#1: Put the Alarm Siren in the Military Garrison, it fits and is one buildings less.

#1: Keep the Alarm Siren seperate, I want to have it near my other levers.

#2: I have traded with Gnomes, build Artificer and Weather Control Station.

#2: I have NOT traded with Gnomes, did not have the chance to build their buildings.

@Stargazer - you can build the spawn point on top of a support which you can attach to a lever, or otherwise trigger. It becomes a magma bomb =P

[Stargazer]

Augh. Welp. Guess I don't really need that magma for smithing, since there go all my soldiers. The manual says Warlocks (Wizards?) don't do ambushes, but I just got ambushed by three groups of them right outside my fortress walls. :c

Warlocks do not have the [AMBUSHER] behavior, that is not exactly the same thing as being always visible though.

After many hours of genning I finally got a world where I can embark on an ocean with both joyous wilds and terrifying biomes! I wanted to have a joyous wilds ocean but I suppose I'll get a sea monster or two now, so it's all good. Maybe I'll even be able to get some sunshine on the go? That'll be a pleasent first.

The game pops up with the whole "Ambush!" notification though.

[smakemupagus]

Indeed.  But I think there are still differences, they still take a direct path towards your doors, for example. 
AMBUSHERS (elf, drow, goblin, kobold, pandashi, trogs, gremlins) will sometimes lurk around the map for a long time without attacking directly.

The exact behavior of the [AMBUSHER] and [SIEGER] tags (or lack of either) is a bit hard to understand/explain concisely, but you will see the differences.  Anyway, all modders can do really is either put the tags or not.

[sayke]

@Fungus - you should use perfectworld to set up a world param set you like so you don't have to generate worlds over and over =P it really helped me once i figured it out!

[Meph]

The difference in ambushes and the ambusher tag is this:

You get ambushed, you have 5-10 enemies.
You get sieged, it says: SIEGE, AAAhh, RUN, and you get 50-100 enemies.

If the entity has the ambusher tag, then this happens:
You get ambushed, you have 5-10 enemies.
You get sieged, it says: Nothing, till you run into the invisible army and you get 50-100 enemies.

Which means your warlock ambushes are just ambushes. If they had the ambusher tag in the raws, their invasions would be invisible as well.

Hi everyone. I would really like to try this mod out, however, at the moment I only have my mac. I downloaded the mac version of the mod, which has an exe. which I cannot open. Could anyone please tell me, or direct me to, a solution to this problem?

Cheers

Just a wild guess, but I'd guess that Netherwood can only be planted on the 3rd cavern level.

Love the new mod additions, but since the most recent update, I've been encountering a lot of game crashes.
It usually happens when I click the mouse on the game screen. Also, maybe when I start up a military and check the equip screen, but that only happened once so I'm not gonna say that's what caused the crash.
Anyone experience anything similar, or can anyone offer some advice on the problem? Thanks.

Yes, for the last 5 pages (by default) or so people have been reporting this repeatedly. Remove the mouse plugin in hack/plugins. It has a name that has mouse in it.

Thank you, I should learn to check other posts more often x_x

I had this twice myself. I reported it in the dfhack thread, but no one seems to know what it is about.

falconne has said that it's due to mousequery and that he's fixed it, I think.
