Because it would be offensive to the invaders.

Why do female invaders not carry babies?

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Because spitting a distance of a full meter requires not only to just spit, but also throw your head forwards to give the spit an added thrust.

Why do military dwarves explicitly need a specifically designated target to train, when a random idiot in a village who lost his own mind to you only needs to shoot bolts around for 5 minutes to get from 0 xp to proficient?

The best way to demonstrate it to him is take a save of 40 year old fortress with 150 dwarves in it on a good sized embark with a volcano that just breached the circus and install it on his gaming rig and watch it bring his rig to its knees.

Dwarves are much more efficient at gaining skill when they do it for their own madness rather than for yours

Why do military dwarves try to grab equipment even when the enemies they are supposed to fight are between them and the gear?

They need their gear to fight enemies.

How do you think the spores always find the marryed partner?

Imagine your comrades are fighting to their deaths in the hallways outside while you lie in a nice, comfy bed. Tell me, would you feel a bit guilty?

They take up professions when they are living in Elven civilizations. Elves are pretty much animals anyway.

Remember before 40.01 that trees didn't have roots at all?

Why can I never make up any questions but am eager to answer others?

Questions arent made, they're born.  Every time a dwarf flees a fortress into the savage wilderness a question is born from his cowardice.

When vampires lay down oppressive mandates, how come they dont change their civilizations ethics?

Some things just can't be hand-waved away by a public official. Getting away with murder because you are the mayor/baron/king? Sure-- government corruption is expected! Making murder by blood sucking legal? That's going too far!

Is there a reason why my fortress has over 100 residents, has only 1 married couple, and there are no children?

Because you're the luckiest overseer since the adamantine spire was found.

Why is it dwarves are more distressed by the fact that they haven't seen their cousin in three months than the fact the well is tainted with vampire and werewolf blood?

No true dwarf would be caught drinking water, so Urist isn't going to worry about the well's condition

Why won't any of the other civs start a sliver barb industry even when I sell them the seeds?

They think the seeds are some crazy dwarven weapon and throw them away as soon as they are out of sight of the fortress.
