Needless to say, it was excited to meet me too. So excited, in fact, that it killed all of my dwarves within a few seconds.

Color me impressed. That thing is mean.

How far along was your fortress? When I met my first GCS (in a circular chasm), I attacked it with a bunch of recruits and a few Speardwarves and Hammerdwarves, and I was able to take it down fairly quickly. I lost about half my army, though, and that resulted in most of my fortress going melancholy/berserk and jumping into the chasm.

This is why I always give my miners levels in wrestling and my woodcutter/carpenter levels in wrestling and axedwarf. My last fort started on top of a chasm, and within a season a GCS uncloaked smack in the middle of my dwarves. It fired web and caught one of my two miners and killed him, but the other miner and the woodcutter made short work of it.

I hadn't even started unloading the wagon yet. I was clearing away the ramps leading to where the chasm let out first, to try and avoid that very problem. Obviously my miners weren't fast enough.

Cage traps. Put them everywhere and eventually you can release the GCS into a pit that is walled over. Do not tame it. That way you have a web farm.

Or, if you add 'trainable' to them, you can just make War GCSs and throw goblins in the pit.
