Wow. How self centered. Stupid nobles, if it were up to me, I'd tie them all to stakes outside and let the siegers have at them, or the local zombie population.
UPDATE: The cabal of the miners, four agreed. The Doomsday Project has been given the green light. Each tunnel would be five spaces wide, with the middle used for siphoning the "Cleansing Ritual" out into the open world. One tunnel would be located north, while the other would be located south. The legendary mason, having agreed to the plan, would supply the four dwarves with the floodgates that would be needed. And now, The Doomsday Project has commenced, meant to protect the very dwarves they loved, while cleansing the outside world in the holy magma they use to forge their crafts and make their living. What was once a tool, is now becoming a weapon... a weapon of mass destruction on a grand scale. It will take time to hew through the earth and reach the dreaded holy river of magma, but they must not fail. Strike the earth Udib Tinsinews, the very life of the fortress may depend on it...
I'm going to try my hand at the dreaded magma flood of doom, and I'm picking five tiles wide so I can make plans in the future should I need to build past the flow of magma, plus it'll give my three "miners" plenty of experience
Update: Well gang, I may very well be facing my first siege soon. A kobold thief was detected at the entrance, and despite a horde of war dogs chasing her, PLUS A DWARVEN CARAVAN WITH AN AXEDWARF RIGHT IN HER PATH, she managed to escape, and I'm sure she's crying to her kobold brethren and gearing up for war, and The Doomsday Project has only just begun.
Heeeey I just discovered a few cool things. In the civilizations screen, press enter on a highlighted civilization and you see who rules it, what kind of trade agreements you have with it, and etc. Unfortunately, I see that an elite bowman rules the local kobold civilization
