Then, I went to reclaim: All I found was some stuff left behind, and goblin corpses, as well as animal corpses. If I'm wrong here, though, then this sounds like a nice idea.</STRONG>
Not sure what you did wrong there, I once sent a band of hunters*, with some extra ammo, weapons and war dogs just for giggles and once on site they got off the party wagon, was recruited as marksdwarves and with some creative stationing of their squad gleefully ran from tower to tower, clearing every smelly level of those green skinned heathens with sporadic bursts of crossbow fire. Eventually clubbing the local warlord to death with the butts of their weapons. Then we spent a month tossing all the corpses into a dried out lake, drank all our booze and went back home to the mountains.
*they all had levels in marksdwarf, ambush, hammers and armor I think.
We ended up not using most of the equipment actually, apparently Hunter dwarves buys their own weapons. Had we spent the extra funds on actual fortress'ing tools we might even have settled in. XD
Good luck on that tower, sir.
