When a fortress meets certain requirements, the [[liaison]] will offer to make it a barony. The player will then have the option to choose a citizen to promote to the rank of '''baron''', which will take effect when the liaison leaves the map. This offer can be temporarily rejected (by choosing the "we'd rather keep our distance" option or by canceling out of the selection screen after agreeing), deferring the choice until the liaison's next visit. Until the offer is accepted and a candidate nominated, the liaison(s) will not negotiate trade agreements. The promotion screen (see example below) displays only the names and titles of potential candidates, so it may be easiest to choose a candidate in advance of the liaison's offer when more information is available.

It is also possible for a citizen to inherit a baron(ess) title, even from another site, immediately giving that citizen noble status. This can potentially result in the fortress becoming overrun with baron(esse)s that will never leave for the sites that they are the rulers of.

If the appointed baron(ess) is [[marriage|married]], then the spouse will become the baron(ess) consort, and will be considered an unlisted noble (doesn't appear in the {{k|n}}oble menu, but is listed as a [[noble]] in the {{k|u}}nits menu).

Once appointed, the local baron(ess) can issue [[mandate]]s and [[demand]]s, and these will be strongly influenced by his or her personal [[preference]]s. Of particular note, a baron(ess) with no item preferences will never issue any mandates (but may still make demands{{verify}}). If a non-mandater is appointed, it may be a good idea to supply additional happy [[thought]]s for him/her to replace those that would have been experienced from having mandates met.

The selected baron(ess) may still perform useful labour from his/her normal life (as a miner, for example). However, as the baron is supposed to be a [[Noble#Notes|lazy noble]], this seems to be an unintended, broken behaviour in all 0.34.xx versions (so far) and might be fixed in future releases.

[[File:Barony appointment.PNG|200px|thumb|right|A picture detailing how a baron is appointed]]

== Requirements ==
*Have a caravan leave when your population is 20 or more
*Exported 10k wealth
*Created 100k wealth (imported wealth does not count)

If a player meets the above requirements and still can't promote anyone, this may be due to a glitch. This affects some games and requires that the trade caravan depart before meeting with the liaison in order to get the barony option. Try keeping your mayor and liaison separate until after the caravan has left the map.

Military

2018-05-06T13:10:21Z

ShinyandKittens: Changed quality rating from "Exceptional" to "Masterwork" using the rating script

{{Quality|Masterwork|13:10, 6 May 2018 (UTC)}}
{{av}}

<div style="float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-top:1em;">__TOC__</div>
The '''military''' is one of the most important aspects of a successful fortress. Even with many [[trap]]s, [[bridge|drawbridges]] and [[magma|other defenses]], your military will still need to fend off [[goblin]] [[siege]]s, [[megabeast]]s, [[titan]]s, and fiendish [[Giant cave spider|underground]] [[Forgotten beast|beasties]]. Using a combination of [[squad|squad orders]] and [[scheduling]], you can set up an elaborate offensive, defensive, or balanced military structure for your [[equipment|well-equipped]] [[soldier]]s to follow. Turning your dwarves from [[immigration|useless migrants]] into bloodthirsty killing machines never hurts (except the enemy, of course).

'''WARNING! Mining, woodcutting, and hunting have a "civilian uniform" that conflicts with ''all'' military equipment. Assigning any dwarf with the mining, woodcutting, or hunting labors enabled to the military is strongly discouraged.'''{{bug|1451}}

The military system is rather extensive and complex, and there is a lot of documentation. Here is a list of key documents categorized by expertise level:
* '''Beginner:'''
** [[Attack]] is a ''very'' simple "How to attack a target" guide. This is useful if you don't know anything about the military and just want to order some (untrained) dwarves to (suicide) attack something ''now''.
** [[Military quickstart]] will teach you to set up and train your very first properly-organized squad.

* '''Intermediate:'''
** [[Squad]]s helps you understand everything about squads.
** [[Military interface]] contains mostly complete documentation on the ''military screen''.
** [[Scheduling]] describes the squad scheduling system in more detail.
** [[Military F.A.Q.]] is a list of frequently asked questions.

* '''Advanced:'''
** [[Training]] will give you insights about combat training.
** [[military design|Military Design]] provides specific advice on how to get your soldiers prepared for any threat.
** [[Security design|Security Design]] will give you specific suggestions on the physical defenses that will defend your military.
** [[Defense guide|Defense Guide]] is a general overview of threats and considerations for fortress defense.
** [[Trap design|Trap Design]] contains information on complex traps that are not a minor/optional part of a larger defensive plan (but might be adapted or plugged into one).
** The [[Advanced Marksdwarf Training Guide|Marksdwarf Training Guide]] is an in-depth guide on getting marksdwarves reliably training, while noting and providing workarounds for bugs related to marksdwarfs, reloading, and ammunition.
** The [[Military testing|Military Testing]] page contains community tests of different combat scenarios carefully planned out in the [[Object testing arena|Arena]], and results of each. You may find some useful information about results of combat variables contained within.

The rest of this guide contains an overview of military features (with links to associated sections of other documents).

==Quick Reference==
From the main menu:
*The '''[[Military interface|military]]''' screen is accessible through the {{k|m}} key.
*The '''[[squad]]''' screen is accessible through the {{k|s}} key.
*The '''[[Note|points/routes/notes]]''' screen is accessible through the {{k|N}} key.
*The '''[[burrow]]s''' screen is accessible through the {{k|w}} key.
The military screen and all its tabs are mouse-compatible, and can be navigated through mouse clicks rather than strictly keys (when in windowed mode).

==Creating a Military==
While it may be confusing to a new player, the military system makes up for its initial impenetrability with its versatility. Using the [[military interface]], squads can be assigned, reordered and restructured at will, dwarves can be set to equip a highly specified uniform along with the rest of their squad or stand out and equip something unique, and you can give incredibly detailed commands and programming to your squads to follow out based on time of year, circumstance, location, and user convenience. That being said, there's a lot to be learned.

This article is about the general aspects of what a military comprises. For more detailed information including specific key commands, see the associated article expanding on a subject. In particular you may want to check out the [[military interface]] article since the interface is one of the most confusing aspects.

===Squads===

{{main|Squad}}

'''Squads''' are the groups of soldiers that make up your military. Your military is led by the appointed '''[[militia commander]]''' (or, if the [[monarch]] is present, the [[general]]), and has many other squads led by '''militia captains''' (or [[captain]]s) under him. Creating a squad in the military screen is one of the first things you should do when starting your military.

===Equipping Soldiers===

{{main|Squad#Equipping Soldiers}}

Rather than simply pick a level of equipment and hope your dwarves pick up the right stuff, you can select what your dwarf will wear by item type or specific item, or create a new uniform template and apply it to a dwarf or entire squad all at once. Even the material and color of your soldiers' uniform is configurable. You can create identical armored units with intimidating red cloaks or just slap something together based on need and circumstance. Even artifact weapons/armor are selectable.

==Directing Soldiers==

Getting your military to actually ''do'' something is somewhat difficult. It is possible to give your squads different monthly '''schedules''', create different '''alert levels''' which will cause squads to follow out user-programmed instructions depending on circumstance, give '''direct orders''' to '''attack''' one or more specific targets or '''move''' to a specific location, or follow '''patrol routes''' and '''stations''' with greater accuracy.

There is a clear discrepancy between ''active'' orders and ''passive'' orders-- the latter is programming that a dwarf will follow to the letter and acts more as a defense method, and the former is used for taking the fight to the enemy. The ''squads'' menu is predominantly used for active commands, and the ''alert'' and ''scheduling'' menus are used for passive commands.

===Active Command===

{{main|Squad#Direct Commands}}

In the military, soldiers operate much more like part-time militiamen than full-time warriors. When soldiers are not passively doing their civilian duties or following their schedule programming, they can be actively sent to do small tasks to aggressively defend your fortress. After these orders have been carried out or cancelled, your dwarves will happily return to their passive programming as if they were never interrupted. It is possible to select multiple squads or specific dwarves to carry out these orders.

Your forces can be commanded to carry out two types of orders: '''Move''' orders and '''Attack''' (or '''kill''') orders. Move orders are much like the 'station squad' command in previous versions; your selected dwarves will run to wherever you've sent them. Similarly, attack orders will select an enemy (by location on screen, general area on screen, or list) and send your dwarves charging off that way.

Soldiers following orders will attack any hostiles they encounter on their way to their destination as well as wild animals and whatever other creatures they might encounter, whether you like it or not. As a result it is very difficult to attack members of an enemy group with any sort of precision, and if your dwarves cannot take down their target there is no real way to get them out of combat; it's do-or-die. It is unknown whether this is a bug or a feature.

Orders can be cancelled through the squads screen, but your dwarves tend to be so enthusiastic that they'll just ignore you in their bloodlust. This is likely a bug.

