I love that sleeping troop at the bottom left. You can feel the level of apathy.

I understand that it is disappointing when a dwarf makes a spiked loincloth instead of an axe.

Or you could have sent a squad of noble wrestlers to do the job. Make sure it's wrestlers though.

I'm now picturing an elf wrestler trying to suplex my battlements.

I do have an unrelated problem, anyway.

My announcements keep getting erased. After a full page is filled (possibly even before that), it just scraps the whole thing and starts blank. I can never go back more than one page, because there is never more than one page of history recorded. Have I got some invisible settings messed up?

I have no clue what happened to your announcements, but you can get a moody dwarf to turn the flames of the FB into a weapon or other object. Be aware that this will result in a lot of !!DWARVES!!. Also, this seems related to the more general military dwarf bug. Also, it's very, very amusing.

...why do your hydras have two more heads than mine? 
Does that mean male hydras... oh god dammit.

Good to know. I've got the remains sitting in a bone stockpile near my crafters, so maybe I should forbid them. !!DWARFS!! are not my favourite things.

On a related note, the corpses of those fallen soldiers were never discovered, even though the places they died have clearly been explored since. The bones may have been destroyed by fire. I didn't know that could happen; it may prove useful.

Even if the bodies are destroyed you need to make a memorial slab for those dorfs.  Ghosts are serious business! No memorial and they'll haunt your fort.

That will bring many hours of fun. Oh the memories...
