Ok now i really need to drop some F-BOMBS, it's happened again, although my millitary is epic. At the last, freaking second, the leader of my batallion needs a drink ( God forbid the fortress survival trouble this guy heh... ) So, what does the rest of the axe men do? Follow him. Leaving pretty much my elite crossbowman to deal with an entire army of horse-riding suku humans ( With katanas ). Needless to say, he got a few, and i was proud of how well he stood up against them, but ultimately. He got pwned. After my leader came back, things started to go a little bit better. The spearman walked out the door the same time the human swordsman leader came in, he got bashed to the ground...But survived, the human got his ass handed to him, this is where it went epic.
Instantly the rest of my batallion ( And a few guards ) charged the humans outside and it became a ferocious melee fight, blood and guts and bodies flying in all directions ( I applauded when one human swordsman got chopped in half ) though ultimately it was the retreat of the humans that spared my fortress. Hell i didn't even know they had problems with dwarves, this fort was supposed to TRADE. I guess they have epileptic hate against trading dwarves ( Jealousy of our superior trade skills ). Ended on a sad note, since the only survivor of the fight was a recruit, who had the following injuries:( I'm not making this up, i didn't believe you could

In all, humans are something to fear, if you don't know they hate you, and they have horses, you have about. Ten seconds to get everything sorted or you're dead. Anyway, i loved this fort, i wasn't even AWARE they hated me, literally, they traded just last year. I know which fort I'M nuking with cats next however