===Passive Command===

{{main|Scheduling}}

The '''alert level''' and '''scheduling''' system is a feature that is both incredibly versatile... and, initially, completely impenetrable. Once you learn the system, though, you will find that you barely need to manage your military at all. Effectively, a schedule is programming for a squad to follow within an alert, broken up by month, and alerts can be quickly and easily swapped in order to apply different schedules of your choosing to different squads of your choosing. Without scheduling, alert levels would do nothing; without alert levels scheduling would be horribly inefficient; the two functions co-exist and rely on each other.

It is possible to give your squads different monthly schedules, create different alert levels which will cause squads to follow out user-programmed instructions depending on circumstance, give direct orders to attack one or more specific targets or move to a specific location, or follow patrol routes and stations with greater accuracy. The entire system (including alert names) is completely configurable, and in time you will find yourself using complicated scheduling to rotate squads between training and defending/patrolling specified areas over the course of a year without any user input, or to start defending the fort entrance or trader route with a few easy key presses.

[[Civilian alert]] levels are also possible - civilians can be restricted by '''[[burrow]]''' to where they can roam should the need to tuck them away into a panic room arise. If a dwarf restricted to a burrow is not there, he will do his best to make the journey.

The scheduling screen is broken up into a list of squads, months, alert types and '''order criteria'''. Each order (applied to one month; multiple orders can be stacked on one month as well) can be given criteria to define how many dwarves within a squad will follow its programming at once, allowing you to make a few dwarves out of the squad active at a time while the rest go about their business or to make the entire squad always active for a matter of the utmost importance, foregoing food, sleep, and booze. You can also choose which positions in a squad the order will prefer to utilize when forcing a squad to follow it.

Four types of orders can be given (as well as the 'inactive' command), defining different types of patrolling or stationary defending. Squads can spar and be given combat demonstrations in the '''[[barracks]]''', defend a '''[[burrow]]''', patrol a '''route''', or defend a single '''station'''. The monthly schedules can be named so as to better suit your needs, and a copy/paste system is available to eliminate some of the tedium in creating fancy scheduling for many months. The display can also be flipped around.

Barracks can serve the needs of multiple specific squads at once. A barracks can be defined as a place to train, sleep, store squad equipment, store individual equipment, or any combination of the above, in any weird overlapping combination of barracks you like. Barracks are necessary for training.

When dwarves are being ordered to train, squad leaders will set up training classes for particular skills, or they will have dwarves spar. Any dwarves in the squad that don't qualify for these will default to individual training. In the current release, training classes are bugged where if a squad leader sets up a training class, he will wait forever (Or until you change his orders) for students, even if nobody shows up. Likewise, if students decide to request a class and the squad leader is doing individual training, they will wait for him to finish, even if they start starving. Thus, at the moment it's best to alternate your forced training schedules with downtime so the longest a dwarf will be stuck waiting is a game month (which isn't long enough to die), or just leave them off duty all the time and have them do individual training only, at least until this issue is fixed.

==Frequently Asked Questions==

{{main|Military F.A.Q.}}

==Bugs==
* When selecting new dwarves to place in a squad the cursor always returns to the first available dwarf instead of remaining where it is.
* There are still various problems with dwarves not equipping what they should; most notably, dwarves will not remove conflicting clothing to don assigned armor. Toggling to "replace clothing" is recommended, at least temporarily.{{bug|535}}
* Mining, Hunting, and Wood cutting labors have "invisible uniforms" that conflict with military uniforms (and each other).{{bug|1451}}
* Military dwarves going on duty carry any currently-hauled items with them to training, pickup equipment, and even into battle.{{bug|2561}}

'''Iguana men''' are humanoid versions of the common [[iguana]] and a [[Creature|species]] of unremarkable [[animal people]], found in [[savage]] [[tropical]] [[forest]]s. They are a little over half the size of an adult [[dwarf]] and spawn in groups of 1 to 3 individuals, who are unlikely to pose any danger to your fortress.

Like other savage animal people, iguana men may occasionally join [[civilization]]s, becoming full-fledged citizens who may appear in your fortress as [[visitor]]s or be playable in [[adventurer mode]].

Despite not being able to be butchered, iguana man products are worth twice as much as others.

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] iguana men for their ''dewlaps'' and their ''head bobs''.

ShinyandKittens: Changed quality rating from "Exceptional" to "Masterwork" using the rating script

{{Quality|Masterwork|02:54, 1 May 2018 (UTC)}}
{{av}}{{Category|Creatures}}
{{updated for v0.42|link=http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2014:Creature&oldid=223659}}

In ''Dwarf Fortress'', a '''creature''' is defined as any animate, normally-mobile (and for the sake of this article, non-[[vermin]]) being that can interact with the world. Although most creatures are animals, [[dwarf|dwarves]], [[giant cave spider]]s, and even [[megabeast]]s are all also considered creatures. Various creatures can and will interact with a fortress or adventurer in many different ways.

==Spawning==
The creatures that will spawn on any given fortress map depend on the biome(s) that the fortress is in. In addition, there are several [[creature token|creature tokens]] in the [[raws]] that deal with creature spawning:
*<tt>[FREQUENCY:X]</tt>: This tag dictates ''how often'' a creature will spawn. It ranges from 0 to 100, and is a comparative number, where the higher this number is, the more likely the creature is to spawn.
*<tt>[CLUSTER_NUMBER:X]</tt>: This determines ''how many'' creatures will appear at a time on a map.
*<tt>[POPULATION_NUMBER:X]</tt>: This determines the ''total number'' of this type of creature that can ever visit your fortress. The exact number varies, depending on the map, but, for example, a [[deer]] has a <tt>[POPULATION_NUMBER:15:30]</tt>, meaning that if you kill between 15 and 30 deer, no more deer will ever visit your fortress.

==Reading the Table==
{{CreatureCurrent table head}}
|}
The above columns indicate, in order:

'''Tile:''' The tile assigned to the creature, how you will see it without a graphic set.

'''Name:''' The name of the creature as it shows up in-game.

'''Playable:''' If "No", the creature is not playable in any modes. "Fort" indicates that the creature is playable in fortress mode ({{token|SITE_CONTROLLABLE|e}}). "Adv" indicates that the creature is playable in adventure mode. All creatures except humans must have a population in an {{token|ALL_MAIN_POPS_CONTROLLABLE|e}} civilization in order to be playable in adventure mode; goblins (and other creatures) cannot be played from a goblin civ. Humans can be played whether or not a population exists due to {{token|OUTSIDER_CONTROLLABLE|c}}, but an {{tt|[ALL_MAIN_POPS_CONTROLLABLE]}} civ still needed to have existed at some point. Creatures with {{token|LOCAL_POPS_CONTROLLABLE|c}} are also playable in adventure mode.

'''Hostile:''' If "Yes" then the creature will attack on sight, if "No" then the creature is either neutral or friendly. [[Undead]] creatures are always hostile to living things.

'''Food Source:''' If "Yes" then the creature can be butchered into edible substance that your dwarves will feed on.

'''Adult Body Size:''' The average size of the creature when an adult. This can be anywhere from 500 for a [[rabbit]] to 25,000,000 for a [[dragon]]. The creature's volume in cm3, which for creatures made of flesh more or less equals the creature's weight in grams.[http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=30026.msg831163#msg831163] These sizes do not correspond to the sizes which trigger [[pressure plate]]s. Size is modified with height and broadness (i.e. incredible skinny and short is below the average weight, while a fat and tall one is above it).

'''Pet Value:''' This is the value the creature can be bought and sold for as a [[pet]] during [[trading]].

'''Biome:''' Where the creature can be found.

'''Features:''' Any special features the creature possesses, these can include things such as [[cave blob|causing a syndrome]], [[dragon|breathing fire]], or [[giant cave spider|spinning webs]].

'''Guppies''' are a type of aquatic [[vermin]]. They are found in [[tropical]] [[river|rivers]] and [[lake|lakes]] year-round, and are a ready source of [[food]] when [[fish cleaning|cleaned]] at a [[fishery]].

Some [[dwarves]] [[Preferences|like]] guppies for their ''coloration''.

Live training

ShinyandKittens: /* Zerg Rush Defensive Program */ Removed - poorly written and unproven

{{Quality|Exceptional|21:54, 17 May 2015 (UTC)}}
{{av}}
'''Live training''' is the process of how to attack [[creature]]s with [[military]] [[dwarves]] (and be attacked by these creatures as well) with minimal or inexistent [[wound]]s in order to train your military's [[skill]]s, if you consider [[danger room]]s as an exploit, or don't want to randomly lose [[children]] or [[pet]]s, and find [[sparring]] and military [[training]] too slow.

There are many ways to do this. What you must ensure first is your dwarf's safety.

== Killing Wildlife ==

Just arm and armor your military, and gratuitously hunt wild [[animals]]. Note that some wild animals are more than capable of killing your dabbling [[soldier]]s, so you may want to scale the creature's threat to your dwarves' skill and equipment.

*'''Pros''':
**gets you raw [[meat]], [[bone]], [[skin]], and other body parts for your animal products industry
**gets rid of unwanted animals in the biome
**possibly will get you new, more interesting animals on the map to catch
**very easy to set up, no special infrastructure needed
**slaughtering wildlife is fun
**trains all skills
**very easy to set up with [[Crossbowman|marksdwarves]]: just make your dwarves [[hunter]]s
**good for killing [[giant kea]]s, [[mandrill]]s, and other animals who attempt to steal your property.

