mess up his beard.

Also, you have to drink one unit of water for every unit of booze, or genuinely upsetting things can happen.

Because its covered in dirt and rock dust. Also, any competent soldier would make sure it didn't shine and give their location away to the enemies.

What's actually burning is not the item itself, but the magical energy imbued in it by the moody dwarf. This magical energy is replenished from the aether, and the burning depletes it at about the same rate that the aether replenishes it. This energy would be used for artifact based magic, but it isn't implemented yet.
