I have 22 soldiers, one who can't use a shield, against an undetermined number of modbolds as soon as I break 80 people. The males are named after various forumites, as I only know of two female ones.

I also did some creative stuff for my own ammusment

Hoardguards - Pikemen
Executioners - Axemen with great axes
Maulers - If you ask about thier weapon you're a moron
Enforcers - Morningstar armed macemen
Swordrunt/Swordgirl - mainlin infantry armed with iron swords, as humies can't make steel
Guardsmen - Spearmen
Marksmen - Crossbows
Sniper - elite of the above
Town Watch - Bronze armored soliders tasked with law enforcment. Armed with silver flails.

And that's a creepy coincidence. I mean granted Girlinhat's been churning out masterwork wood shields, but come on! He had a sword, he bit off a grasshopper man's leg and then bludgeoned him to death with a cedar shield! Wtf DF Hans!?

You still get ambushes and thieves scouts. Remember that.

Im at open war with them and nothing. Not a single modbold. Not even thieves/scouts.
 Just two goblins and some dead elves.

Then again tripple thick stone walls and a pit filled with half starved attack dogs as the front door isn't exactly pleasent to imagine fighting when you're samaller than a dog.

But when you come in a swarm outnumbering the stars slavering for blood, no mere 'defense' has any impact on your tactics. I know, I've played as Tyranids with the rule Without Number on my gaunts. I was like, "Devastators? Eh, maybe they'll take the whole wave before I get them all. Probably not though. And if they do, I've got another wave heading at them already. They're boned. Whoa, assault squad is helping them now? Reroute the other two swarms. We will bury them."

And Dorf Hans is channelling me. I can feel his fury, at the back of my mind. IT IS A GOOD PAIN!!! Ahem. [/warhammer references]

What's my humie (if any) doing?

Probably On Break if he's anything like his namesake.

Which, this being Dwarf Human Fortress, means that everything will go to shit at the first sign of an attack because a butterfly died in your gate, jamming it open, and also no one will pull the mother****ing lever because they're all drinking, sleeping, on break, or hauling vermin corpses for their cats while your military is picking up equipment.

Actually, Mr Frog the human settlement member, is Head Warsmith. He's personally forged every weapon in the fortress made of iron. Every peice of armor and every flask too.

And actually, the army is training, fully geared and full time save Hugo, who's getting his shield hand looked at. The fortress proper comprises 6 variable size towers, triple thick walls, and drawbridge. Four barracks, each with two squads each in them, are facing the entrance ina  made made dip in the ground, said dip filled with attack dogs. Overall the settlement seems more like a fallout shelter once inside the walls.

Every soldier is armed, armored, skilled, and ready to kill. Every citizen has a room with hest, door and cabinet. We have a sealed in mill and a safe watersource. The mayor has a personal tower above the farm with gold furnishings.

The home caravan left whith a huge profit, and Hans killed several tribes of grasshopper men by himself. With his sheidl despite cleary having his longsword.

If she sees that and a way becomes available, she may out of spite.

And tribes... More like beating three grasshopper men to death. I can hand it off if you'd like after I have him kill some more and Hugo is back on his feet.