*'''Cons''':
**not the fastest training method
**possibly the most dangerous technique for dwarves
**can easily bring you too much meat and animal parts
**easily gets repetitive
**If training melee, dwarves spend a long time running after wildlife. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnHmskwqCCQ Feel free to listen to this while it happens.]
**above-ground wildlife supply isn't infinite
**may generate unwanted [[hauling]] jobs
**requires oversight (repetitive kill orders)
**trains offense much more than defense
**smaller, "safer" animals are typically faster, and larger animals can easily smash limbs and crush torsos through armor on less skilled dwarves

BONUS : Improve on this design by breeding wild non-[[grazer]]s in some room for your dwarves to slaughter the offspring periodically. It removes the limited wildlife problem, but still has most of the other drawbacks.

== Beating on Enemy Prisoners (aka Away with thee, accursed Geneva Convention!) ==

Quite a bit more efficient than the previous one, this consists of catching intelligent enemies in [[trap]]s, making sure they are unarmed but still [[armor]]ed, then sending them against your armor-clad dwarves equipped with [[training weapon]]s. You can kill them or not : see the bonus.

'''Pros''':
*decent training speed
*beating on goblins is fun
*infinite supply of enemies
*quite safe if executed (no pun intended) correctly.
*trains all skills
*killing sentients increases discipline
'''Cons''':
*goblins are trained as well (although this may be a good thing: see bonus) if you don't kill them
*still requires enough oversight to be a bother, most especially if you don't want wounds
*for more [[fun]] don't remove the goblins' weapons
*goblins tend to die easily due to poor armor coverage, you must replace a new batch
*if you use [[training weapon]]s : dwarves may grow attached to them
*generates hauling jobs
*as offensive skills improve and goblin skill stays the same, dwarves tend to kill goblins far too easily, making this method less effective as your dwarves improve.

BONUS : Don't kill goblins. Train them as well, making them increase in skill and try not to kill them. Use different batches of different goblins for differently skilled military dwarves. Make an arena design with dropping bridges and cage traps to stop the fight if it is going badly for your dwarf. While this requires a lot of oversight (possibly too much for your taste) and hauling jobs, this is a generally effective, realistic, complete and relatively quick method of training your military.

== Bronze Colossus Dummy ==

AKA : using a [[bronze colossus]]'s toughness and high experience gains to get good skills easily and safely.

For marksdwarves : catch the colossus, put it in a room, fire on it. You may want to use wooden/bone bolts to not damage it further, or iron bolts if you WANT to damage it further for melee training.
For melee : Remove its arms and legs via falling and/or bolts, and then drop the colossus on a closed room, and send your melee dwarves on it. Remember, [[steel]] or better weapons will kill it, and that's not what you want.

'''Pros''':
*very good training speed, due to colossus giving a lot of experience
*generally not dangerous
*infinite training
*little oversight needed, since both sides doesn't do much damage
*easy to set up for marksdwarves
'''Cons''':
*endgame only, you don't get a colossus before 80 dwarves
*must actually have a colossus in the world
*the colossus must actually attack your fortress to be captured
*dismembering a colossus without killing it isn't easy
*may be dangerous to dwarves with a low dodging skill
*limitation on quality material weapons => dwarf may tend to favor a poor weapon
*trains mostly offense skills, although Dodger as well
*melee may be seen as an exploit
*the colossus will eventually be "pulped" by any attacks that are able to bypass their natural toughness

== Undead Battle Arena ==

Using one or several imprisoned [[necromancer]]s to train your dwarves with a controlled stream of [[undead]].

You must first catch one or several necromancers, or use a friendly necromancer, then dump him/them in a small space (if possible 1x1) surrounded by [[window]]s or [[fortification]]s (so he can animate what is around without being murdered by a dwarf), make an animation room. You can replace the necromancer with an animating [[evil]] biome or a [[demonic fortress]], but necromancers raise undead faster and can be moved anywhere you like. As a bonus, add raising [[bridge]]s or [[floodgate]]s to block the necro's view and stop the reanimation on command.

Then drop whatever pile of [[body parts]] you don't need and want your necromancer to animate.

*'''Pros''':
**decent skill increases
**only little hauling needed
**use for necromancers
**Does not require low-quality weapons, allowing dwarves to become attached to better weapons then other methods
**requires little oversight
**trains every skill
**controllable training aspects : difficulty level, depending on corpse (from dropping llama [[wool]] to dropping a [[cave dragon]] corpse) and number of corpses animated
*'''Cons''':
**can be dangerous, actually danger is proportional to your oversight and difficulty level
**requires more stonework than most other methods
**requires to actually cage trap a necromancer
**time between two reanimations is wasted time => more necromancers is better

== Giant Cave Spider Armor Training Program ==

Using a [[giant cave spider]]'s inability to bypass the armor of a webbed dwarf to train [[armor user]].

First you must prepare the terrain to separate wild GCS and dwarf when the dwarf gets hungry/thirsty/drowsy/sufficient armor user skill.

Set the training on a non-lethal pit trap consisting of a 2x2 or 3x3 retracting bridge, or a series of grates, all linked to a lever and on top of a 1z-deep pit. Fill the ground under the bridge with cage traps.

Set a military dwarf fully armored in metal, without any weapons against a wild giant cave spider. Wild GCS webs the still-conscious dwarf, wild GCS attempts a bite to the head but fails to penetrate metal armor. Dwarf gains armor user skill. Repeat a hundred times. You may want to find a way of harvesting silk for your [[loom]]s as well.

When you want to stop the training, pull the lever. Bridge or grates go down, dwarf and spider fall 1 z-level and get stunned, one or both get caged and separated.

You can also try a dwarf without full armor and only a metal helm, but in that case I no longer guarantee the safety of your dwarf.

*'''Pros''':
**can double as a GCS [[silk farm]]
**very good training rates
**Useful skill which normally increases slowly in combat
**No danger at all for both dwarf and GCS, provided you armored your dwarf well
**Requires only oversight each month
*'''Cons''':
**slightly exploity
**trains only one skill
**needs quite a bit of work to set up if you want to save the GCS and reuse it
**can't train several dwarves at once unless you have several wild GCS and several training facilities

== Provoking elven sieges for fun and profit ==

No one likes the elves. No one. Well, except when they bring exotic animals and the occasional [[sun berry]].

So why not train your military on live elves? Obviously not with on caravans that come each year, but on their [[siege]]s!

You must first mod your game to allow the elven [[diplomat]] to come, or start in a world where you are at war with the elves. When he comes, [[military|greet]] [[attack|him]] [[trap|properly]]. Then, [[siege|training]] [[elf|partners]] will come around eventually.

Alternatively, in v0.45, you can raid an elven [[forest retreat]] to initiate war. This has the advantage that if you have elven trading partners, they will continue to travel through elf [[corpse]]s to bring you their exotic animals.

*'''Pros:'''
**killing elves is great fun
**elves pose little threat to a serious military... as long as your dwarves have shields
**more [[rope reed]] [[clothing]] than your fortress needs, although you may deem it not dwarven enough to wear
**can be made more manageable by cage [[trap]]ping all elf warriors and releasing them into your barracks

*'''Cons:'''
**may generate large amounts of unwanted items (although all the wooden and cloth stuff can be used as trade "goods")
**may be too [[fun]] to handle for your civilians and untrained military, [[bow]]s being still overpowered
**may be a danger to other caravans

'''Cave blobs''' are small rare [[creature]]s who inhabit the third layer of the [[cavern]]s. They lack [[bone]]s or any kind of internal organs, and instead are filled with orange fluid which causes mild, short-term [[Syndrome|harm]] in the form of painful blisters on other creatures when ingested or made contact with. The blob's skin is covered in this fluid as well, so touching it is enough to potentially contract its syndrome. This fluid leaks out if the creature’s skin is pierced, spilling the fluid everywhere. They are genderless, emotionless, have no need to breathe and are immune to [[No Stun|stunning]] or nausea, but due to their small size and fragile composition, an unarmed [[dwarf]] should be able to dispatch one without breaking a sweat. Cave blobs have no attacks other than a default [[push]], which will glance away from just about anything.

Cave blobs may be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into low-value [[pet]]s. The only products gained by the [[butcher]]ing of a cave blob are a [[skin]] for your [[leatherworker]]s and a few pools of cave blob fluid, which can be drunk in [[adventurer mode]] to satiate thirst. Cave blobs are biologically immortal and only die from violence, so in case one of your dwarves is weird enough to adopt them, they'll potentially last forever.

Unlike most creatures, they can't be spawned in the [[object testing arena]].

Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] cave blobs for their ''bright orange color''.

