The prime reason is that your dwarves are juicy bags of blood. Also, you have very mean mosquitoes as those I have encountered are nothing but lousy fleshbags of target pratices... Alright first just fortify the place where you put all the marksdwarves, with a roof of course(that is a floor above the foritfy) that way you shoot the crap but dont get the shit!!! Bunkers are good at early embarks strat... just think as a marine in sc. lol

I thought they were going to be target practice too....... The ensuing slaughter reminded me of when I first sent my untrained militia against a pack of giant badgers.......

Also loud whisper just stfo. Giant mosquitoes ripped my dwarves apart and the most tragic part is when ezum couldn't pickup his equipments since both of his arms where ripped off by mosquitoes. Well, the thing is let all threads run free unless they will come back to haunt you later on a terrifying biome.

Mosquitoes flew to me
Sucked in vain!
In my stony veins...
Since they were covered in -Iron-
Praise the miners

I have no idea what the issue is. I have roughly 120~ GMs floating around my fortress, not a single attack. Theres a couple sitting in with my cattle and a few more are interrupting the timber collection jobs. Not a single attack.

Exactly! GM are nothing but a cool new !FUN!. The best part is sending waves of dwarves against them.

I guess my fort is positioned directly in their migration path, because they are piling in the middle, I just lost a caravan to 60 of them dog-piling the merchants and guards

Hmm, maybe your fort is set in the direct path of their breeding ritual! Urist McMosquito Hunter cancel sleep, hearing buzzing sound.

My fort is getting fuckkeeed up.... The mosquitos are getting the shit kicked out of them by a "Very Large" Werewolf, a WereBuffalo and my marksdwarves are just trying their hardest to cause a dent in the population
