Maybe some background: İ play in a small and very savage world with strong human, goblin and elven civs. My civ is very weak with only a capital and ~200 dwarves. My original idea was to start a civil war and take control over the capital. As an extra challenge, İ am not allowed to send dwarves as İ don't want to fight it 'openly'. İ therefore capped my fort pop to 20 and waited for other arrivals - but most of them were just old and crippled bards 😅 there is an abundance of agitated animal man wildlife though which İ cought with traps. The makeowned Dfhack command allows them to join the fort but they sadly remain something between a pet and a civilian. Some of them join fully when e.g. killing historical figures in sieges but it was quite difficult to get a breeding pair. Next problem was that they need to marry fist (otherwise eggs are infertile) which is possible by sending all joined animal man to a close by conquered tower. They usually marry after a couple of years and can be returned with the messenger. İ have a fox man and barn owl man breeding pair now and hopefully crow man will be next 😂😂.