Caste

{{Quality|Fine|02:24, 23 April 2018 (UTC)}}
{{av}}
''Not to be confused with [[cast|casts]]''

A caste is a means of defining a sub-species within the broader creature definition. When a creature is spawned, they are made into a randomly determined caste of the creature, using either equal weighting (by default), or the POP_RATIO tag. Castes were originally conceived mainly for male/female distinction, and in vanilla DF, mostly serve the purpose of making males and females differ.

Caste-level definitions of a creature may be (and, in the vanilla raws, often are) defined for all castes at once.

The entire skeleton (that is, the BODY: tag) and tissue structure of creatures are moddable on a caste level, which allows for creatures with radically different body types (such as a giant spider and a human) to share the same "species".

In fact, virtually every creature-level token is apparently caste-level moddable. The only tags that are believed to buck this trend are the BIOME tag, which would create a race incapable of breeding with itself, if used improperly by segregating males and females, and MEGABEAST tag, presumably to prevent megabeasts from breeding. Also, the vermin related tags are in the creature-level.

This also means it is possible to make [INTELLIGENT] caste-level moddable, and then make, among other things, ''male dwarves who are milkable'', thanks to the extreme power of the moddability of the raws.

Some bugs are possible through modding, such as creating "fractal bodies" by defining the BODY tag in the creature level, and then creating a new caste-level definition of the creature. This generates duplicate body parts which increase in number the further away they are from the Upper Body part, with six upper arms, eight lower arms, and ten hands.

Please mod responsibly.

=== Selecting Castes ===

[CASTE:<CASTE_NAME>] defines a caste called <CASTE_NAME>. Tags following this affect only this caste.

[SELECT_CASTE:ALL] state the following tags affect all Castes

[SELECT_CASTE:<CASTE_1>]

[SELECT_ADDITIONAL_CASTE:<CASTE_2>]

[SELECT_ADDITIONAL_CASTE:<CASTE_3>], etc., is used to specify that tags affect a subset of Castes

'''Wood Cutter''' is a [[skill]] that allows a dwarf to chop down [[tree]]s with an [[axe]], turning them into [[wood]] logs. As wood is an essential resource, this is an important skill. As with other skills, it's developed with practice. Higher levels of the skill make felling trees quicker.

A dwarf must have the '''Wood Cutting''' [[labor]] enabled in order to chop down trees. It's a subset of "woodworking", together with [[carpentry]] and [[crossbow-making]]. This labor is also mutually exclusive with [[mining]], probably because like mining it requires a tool to be equipped.

If you [[embark]] using the "Play Now!" option, one of the seven settlers will be a Novice Wood Cutter with the appropriate labor enabled.

== Cutting down trees ==

Trees need to be designated to be cut down. Specifically, designating any of the trunk tiles of a tree will do.

# Press {{K|d}}esignate to bring up the [[Designations Menu]].
# Select the "Chop Down Trees" action (press {{k|t}}).
#* If you open the menu when the center of the screen is above ground, this option will be already selected.
# Move the cursor to the starting point, then press {{K|enter}}. You should see a green flashing cross symbol indicating that it's in Selection Mode.
# Move the cursor to another point to define the opposite corners of a rectangle, press {{K|enter}} again. The trunk tiles of the trees that were in the rectangle should be highlighted, indicating that they will be chopped down.
#* Tiles can also be designated by using the mouse and left-clicking.

After the trees are designated, any idle dwarf with the Wood Cutting labor enabled and an axe equipped will start chopping them down. As with other tasks, the most recently designated target is processed first.

[[Image:tree-kills-woodcutter.png|400px|thumb|And you thought that your job was bad.]]

Trees can be cut from any point, not only from ground level, but in all cases, after the dwarf is done cutting, the tree transforms into a pile of logs that fall to the ground in a direction opposite from where the cutter was standing. The logs are not treated as falling objects--they cannot hurt any creatures they land on--but any objects previously sitting upon the tree (e.g. logs from previously felled trees, bolts, corpses, etc.) will fall with standard Dwarf Fortress lethality.

== Axes ==
A dwarf needs to have an equipped edged [[axe]] to chop down trees. If a dwarf has the Wood Cutting labor enabled but doesn't have an axe, they will pick up any available one from a stockpile. Thankfully, any immigrant that arrives with the wood cutting labor enabled will be carrying an axe.

There are no special axes for woodcutting; the dwarfs use [[battle axe]]s. Unlike [[weapon|axes in combat]] though, the quality or material of an axe appears to have no effect on any aspect of wood cutting - a [[quality|no-quality]] [[copper]] axe is the same as a masterwork [[steel]] or [[adamantine]] axe. However, wood cutters will no longer use axes without edges, such as wooden [[training weapon|training axe]]s.

Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to assign woodcutters the same axe to use in the [[military]] as to use in civilian labour.{{bug|1451}}

== Tips ==
* As felling trees is usually done away from your fortress, it is an inherently dangerous activity in hostile areas, and care must be taken to ensure that the woodcutters are not killed by hostile [[creature]]s or [[ambush]]ed. It may be helpful to assign woodcutters a war [[dog]] or other work animal.
* If the tile under the tree's trunk is mined out, cutting it down will remove the ground tile, creating a hole.
* Wood production can be sped up if the woodcutters have the [[haul|wood hauling]] labor disabled, so they can focus on cutting more trees instead of hauling the logs from the last one to the nearest wood [[stockpile]].
* Felled trees fall safely, but any objects that were previously supported by the tree will fall downward with standard Dwarf Fortress lethality. Care must be taken to ensure that the woodcutters do not kill other friendly creatures.
* A single fully-grown tree can provide well over ten logs, making a wood-powered metal industry easy to maintain.
* If you remove the woodcutting labour of your only woodcutter, his axe may be taken by the military as well as all axes made subsequently. If you assign a new dwarf woodcutting, then they will do nothing, as they cannot find an axe. To solve this, disband your military temporarily, the woodcutter will pick up an axe, and you can them re-make your military squads.
* Many products can be made with materials other than wood. Wood cutting is a skill you could probably turn off and on as necessary, unless you need a continuous supply of wood for beds, charcoal, ash, or siege weapon parts and ammo.
* [[Herbalist]]s can gather fruit and nuts from a lot of trees. Clear cutting a large area will lower your food production if you rely a lot on herbalists. Underground trees do not produce fruit.
* Sometimes dwarves or livestock can get stuck in trees. Cutting down the tree is generally a bad idea, since the creature will take a lot of damage on impact with the ground. Build a staircase up to the branches instead.
* Due to a bug, the wood cutting labor conflicts with military uniforms. A military dwarf with wood cutting enabled will drop his uniform when transitioning to civilian duty. To avoid problems it is recommended you keep your military and wood cutters separate.
* If you are unable to designate a tree to be cut down, check the higher levels. If an upper level of the tree is already designated for cutting, the "Ground-Floor" trunk will not also be designated, and the tree will not be cut down.

== Trivia ==
{{D for Dwarf}}
In order to relieve the brainless monotony (aka Dwarven bliss) experienced by wood cutters, the diminutive log choppers often engage in competitive singing whilst whacking away at their arboreal nemeses, such that raucous renditions of the perpetually popular tune "I am a lumberjack and I'm OK" can be heard echoing throughout the timbered valleys found near their fortresses at ever increasing levels of volume. The overall loudness of the rendition is apparently the most critical value used to determine the winner. Unfortunately, this singing is fairly detrimental to overall harvesting productivity, as by the time most singers lay in to the third verse of the song, they have either convulsed into blithering (and debilitating) laughter, or they have run off to taunt the elves with their massive tooth picks whilst wearing their best cross dressing outfits (see further).

Sadly, wood cutters often fall victim to raiding Goblins, as their cacophonous singing leads the Goblins straight to them just as they are in a state of vocal euphoria, and are thus easy prey for the grimy gobbos. That said, there have been instances when their singing has soothed the savagery of nearby beasts, but reports of this are scarce as most Dwarves are unwilling to admit their feat, for fear that it might be seen as undwarflike (aka cowardly).

Some Dwarves have been known to carry on their person very large toothpicks, with which they clean their rather massive molars. These toothpicks are crafted by the woodcutters (in their off hours), sometimes using an entire tree to manufacture a single pick. Wood cutters take significant pride in the size of their toothpicks, which, in a pinch, can often double for poles used in pole vaulting contests (another popular Dwarven pass-time, an event usually called the 'Pole-Toss'). Thus the origin of the phrases "Go toss your pole" and "Is that a lumberjack's toothpick in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" are explained.

{{creaturedesc}}

'''Elves''' (singular, '''Elf''') are <s>smelly, stuck-up, arrogant [[tree]]-fondling hippies</s> [[Creature|humanoids]] dedicated to the protection of ''their'' concept of nature (focused on trees).

