A word of advice
« on: June 01, 2014, 08:12:23 am »

When exploring the caves, and you know there are ant men,

AVOID THEM UNLESS YOU HAVE VERY EXPERIENCED MILITIA READY TO FIGHT.

Seriously.

A single ant man drone spearman took out my ENTIRE militia and various civilians.

Not that my militia was very big.

The best way to demonstrate it to him is take a save of 40 year old fortress with 150 dwarves in it on a good sized embark with a volcano that just breached the circus and install it on his gaming rig and watch it bring his rig to its knees.

Probably spent several years fighting an unkillable forgotten beast. It happens sometimes.

I think it probably just fought your dwarves long enough to become a spearmaster.
