So I have survived the second siege, having lost only a couple of Axedwarves, but I have a couple of questions:
1> My caravan from the dwarven homes arrived at the same time as the siege. All but one trader made it into my fortress, the straggler was quickly ambushed and killed. The caravan which was unloading, packed up and wouldn't trade. Then as soon as the siege ended, they left. So the one trader getting killed stopped all trading?
The liaison didn't have a problem, he stayed and talked to me, leaving well after his buddies, and after most of the siege had been cleaned up.
2> Also during the siege, I somehow cage trapped the muskox of the dead trader. I tamed it with the dungeon master, but when I tried to move from the cage to a chain, it went and attacked my dwarves. Thankfully my hunter was walking by after dropping off his latest kill and took care of it. So if it was tame why did it attack?
3> I cannot figure out how to take the equipment off captured goblins. If I go to the stocks menu, how do I know what they are wearing? (I am using the Mayday graphics set and it shows the weapons in white, red and blue, I think the blue is what they have, but I'm not sure...)
I now have 19 caged up, and am going to have to get rid of them..too bad the dungeon master can't tame them.