Elven caravans arrive in late spring, bringing only [[plant]]-related and [[wood]]-related items, [[cage]]d tame animals, various types of [[clay]] and [[sand]]. During [[trade]], elves will '''not''' accept wood, wooden items or any goods [[Decoration|decorated]] with wood. This includes ''clear'' and ''crystal'' [[glass]] items and [[soap]], because wood-derived [[lye]] and [[pearlash]] are used in their production, however, ash-[[glaze]]d items are acceptable. Dwarves cannot normally decorate objects with wood, but other civilizations can, so be careful with objects with decorations. Elves bring their own "grown" wooden items. Those were presumably produced without cutting down trees. Elves will accept elf-made wooden items in trade, but not wooden items made by anyone else. Be careful not to offer them your wooden [[bin]]s or [[barrel]]s, or [[quiver]]s containing wooden [[bolt]]s/[[arrow]]s. If the contents of bins are marked for trade individually, and are not wooden themselves, the elves will not care that you used wooden bins to haul the goods to the depot. You may also steal from them or even kill/torture them without fear of repercussion: merchants will not resist if you seize their goods and will not competently fight back if attacked.

Elves will generally '''accept''' items made of green glass, stone, metal, bone and other refuse, silk, leather, plant fiber cloth, meat and fish, totems, and even plants. They will accept animals in trade, as long as those are not held in dwarf-made wooden cages. They also accept ''raw'' clear glass and ''raw'' crystal glass, even though they are made using [[pearlash]]. Despite the name, petrified wood is a kind of stone and therefore acceptable. (Apparently it's okay if the tree died of natural causes a long time ago.)

Offending elves by attempting to trade wooden items normally causes them to refuse further trade this year and leave early. Repeatedly offending elves by attempting to trade wooden items may cause them to attack your fortress with an [[ambush]], which may later evolve into a full [[siege]].

They have no facial hair but rarely they have at least stubble. Like [[goblin]]s, they are biologically immortal and will only die to violence and disease. Elves speak the [[Main:Elvish language|elvish language]].

Some <s>stupid, useless, treefondling traitors</s> dwarves [[Preferences|like]] elves for their ''"""grace"""''.

==Fortress mode==
===Diplomats===
The elven diplomat will arrive approximately halfway through the first month in spring. At some point the diplomat may revisit your fortress to establish a treecutting quota.

[[File:Tree-meeting-1.png]]

Although the first screen lists a quota of 100 trees, accepting this offer leads to a negotiation phase where the limit may be different from 100.

[[File:Tree-meeting-2.png]]

[[File:Tree-meeting-3.png]]

If the player agrees to a treecutting meeting, it will be visible after selecting the elves in the Civilizations screen and pressing Tab a few times.

[[File:Tree-meeting-4.png]]

Note that the quota is measured in trees, not logs, so be sure to fell only the largest trees on your map to get the most out of your agreement.

=== Trading ===

List of what you can expect in an average elven caravan:
*Wooden logs: Always useful, unless you are in a forest biome and already drowning in wooden logs. Quantity depending on how many logs you have already; lower means more. However, caravans with grown logs tend to be rare.
*Fruits and various other growths from [[tree]]s. Can be made into alcohol or eaten. Good for booze variety. Elves can bring a lot of plants and fruit that are otherwise not native to your fort.
*Wooden containers: [[Container|chests]], [[cage]]s, [[bucket]]s, and [[barrel]]s. These all are useful, though generally are easy enough to make locally.
*Soil types: [[sand]] in bags, various types of [[clay]]. In case you have no sand or clay, those are useful. Keep in mind they don't bring enough of either for long term, mass production.
*[[Bag]]s and [[rope]]s made from plant cloth. You already should have those, but a few extra bags never hurt, although plant cloth bags are a bit expensive.
*A few aboveground tame animals in wooden cages. May be [[opossum|a]] [[stoat|disappointingly]] [[fox|useless]] [[hoary marmot|animal]] or [[Giant badger|an]] [[Giant tiger|incredibly]] [[Giant desert scorpion|awesome]] [[Giant eagle|one]]. Elves bring the animals they get from their biome, so you may be able to guess what will they bring next. For that matter, elves installed on savage tropical lands are the best. Exotic animals are considered fully tame and will never require [[Animal trainer|training]].
*Caged tame [[vermin]], which has no real use aside from putting in a [[zoo]], or if you want more cages.
*Rope reed or other plant cloth [[clothing]], mildly useful if you are in lack of clothing and haven't bothered setting up a clothing industry. Although you may not deem it dwarven enough to wear.
*Wooden [[crutch]]es and [[Health_care#Splints|splint]]s, which are pretty handy for [[health care]] if you didn't make any.
*Wooden [[armor]] and [[weapon]]s, which are generally useless unless you are [[trap]]-happy, lack metal, or restricting yourself to wooden weapons.
*Craft goods, such as toys or cups. Typically, it isn't necessary to buy these since dwarves can make all that they need on their own, but elves might carry [[instrument]]s that dwarves cannot make.

All wooden products made by elves are called "grown". Unlike regular wood, these may be traded back to the elves without repercussion. Otherwise they are identical to the wood that you can produce.

==Ethics==

Elven ''[[civilization]]'' [[ethics]] often differ from those of other races. Their position on moral philosophy will likely put them at odds with [[human]]s, [[goblin]]s, [[dwarf|dwarves]], and sometimes [[kobold]]s and animal-people, although they favor war with goblins over other races. At any given point in time, elves and dwarves are likely to be at peace, but it is certainly possible for an elven civilization to be at war with a dwarven one at the end of worldgen. Use the tab button when selecting an [[embark]] site to view whether elves are at war with the currently selected dwarven culture, and cycle dwarven cultures to find out.

As ghastly as the concept may be, elven cultures have become more powerful since the days of [[Main:Tholtig|Tholtig Cryptbrain]], and it is entirely possible for one or more dwarven civilizations to be extinct due to elven aggression. What elves lack in engineering, crafting, intelligence, bravery, skill, or hygiene, they make up for in raw, unwashed numbers, and once-mighty dwarven civilizations may crumble to the hordes. Embarking with (possibly homeless wandering survivor) dwarves claiming to be from that civilization is possible, but always starts at war with the elves that claimed those poor souls' lives, and you may not get migrants.

Elves are the only race which wholeheartedly accepts the devouring of enemy combatants. Looking in legends mode shows that an elven combatant will sometimes devour the other person they were fighting when they win. In spite of this, elves refuse to butcher and consume intelligent beings under other conditions. Elves find torturing as an example acceptable, but condemn other forms of torture and consider torturing for information misguided. To elves, keeping any trophy of any kind is an unthinkable act. Elves begrudgingly allow for killing animals when done in self-defense, and the killing of other elves by an elf is justified if there is an extremely good reason for doing so. For elves, the killing of plants, ''especially'' trees, is unthinkable. On the other hand, the killing of neutral beings and enemies is acceptable. Elven society seems to be regulated by shame from the community, rather than by threat of punishment. As such, elves never offer serious or capital punishment to criminals; instead, elves found to have committed vandalism, trespassing or theft are reprimanded, while those convicted of treason, lying, breaking oaths, assault or participating in slavery are forced into exile.

Elves [[Personality_trait|value]] nature incredibly highly, and they also place a degree of value on family, eloquence, cunning, artwork, fairness, merriment, competition and romance. Elves do not especially respect commerce and have a dislike for self-control.

Note that these are merely the ethics of elven civilizations. Elves may adopt the cultures of other races via wandering individuals joining civilizations, or when conquest absorbs elves into another civilization. Sentient creatures adopt the values and ethics of their culture, regardless of race. Elves living among, [[Main:Cacame Awemedinade|or even leading]], dwarves will have dwarven ethics and values, and vice versa.

==Community outlook==
Due to ''Dwarf Fortress'' making ample use of the "elves are stuck-up jerks who live in trees" stereotype (which is especially noticeable when talking to their diplomats), the race as a whole tends to be widely disliked by players, who aren't too happy about said stuck-up jerks trying to tell their dwarves how to live their lives. Unlike goblins, however, elves are rarely considered a threat due to their insistence in using equipment purely made out of wood in battle, which is only marginally better than fighting unarmed and generally stands no chance against a half-competent, metal-clad dwarven militia. Because of this, elves have a reputation among the community of being all-bark-and-no-bite wimps who serve as the perfect punching bags to be on the receiving end of whatever [[stupid dwarf trick]] the fortress is currently conducting, especially if it's a particularly [[Fun|violent]] one. If a player is telling a story about a gruesome incident of sorts, there's a high chance it'll involve at least one elf as the victim.

The elves' rabid love for trees is also a point of note; many players will go as far as to raze their map clean of trees, for no reason but to spite the elves and provoke them into attacking, just for the chance to slaughter them all. Unlike most fantasy settings, ''Dwarf Fortress'' elves don't really have any redeeming characteristics (they aren't anymore attractive than a dwarf, human or goblin, aren't good smiths, don't have any superhuman abilities beyond biological immortality), though most long-time players plays their antics for laughs, resulting in them essentially being the community's collective chew toys.

Being compared to an elf is particularly insulting, as it implies you're an unwashed, tree-loving, cannibalistic hippie. That's not to say that elves are universally disliked, however: some have earned the liking of the player base, typically due to them being part of a dwarven civilization (and as such not acting like elves), with [[Main:Cacame Awemedinade|Cacame Awemedinade]] being one of the community's most well known and beloved characters.

