Death and Taxes...
« on: December 18, 2009, 01:23:57 am »

Although my fortress isn't very populous, my massive mining megaproject has generated so much mineral wealth that I've already had more goblin seiges come after it than in all my previous DF forts put together.  The dust is barely settled from a narrow victory over a huge goblin seige, when a dragon shows up.  I don't want dragon fire to destroy the pump stacks I have holding back 3 rivers, so I recruit 100% of my fort to meet the dragon head on, in pitched battle on a plain made of shale (because shale isn't flammable).  They've all pig-piled into a 3x3 square around & on top of the dragon and the dragon is roasting recruits left and right.  It's not certain yet whether they'll succeed in injuring it before the entire population dies.

Then, just when I think things couldn't get any worse, the battle is interrupted by an announcement:

"The Tax Collector Kivish Fotthorlor has arrived."

Let the tax collector fight the dragon. You will get rid of at least 1 problem.
