Nicely done. Since they have been sending big armies like this, expect them to continue, probably even bigger numbers in the future. You might benefit from setting up a corridor in which your military can fight them a few at a time, with doors or corners blocking line of sight so that your military stays together. Sooner or later the military will be out in the open, but if you can get them to fight enemies at a chokepoint you'll reduce dwarven casualties because it's harder for the enemy to mob them from all sides. Directing the enemy at your military from just one direction will force them to come a few at a time.

Be careful that your dwarves are not fighting on top of trap fields. You don't want a bunch of dwarves pulverized, minced, or caged because they fell unconscious on top of a trap.

Do you have cage traps or chained animals across your entrances? You really should; they're great for catching ambushes before they get to the chewy dwarven center of your fort.

I had a pastured dog in front to spot ambushes, but he bit it in the attack.


Also, I finished the bioweapons aquifer, so further attacks will be met with horrible agonizing death.

why? they brought you so much meat to make victory roasts with, not to mention goblinite. Keep the horrible agonizing death up close and personal, I'd say

I love huge sieges!

But then I also build huge armies.

70+ dwarves with the highest quality dwarven steel on an open battlefield against the endless goblin hordes. No traps. No tricks. No fortifications. No pits. Just an empty, open field. Dwarves wearing the finest dwarven steel decorated with the bones and melted down weapons of endless slain enemies.

GLORY AND HONOR!

Is their leader there? If so, once you kill them, the armies tend to decline in number