ShinyandKittens: Changed quality rating from "Exceptional" to "Masterwork" using the rating script

{{Quality|Masterwork|11:43, 21 April 2018 (UTC)}}
{{av}}
''See also: [[Combat skill]]''

'''Skills''' are used by dwarves to accomplish almost every task in the game. A higher level of a skill allows a dwarf to accomplish the respective task more quickly and/or more effectively. Whenever a skill is used, [[experience]] is gained for that skill, allowing the dwarf to progress to higher skill levels.

If a dwarf does not use a skill for a prolonged period of time, the skill will be labeled "rusty." If the rusty skill continues to remain unused, it will eventually be labeled "very rusty," or "V rusty" in game. Skills remaining at very rusty for prolonged periods of time will gradually suffer permanent experience loss. It is not possible in-game to know whether a given skill has suffered level loss, but any utility capable of reading exact XP levels will show a skill with a lost level as being at 100% of the XP required to take it to the next skill level. See [[#Skill rust|Rust]] below for more details.

To determine what skills a dwarf has, press {{K|v}} and highlight the dwarf, then press {{K|g}} to ensure you are on the general information page. The skills will be grouped into three toggleable types: {{K|c}}ombat, la{{K|b}}or and {{K|m}}iscellaneous skills. Included on the list are the levels of each skill, and, if applicable, "rusty" or "V rusty" notifications.

== Skills in use ==
Skills are never referred to in-game by "level number", but for all practical purposes, that is how they are treated by the game. "Dabbling" is not functionally a level, with "Novice" being level 1, and "Legendary" being any level 15 and up.

All skills take (400 + 100 * the new level) experience points to gain a level, meaning Novice takes 500 experience points, and reaching Legendary from Grand Master takes 1900 experience points, or 18000 total experience.

Many skills can gain practical levels beyond level 15, or "Legendary". Crafting skills with quality have a functional maximum of level 20, or "Legendary +5" as it is often called. This is used in determining [[item quality]], where skill level is tested with a series of "dice rolls" against successively higher targets. A Legendary +5 dwarf has a skill level of 20, which means they are guaranteed exceptional quality (quality level 4) unless they "critically fail" one of the quality rolls, and they additionally have a fairly decent percentage roll to succeed at making a masterwork. [[Attributes]] and [[trait]]s now play a role in crafting, however, so there are subtle layers of complexity in that.

Labors with or without quality often have a time period associated with them, and skill levels reduce this significantly. Legendary +5 can eliminate all time required to do a job down to a single action, exponentially increasing productivity.

Combat skills can scale upwards to a functionally impossible to reach degree, meaning that simply reaching Legendary in a combat skill only means they've just started climbing the ranks of the legendary warriors of Dwarf Fortress. A Legendary +100 warrior will more regularly hit and deal more damage than a "mere" Legendary +10, although it takes nearly three-quarters of a million more experience points to get there.

==Skill penalties==
Dwarves that are [[status icon|hungry, tired, or thirsty]] will work slower and produce lower quality goods. The latter is unimportant for some tasks such as wood cutting or furnace operating but you may want to halt construction of [[platinum]] [[statue]]s or [[steel]] [[armor|breastplates]] if that [[smith]] is famished or hollow-eyed from lack of sleep.

==Skills, attributes and traits==
*'''Skills''':

**the same [[attribute]] can be trained by various skills.
**it's assumed that the skills also use some of the [[attribute]]s that they train.

**affect which [[social skill]]s gain experience ''(if the dwarf has X trait it will not gain experience in X skill)'' at all.
**have other in-game effects that can be useful for certain professions.
**give [[thought]]s when performing certain activities.

To summarize it goes like this:
Trait --> Skill <--> Attribute
| ^
v |
affect |
| v
'--> Profession

Since the same skills can be used by various professions, and the same [[attribute]]s are trained by various skills, this allows for [[cross-training]].

Being [[Personality trait|traits]] the unmodifiable{{verify}}, limiting factor on which skills can be learned or having useful effects, and certain professions requiring various skills, the need arises to:
*avoid appointing a dwarf that will never learn a certain skill to a profession that uses it:
**''appointing a [[Personality trait|straightforward]] dwarf as a [[broker]] will result in a [[consoler]], non-[[flatterer]], non-[[liar]] [[broker]]''.
*appoint a dwarf with a useful effect given by a [[Personality trait|trait]] to a profession that benefits from it:
**''appointing an [[Personality trait|undisciplined]] dwarf to an important job will result in [[fun|fun]]''.
**''appointing an [[Personality trait|angry]] dwarf to [[soldier]] will result in more [[Status_icon|enraged]] bonuses.

==Skill rust==
Every skill has the following set of improvement and decay counters, which are caste specific:

{{token|SKILL_RATE|c}} (Default is {{token|SKILL_RATE|cr|100:8:16:16}})
* % of improvement points you get (Default 100)
* unused counter rate (Default 8)
* rust counter rate (Default 16)
* demotion counter rate (Default 16)

The unused counter starts incrementing while a dwarf isn't using a skill. Once it reaches the cap, it will reset to zero, and the rust counter rate will increment by 1. This continues until the rust counter's cap is reached, and then the demotion counter is incremented by 1, and the rust counter is reset to zero. When the demotion counter finally reaches its cap, a 'layer' of rust is added to the skill, and the demotion counter is reset to zero.

The {{DFtext|Rusty}} and {{DFtext|V.Rusty}} descriptions which are appended to a skill within Dwarf Fortress are determined by the following conditions:

*Rusty: A skill level greater than 0 and less than 4, and the skill level * 0.5 <= the number of rust layers.
*Very Rusty: A skill level greater than or equal to 4, and the skill level * 0.75 <= the number of rust layers.

For example, a level 3 skill with 4 layers of rust: 3 * 0.5 = 1.5 which is less than the 4 layers of rust, so it's a Rusty skill. A level 8 with 6 layers of rust: 8 * 0.75 = 6 which is equal to the layers of rust, so it's a Very Rusty skill.

In testing it appears that the layers of rust are limited to a maximum of 6. If the counters reach the maximum and it attempts to increase to a 7th layer of rust, all counters are stopped, and the 'Rusty' and 'V. Rusty' descriptions are erroneously removed from the skill descriptions within Dwarf Fortress.

==Performances==

Randomly generated musical [[instrument]]s and musical compositions are also considered skills and gain experience from use, though it is not clear how greater skill levels affect anything or if these performance-related skills rust.

*Very Rusty: A skill level greater than or equal to 4, and the skill level * 0.75 <= the number of rust layers.

For example, a level 3 skill with 4 layers of rust: 3 * 0.5 = 1.5 which is less than the 4 layers of rust, so it's a Rusty skill. A level 8 with 6 layers of rust: 8 * 0.75 = 6 which is equal to the layers of rust, so it's a Very Rusty skill.

In testing it appears that the layers of rust are limited to a maximum of 6. If the counters reach the maximum and it attempts to increase to a 7th layer of rust, all counters are stopped, and the 'Rusty' and 'V. Rusty' descriptions are erroneously removed from the skill descriptions within Dwarf Fortress.

==Performances==

Randomly generated musical [[instrument]]s and musical compositions are also considered skills and gain experience from use, though it is not clear how greater skill levels affect anything or if these performance-related skills rust.

Keeping your dwarves unstressed

2018-04-20T00:40:16Z

ShinyandKittens: Added some tips

{{Quality|Fine|12:20, 1 February 2015 (UTC)}}
{{av}}

Some tips on how to keep your [[Dwarf|dwarves]] [[stress]]-free, thus reducing the chances of [[tantrum]]s, [[depression]]s and [[oblivious]]ness:

==Specific Dwarves==
* Using a tool such as [[Utilities#Dwarf Therapist|Dwarf Therapist]], you can sort dwarves by stress level. There you can hold the mouse over the stress square to see the reasons why the dwarves are stressed and address them. Look up their preferences and assign the dwarves jobs that match their preferences, and build stuff they like especially in their rooms.
* Dwarves that are highly prone to stress, i.e. a high [[Personality trait|STRESS_VULNERABILITY]] trait, are not suitable for the military or as [[nobles]]. You will have to remove them from these duties and in extreme cases isolate them with burrows to insulate them from [[Thought|stress-inducing stimuli]]. You might be able to get away with giving high-stress dwarves a "vacation" or demote them for example from a Captain to a mere soldier. Also don't give high-stress dwarves the Refuse Hauling labor, since they often handle dead bodies.
* Dwarves who have to go outside for extended periods of time (like [[Fisherdwarf|fisherdwarves]] who work near the local [[lake]] or [[river]]) become stressed due to constant exposure to [[rain]] and long periods away from fun and their friends. You can give these workers their own little vacation by disabling their labors and letting them spend some time inside at the [[tavern]] until they regain their composure. Let an unstressed dwarf take care of the job for a while.

