So circling back to that 'babies pilot their dwarven mothers like mech suits' bug they re-fixed recently... Dwarves have about a 1/500 chance of giving birth to twins, or triplets. And if they do, the mother carries all of them around till they walk.
So do the babies fight for control in that case?

Western Civilization declaring it's impossible to assimilate other cultures sounds like a failing on Western Civilization's part to me. Very disappointing, I thought we were meant to be the enlightened society

Possibly the least threatening forgotten beast I've ever gotten.
Dwarves aren't afraid of vomit, you should see the fort entrance.
The first weapon that lands a hit on this guy is going to kill it instantly. That's if a passing stray kitten doesn't brush against it.
Special ability: Hungy!

Mamdani, increasingly exasperated, takes his fourth 1am phone call from Trump this week. He asks who the main guy from Night Moves was and then they briefly discuss fondue. Trump recommends manhattan steakhouse that closed in 1998 and says goodnight.

Well, the wooden dwarf fort of foresthalls came to an abrupt end when a dragon showed up.
The wooden walls were surprisingly fireproof. The dwarves and everything else on the map, less so

This guy has been sitting at the bottom of a deep pond outside my fort for oh, about a year now.
Can't get out, can't drown, can't hurt anyone. Dwarves don't even notice him.
I'm probably just going to pave over that pond, just in case.
He's happy about how good at swimming he's getting, though

Y'all are laughing at 'Babies worship unknown gods' as a bug in Dwarf Fortress, but you really ought to have a nosey at the bug tracker sometime. Nearly every line is a gem.

Excuse me, this is Dwarf Fortress. You've not even encountered any of my dwarves yet, but you're off having your own life-changing adventures down in the caves.

Time for a new dwarf fort. Foresthalls, the new project where I build everything out of wood on the surface, just to annoy the elves.
(I am not currently in contact with any elven civ. I'll let them know when it's ready, so as to not spoil the surprise)

Dwarf Fortress manages to surprise me regularly, even after this many years.
I've seen plenty of ghosts over the years, but I don't think I've seen one possess another dwarf and make their body throw a tantrum.
I'll hold off on the bolt throwers on this one

Turns out: Surprisingly well. Friendly fire doesn't look to be much of a thing, or at least no-one caught a bolt who wasn't being aimed for.
And a couple of these throwing a crossbow bolt out every 2-3 ticks really does help pacify sudden werebeasts.
A+, recommended for all your dwarf taverns

So is there like a 'siege weapons' tab or something somewhere I'm missing in Dwarf Fortress? Like how you have a list of workshops, or a list of bedrooms, or...
Manually clicking on every siege weapon to change its state seems laborious, I have to be missing something

I don't know how the dwarf fortress siege is going for everyone, all my battles seem to be starting inside the tavern. Beginning to wonder if I should put some bolt throwers by the dining tables

Oh boy, and time for some more dwarven !!SCIENCE!!. Last time was 'does being bitten by a werecreature while they're in human form transfer the curse?' (No)
This time, it's 'Does a werecreature ranimated in werecreature form as an intelligent undead still curse people it bites?'
