Nuff said. They should be far smaller, as well as moving more fairly. Running in steel armor is a little too much, methinks.

First they're too easy, now they're too hard!    You people really need to realize that combat in general isn't as balanced as Toady wants it to be, and he's slowly working at it (via other things).   The game's in beta, mind you.  We just haven't hit a sweet spot.

Actually the game is in alpha.

[Squeegy]

Which is ridiculous. Dwarf Fortress is perfectly playable, I do it every day. It SHOULD be considered beta, since alpha means it's barely or not playable.

[Earthquake Damage]

Alpha does not imply "cannot be played" so much as "unfinished."  Beta implies "finished" and "unpolished."

No! Ambushers are good. Are you sure that you didn't cheat and add yourself thousands of points, and took a loads of free stuff with you, thus raising your fortress value?
I had large ambush parties thrown at me on the first year when I started on the map with goblin fortress - somehow its architectural value was calculated into my fortress value, making my brand new fort worth nearly 300K!

I cheated, but my human fortress is only worth 4k. No ambushes, thank God.