==Food and Drink==
* Make the community [[dining room]] your non-[[noble]] dwarves dine in high [[room#quality|quality]]. You can increase its quality by making the room bigger, putting in more [[chair]]s and [[throne]]s, [[smoothing]] and [[engraving]] it, and putting in valuable [[furniture]] like [[gold]] [[statue]]s.
* [[Embark]] with or train up a [[cook]], so your dwarves can enjoy high [[quality]] [[food|meals]].
* Make sure you never run out of [[booze]], since a sober dwarf is a stressed dwarf.
** Make sure to have at least two different kinds of booze on hand, since dwarves will get bored if there's no variety in their drinks.
** Try to have all different varieties of booze on hand, since dwarves get a happy thought when they drink their [[preference|preferred]] booze.

==Living Quarters==
* Give your dwarves individual [[bedroom]]s rather than making them live in a communal [[dormitory]]. Not only will they get a good thought from sleeping in their own bedroom, they'll get good thoughts from admiring the furniture they own. Even a minimalist bedroom - a 1x1 grid containing only a bed, within a communal dormitory - helps significantly.
* Give then a bedroom to sleep in anyway, as dwarves do not enjoy sleeping on the ground.
* Improve the bedrooms by making them of respectable size, smoothing/engraving the ground, and adding basic furniture such as coffers.
* If you still wish to use a communal bedroom to protect your dwarves from [[vampire]]s, designate each bed as a room itself. This way dwarves can keep an eye on each other and still have their own rooms.
** Overlapping the bedrooms will reduce the overall value of each "room" but a high enough overall room value can overcome this.
** You can also make the shared suites large enough that the bedroom designations do not overlap.
** Overlapping won't create an additional reduction in value after a certain point; it is quite easy to give everyone a royal-bedroom this way.
* Make the Noble’s rooms better than other rooms. They have the insane ability to tell if the peasantry has slept better than them and it makes them unhappy.

==Fortress Improvements==
* Place highly valuable [[furniture]], if possible artifacts, in a high traffic area of your fort, since dwarves get a positive thought if they pass right next to or over expensive furniture.
* Dwarves who [[cave adaptation|spend most of their time underground]] will become stressed when exposed to sunlight. If the dwarves who need to work outside aren't already regularly exposed to sunlight, put some combination of these high traffic areas on the surface:
** [[activity zone#Meeting Area|Meeting area]] or [[sculpture garden|Statue garden]] - Won't catch dwarves that never idle.
** [[Dining room]] - Will need to ensure nobles that have private dining rooms have another means.
** [[Booze]] stockpile - Requires a custom stockpile but otherwise very reliable.
** Note that dwarves don't like to be out in rain or snow, regardless. Build a roof to protect them from it.
* Keep at least a few [[cat]]s around to hunt down irritating [[vermin]]. [[Pasture]] some in with your food stockpiles. Note that this will create vermin remains, which need to be hauled to a refuse stockpile or dumped. Alternatively, use a [[trapper]] or two.
* Put a [[cage]] in a high traffic area (like the meeting area) and stuff it full of (non-[[pasture|grazing]]) tame animals so your dwarves can enjoy seeing their [[preferences|favorite]] type of animal.
** The [[elf|elven]] [[caravan]]s bring random animals, and you can request specific domestic animals from the dwarven caravan.
** You can use [[cage trap]]s to capture wild animals, [[Animal trainer|train them]].
* Create a [[waterfall]] or [[mist|mist generator]] in a location all dwarves frequent regularly.
* Keep your fortress clean and avoid [[miasma]], or at least confine it to your refuse stockpile if it is underground.
* Keep your refuse stockpile somewhere infrequently traveled, enclosed by doors so that dwarves do not see dead bodies, especially those of sentient creatures.

==Miscellaneous==
* Keep your dwarves [[clothes|clothed]]. A naked dwarf is a stressed dwarf. Specifically, they will need something to cover the upper body, such as a shirt, something to cover the lower body, such as trousers, and something on each foot, such as a sock or shoe.
* If a dwarf dies, [[coffin|bury him]] or [[memorial|engrave a memorial in his name]]. This will prevent even more stress for his friends, and [[ghost]]s to haunt your dwarves or your FPS.
* [[Pasture]] all dwarf [[pet]]s somewhere safe. Wandering pets are likely to die from goblins or construction accidents.
* Instead of [[Dwarven atom smasher|vaporising]] old dwarven clothes, rather sell them to the caravan. Otherwise every destroyed masterpiece sock will stress its creator.
* Be careful with cooking masterpiece dishes. Dwarves tend to drop their ☼dog intestines roast☼ somewhere, and if it withers the cook becomes agitated.

Puddingstone

'''Puddingstone''' is a sedimentary stone which occurs as large clusters within [[conglomerate]]. Unlike other mineral inclusions, puddingstone ''will'' support an [[aquifer]] if one is present within its surrounding layer.

==In Real Life==
Puddingstone is a type of poorly sorted conglomerate; that is, it is a stone composed of stone grains that are of various sizes rather than of mostly the same size and is usually cemented together with quartz [[sandstone]].

[[File:Chinese snuff bottle, c. 1750-1850, puddingstone bottle with coral and glass stopper, Honolulu Museum of Art.JPG|thumb|170px|center|A puddingstone bottle.]]
{{D for Dwarf}}
Contrary to popular opinion, this stone it not made of pudding, although dwarves will often injure their teeth while attempting to verify if Puddingstone lives up to its name.

ShinyandKittens: Changed quality rating from "Exceptional" to "Masterwork" using the rating script

{{Quality|Masterwork|02:43, 18 April 2018 (UTC)}}
{{av}}

The dwarven '''calendar''' is used to display the day, month, and year of any given date, and is visible in the upper right corner of the [[Status]] Screen ({{key|z}}). There are 12 months in the dwarven year divided into 4 seasons of 3 months each. Unlike the traditional Gregorian calendar, each dwarven month is exactly 4 weeks long, or 28 days, for a total of 336 days in a year. New Year's Day and the first day of Spring both fall on the 1st of Granite. New Year's Eve and the last day of Winter both fall on the 28th of Obsidian. The months are named after kinds of [[stone]]s, [[ore]], [[gem]]s and [[wood]].

The game's first playable year begins whenever the world stops generating. By default, the world will stop genning at year 250. Worldgen can be set to stop at several distinct years ranging from 5 to 1050 when selecting ''Create a World'', and can also be set to any arbitrary year by editing the advanced option ''End Year'' in the ''Design New World with Advanced Parameters'' screen, or by interrupting world generation.

<nowiki>*</nowiki> If you have modded the game to not be at war with the Goblins or Kobolds then they will send caravans to you and you will be able to trade with them, but only if you have also modded them to have pack animals. If you do then they will send caravans every season, including Winter.

There are also full moons on certain fixed dates every year. [[Werebeasts]] will transform into their werebeast form on these days:

*25th granite
*23rd slate
*21st felsite
*19th hematite
*17th malachite
*15th galena
*13th limestone
*10th sandstone
*8th timber
*6th moonstone
*4th opal
*2nd obsidian
*28th obsidian

== Farming ==

The seasons correspond to growing seasons from the [[farm plot]] {{k|q}} menu, which dictate what can be grown when during the year. (See the list of [[crop]]s.) It should be noted that crops grow during seasons regardless of the actual weather, so any crops that grow during the spring will do so regardless of how much rain your area gets.

== Trading ==

Civilizations will visit your fortress based on what season it currently is. Trade caravans for each race show up during the specific seasons each year, with the elves arriving during the Spring, the humans during the Summer, and the dwarves during the Autumn. No caravans arrive for the winter (with the exception of goblins, if your civilization is at peace with them), so it's smart to stock up on food and drink during the fall.

== Ages ==

In addition to the year, a world's history is also divided into ages. An age can be seen as an epoch, something which defines the period of years it describes. The age itself has no bearing on gameplay other than as categorization in [[Legends]] mode, though players may witness a change in age (with an accompanied announcement) should their actions cause the current age to end. This may happen after killing a large number of [[megabeast]]s.

[[File:Dwarven_Age.png]]

Ages are determined by the states of the world during world generation. Worlds start in the Age of Myth, though this may not always hold true if changes to world gen parameters are made. Some of the known things that influence the ages are number of megabeasts currently living and dominant civilizations. It is also possible for a world to enter a particular Age more than once (e.g., ''The Second Age of Legends'') if the appropriate conditions are met.

=== Known Ages ===
Below is a list of 'Ages' that may occur, an explanation and their (possible) triggers, and their in-game descriptions. [[World_generation#World_Size|World size]] may affect how long an age lasts. Because the age is dependent on variables such as number of megabeasts, number of civilized creatures, etc., smaller worlds will tend to change ages more frequently. Conversely, larger worlds tend to be more age-stable.

==== Great Powers in Control ====
If there are more than 3 significant powers (historical figures with the [POWER] or [MEGABEAST]/[TITAN] [[creature token]]s) in a world when it begins, then it will progress through the ages of Myth, Legends, and Heroes. If there are 3 or less, then it will progress through the various Ages of Powers.

