Did ya set up the range properly? Proper direction? Proper size? And is the squad assigned to it?
Also, can they access the targets?
[QUOTE=moffe;33404584]my baron is murdering people because of violation of production order can anyone tell me what is happening[/QUOTE]
Nobles can go berserk/stark raving mad/melancholy if their orders or mandates are ignored
Although they will always just set out an order that they be arrested for violating production orders
If he's actually grabbing a sword from your soldier stockpiles and specifically hunting down people he's glitching and should be hammered asap

yes they can access the target it is a single lane 10 tiles long and they are assigned to it

I suggest adding a lever to his room.
The sort linked to the supports on the "roof".
Has anybody tried duel wielding shielddwarves?

Moving cages is bugged and has been for god knows how long. There's even a comic about it

I'll assume you know about bringing stuff like crafts to the depot and so on, and then just giving them a good profit (depends on broker skill, a really good one can make them happy with a tiny profit) and then exchanging goods.
Next, the liason goes to meet with the Expedition Leader. First off, you choose what [b]you[/b] want more next time. This could be something like "I want more steel bars", so you drag the steel bar slider to the far right. This will increase the price of it, but the merchant is much more likely to bring some. (basically guarenteed on far right)
Next, you have the second screen, which is basically a review of what you wanted. It shows a load of numbers by the various goods, showing the percentage that they'll charge for them next time. (often 200% or so if you have put the slider to far right)
Finally, he brings up the "what [b]we[/b] want" screen, which is a list of 10 or so goods, all with percentages. It's often things like sceptres or crossbows, and is basically showing what they will pay more than average for.
To be honest, they're normally happy with a metric shitton of rock cups though :v:
My current military is currently shit, so in the event of a siege my contingency plan is to completely seal the one entrance and slowly starve to death.
I have internal farming areas, so i'm preparing for them to spontaneously combust/become sentient/swallow the fortress whole and for my internal wells to suddenly change to magma/spawn zombie mermen.
i had to station all my squads near the cages so my whole fortress wouldnt get slaughtered i also made cage traps outside the cage stockpile to prevent them from escaping
I'm redownloading this. Haven't played in over a year, is the military system still screwy as hell?

Everything about the military is fixed except for some minor archery training issues which can be avoided with some tricks.
Biggest military-related problems in vanilla DF are related to combat balancing which has some insanely broken things. Install the balance fix from the OP and generate a new world [I]after[/I] the install to help against them. Doesn't fix them 100% but it's much better than vanilla
Hmm assuming control of a bronze colossus sounds fu
You punch Dwarf 2 in the upper body with your left hand, bruising the muscle, jamming the right false rib through the left floating rib, jamming the left floating rib through the right false rib, jamming the right floating rib through the liver and tearing apart the liver!

Awesome, thanks! I stopped playing right after the version after 40d or something like that. I think it was DF2010(The one where the new military was released). Has anything huge been added to the fort mode?
[editline]24th November 2011[/editline]
Also does anyone have a link to the natural ASCII colors? I like the ASCII characters but don't like being blinded. And is there a pack to get rid of the vertical stretching?

Ghosts. And the upcoming update will add werewolves, vampires and necromancy.
[QUOTE=Antary;33421217]Ghosts. And the upcoming update will add werewolves, vampires and necromancy.[/QUOTE]
I think I remember reading about ghosts. Like dwarf ghosts will come back if they don't get a proper burial, and there are different kinds right?
Oh my god I just stabbed a guy's hands off with a spear and then pinched his throat
His head flew fifty feet and hit ANOTHER PERSON in the foot
"It explodes in gore!"
Beekeeping was also added after the initial release, and pottery.

This is the changelog for the next version, coming in 1-2 months hopefully

I just killed someone by throwing ears and feet at them
Reminder: if a bronze colossus is seen in fortress mode, shit pants and hide in a coffin
[editline]24th November 2011[/editline]
Aha oh wow, I just spilled some guy's guts and pinched them off
Then I cut another person's feet off and beat him to death WITH THE GUTS
Dohoho, lopping heads off is cool
Remember to prepare your enemies for their deaths by throwing the socks of their comrades at them.
Just started up my fortress and I see magnetite, gems, coal, and native platinum before unpausing. Shit's tight.

Hope you installed the balance fix

Why throw socks when I can jam ribs through spines at 50 yards by throwing blood?
[QUOTE=Orkel;33422200]Hope you installed the balance fix[/QUOTE]
I did, I probably would've rage quit otherwise
I just threw a dwarf halfway across the arena
He slammed into the wall so hard that his head fell off :v:
I just dug into a cave with mushroom men inside it.

Yes

[quote]Plump helmet men are known for their clever jokes and games, as well as their innocent, almost childlike nature. This had led to them being universally beloved by all sentient creatures of the world, as well as dwarves, who find them both sweeter and more succulent than the farm-grown variety. For years dwarves have been trying to find a way to brew these majestic creatures alive, but the scientific effort has been frustrated by the tendency of dwarven brewers to pounce on any plump helmet man they see and eat their way through the still-living mycanoid in an orgy of mushroom juice and drool.
