Yeah, the nightmares are being a total serious pain in the ass. I really should have put more effort into setting up my militia, but one problem I had was trying to figure out the iron smelting changes. I couldn't figure out why the crucible wasn't refining the crude iron, until I saw that the TrueType bug had struck once again and totally concealed the fact that the job was on suspend. I got dorfs with no jobs standing around doing nothing, and when I stick them in an industry to get something done, the little bastards go on break. You shits. You've had no job for several months and as soon as I tell you do something I need done badly you need a fucking break?! Some of this is probably because I dragged my feet setting up some industries and should have designed things more efficiently.
The mysterious besiegers below were apparently antmen, since they appeared on my civ screen. They showed up again, but I don't know what they expect to do, there's still no way in for them. They did do me a favor by exterminating the two FBs that took up residence down there though. Also had a griffon show up topside which was more annoying, it killed a couple of dorfs outside, but finally it crawled into my entrance tunnel where I quickly dispatched it with some speardwarves and the two iron golems that some of the immigrants brought. The nightmares though are being a complete pain in the ass, flying around everywhere, scaring the dwarves and cancelling jobs, and throwing fireballs around to add to the !!FUN!!. I need to shoot them down soon.