;The Age of Myth
: The number of living powers and megabeasts is at least 2/3 of what it was when the world began.
:: ''The Age of Myth was a time when living gods and mighty beasts still held sway.''
;The Age of Legends
: The number of living powers and megabeasts is at least 1/3 of what it was when the world began.
:: ''The Age of Legends was a time when the powers of the world were fading.''
;The Age of Heroes
: The number of living powers and megabeasts is greater than zero.
:: ''The Age of Heroes was a time when the last of the powers fought their final battles.''

In larger worlds, the proliferation (and extermination) of [[necromancer]]s, [[vampire]]s, and [[werebeast]]s during world generation can cause the age to ''regress'' back to Myth, sometimes multiple times.

;The Age of Three Powers
: Exactly three powers are alive in the world. If a world starts with 3 powers and manages to progress beyond that, it will proceed to the Age of Myth.
:: ''The Age of Three Powers was a time when the dragon Flarrgh, the demon Blarrgh and the titan Glarrgh were the only great powers in the world.''
;The Age of (Race) and (Race)
;The Age of Two (Race)s
: Exactly two powers are alive in the world.
:: ''The Age of Dragon and Demon was a time when the dragon Flarrgh and the demon Blarrgh were the only great powers in the world.''
:: ''The Age of Two Dragons was a time when the dragon Flarrgh and the dragon Blarrgh were the only great powers in the world.''
;The Age of (Name)
;The Age of the (Race)
;The (Racial) Age
: Exactly one power is alive in the world. The name style is selected randomly.
:: ''The Age of the Hydra was a time when the hydra Flarrgh was the only great power in the world.''
:: ''The Age of Flarrgh was a time when the titan Flarrgh was the only great power in the world.''
:: ''The Draconic Age was a time when the dragon Flarrgh was the only great power in the world.''

==== No Great Powers ====
Once there are no powers left in the world, the ages will proceed as follows.

;The Age of (Race)
;The (Racial) Age
:Less than 50% of all civilized creatures are [[Creature token#MUNDANE|mundane]], and the majority are of one race. The name style is selected randomly.
:: ''The Age of Dwarves was a time when dwarves ruled the world.''
;The Golden Age
:Less than 50% of all civilized creatures are [[Creature token#MUNDANE|mundane]], but there is no single majority.
:: ''The Golden Age was a time when various civilized races peopled the world.''
;The Twilight Age
:Between 50% and 90% of all civilized creatures are [[Creature token#MUNDANE|mundane]].
:: ''The Twilight Age was a time when fantastic creatures no longer lived in great numbers.''
;The Age of Fairy Tales
:Over 90% of all civilized creatures are [[Creature token#MUNDANE|mundane]], but some non-mundane ones still remain. Toady One's quote from 2008 devlog: <blockquote>"I finally saw a world arrive at the Age of Fairy Tales, which happens if mundane creatures (ie humans) make up at least 90% of the world's civilized population with the requirement that there are still a few fantasy creatures lurking around. In this case, it was a kobold cave that their scouts never found. I guess all of the fairy tales were about people having their crap stolen."</blockquote>
:: ''The Age of Fairy Tales was a time when fantastic creatures were few and far between, and some even doubted their existence.''
;The Age of Civilization
:All civilized creatures are mundane, and all semi-megabeasts have been vanquished.
:: ''The Age of Civilization was a time when fantastic creatures were but mere stories told by travelers.''
;The Age of Death
:All civilized creatures are dead, and the world has passed through at least one Age of Twilight, Age of Fairy Tales, Age of (Race), Golden Age, or Age of Civilization.
:: ''The Age of Death was a time after civilization had crumbled completely.''
;The Age of Emptiness
:All civilized creatures are dead, but the world never progressed beyond the Ages of Myth, Legends, Heroes, or Powers.
:: ''The Age of Emptiness was a time when no civilized peoples existed in the world.''
:: ''The Age of Emptiness was a time when only simple creatures inhabited the world.''

A world that ends generation in the Age of Death or the Age of Emptiness will only allow games to be started in [[Legends|Legends mode]] or [[Adventurer mode]].

==Announcements==
A change in the season will generate an [[announcement]]. Depending on the biome your fortress is in, the announced season may be different from the calendar season. For example, in some biomes "wet" and "dry" seasons replace spring or summer. A few biomes lack any change in weather and those biomes announce a change of season by "-season- has arrived on the calendar." Regardless, plants and caravans always follow the calendar season listed on the status screen.

Lungfish

ShinyandKittens: Added a link to a case of the floating lungfish

{{Quality|Exceptional|23:53, 9 June 2010 (UTC)}}

'''Lungfish''' are a type of aquatic [[vermin]]. They are found in (and next to) [[tropical]] [[river|rivers]], [[lake|lakes]], and [[pool|pools]] year-round, and are a ready source of [[food]] when [[fish cleaning|cleaned]] at a [[fishery]]. Lungfish have gills as well as a lung, and so are able to survive and move on land, where they are easy targets for [[cat]]s and other vermin-eating domestic animals.

Some [[dwarves]] [[Preferences|like]] lungfish for their ''gulping''.

[[File:Vermin-Lungfish.jpg|thumb|center|300px|Admired for its ''gulping''.]]

{{D for Dwarf}}

The lungfish is also well known for its playful nature and [https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/6y0ay9/the_mystery_of_the_floating_lungfish/ ability to fly]. Bedazzled dwarves often see these creatures going up and down in the fresh air next to [[river]]s. After conquering water and earth, it is only natural that these terrifying beasts conquer air.

It has been assumed that soon enough they will conquer [[magma]] and this day is said to be the day all dwarves will accept lungfish as their new, tiny, amphibious overlords.

ShinyandKittens: Couldn’t help it

{{Quality|fine}}{{av}}

The '''dungeon''' is the intricate network of halls and passages that lie beneath the [[keep]] in a [[town]]. Dungeons are distinct from the other underground [[structure]]s, the [[catacombs]] and [[sewer]]s, although they occasionally create connections with either. The layout of the structure have the feel and resemblance of a traditional roguelike dungeon. Rectangular rooms are joined by narrow corridors and stairways, and loot can be found lying around the rock floors. The dungeon is usually the first place to explore for most adventurers beginning as hearthpersons in a town, and it provides decent challenge for [[adventure mode]] beginners.

Dungeons do not hold prisoners in [[jail]], nor do they function at all as a place for imprisonment or torture. In fact, anyone can roam freely in the dungeons, and [[Town#Criminal organizations|criminal organizations]] may even set their base of operations in one. Dungeons are sometimes the locale for [[quest]] objectives.

{{D for Dwarf}}

Dungeons and dragons may occasionally happen, when a dragon claims a dungeon.

'''Green tree frogs''' are unremarkable [[amphibious]] [[vermin]] found in [[temperate]] freshwater [[biome|biomes]]. They can be captured by [[trapper]]s and turned into low-value [[pet|pets]]. All green tree frogs possess Legendary [[skill]] in [[Climber|climbing]].

Despite the description, they do not live in trees. They will not appear in maps during the winter.

Some [[dwarves]] [[Preferences|like]] green tree frogs for their ''distinct mating call''.

Military dwarves may be expected to eat green tree frogs, if found in a deep trial to survive. This is in addition to going through the rain.

Pond turtle

'''Pond turtles''' are a common source of [[food]] and one of the few sources of [[shell]]s. They can be found in any pool of water and are gathered by [[fishing]]. Pond turtles can also be found by digging into an [[aquifer]] or by creating water outside the area of pre-existing water sources such as [[river]]s or [[cavern]] water. One tile is sufficient, so long as the fishing zone covers only that one tile.

Similar to how [[Hedgehog|hedgehogs]] can roll into a ball, pond turtles can hide in their shell.

To harvest a shell, the raw pond turtle must be processed at a [[fishery]]. This will produce a pond turtle shell and an edible pond turtle. If a pond turtle is eaten before it is processed or [[cook]]ed, no shell will be produced. The described process of catching, then cleaning pond turtles is the only way to get shells from them. Processed pond turtles are categorized as [[fish]] in the [[stocks]] and [[status]] screen. The "Pond turtle" food that can be purchased from caravans is already processed and thus cannot be used to procure shells.

Tame live pond turtles can sometimes be bought from merchants. These cannot be set up to slaughter, and if one gets killed by a [[cat]] or caught by a [[web]] or closing [[door]], the only result will be pond turtle remains, not a raw pond turtle you can take to a fisherdwarf's workshop and process to get a shell.

Some [[dwarves]] [[Preferences|like]] pond turtles for their ''shells''.

[[File:Vermin-Turtle.JPG|thumb|center|300px|Admired for their ''shells''.]]

The pond turtle's elusive cousin, the mighty aquifer turtle, is just like a pond turtle but can be fished in dug aquifers. It is entirely similar to the pond turtle, but one wonders how can the turtle swim between grains of rock in the aquifer and then feed a dwarf.

These wondrous beasts seem to spontaneously generate in dug aquifers, for some reason. Maybe they don't like being in aquifers so squeeze themselves ''really hard'' between two grains of rock?
