so it happened that through an embarrassing lack of materials and poorly equipped military, my whole fort nearly got destroyed by an fb..now however thanks to the effort of 2 kids, i survived but..i dont have an expedition leader..i cant appoint jobs nor create a new militia..anyway to fix this??

If you mean the whole population is reduced to (2) kids, you probably have to wait until immigrants arrive so you get someone "responsible" in charge. This can get interesting if you somehow have managed to isolate the fortress, as the immigrants would have to dig or build themselves in to take charge of the mess (and they might not have any axe or pick with them...)
If you mean you can't do anything because your expedition leader died (which I didn't know would lead to such results, but I don't think I've lost the leader before [apart from when everyone were lost]) you should go to the 'n'obles screen and just appoint a new (adult) expedition leader.

the thing was(it fixed itself when one of the immigrants finally took up the mantle) i couldnt appoint anything from the nobles screen. i had 7 immigrants(all of them fucking useless) and none of them became an expedition leader for a good chunk of the year.


everybody from my original fort died due to the forgotten beast. and im now in process of just walling off the old fort entirely because its overrun by deep cave creatures...

Well, if you've got drawbridges to close off the old fortress all you need to do is to hook the bridges up to an additional set (actually only the last bridge, if you can get someone to pull the other levers) and then hope no Gremlin comes along before you're ready to deal with an opening.
However, I would expect there won't be more critters in the fortress than a normal cavern critter wave, and that they'd eventually leave to be replaced by something non hostile, at which time you can sweep in and secure the fortress?

Just don't forget to get your slate engravings going...

well the fort is currently occupied by a gigantic bat,two trolls and an fb that breaths fire...so at the moment im just going to try and create a topside fort...

[PatrikLundell]

My guess was wrong then, and the FB is probably going to stay anyway. The only good thing is that it will probably roast the other critters...

actually they are all just snuggly living in different parts of the cave...and i sealed the fb to the living quarters to avoid trouble...


now im just making my way towards creating the surface fort....will be the first.
