I don't think we can make metal parts, can we?

Not gonna lie, I would like to take a swing at them in a copy of the save, but from a community game standpoint... Yeah, I'd prefer us not being stomped through the dirt, clay, sand, aquifers, and into the bedrock.
I was hoping they'd show up MUCH later. Isn't the specifications of them that they show up after x amount of dwarves show up? Like x being 120?

In vanilla Dorf Fort sieges show up only after you get 80 dwarfs.  You're playing Fort Defense though, and those sieges show up whenever they damned well please.

I vote for staying inside, maybe a save-scum attempt at taking on the Jotun.

I was gonna ask about that; If I survive the assult of the jotun on the savescum, do we make it happen? Or keep going as if I didn't?

and +3 for sealing

Jee wilikers, I think Highmax is near invulnerable, must have been dunked in the river styx like achilles was.
Just make sure he wears a boot.

20ish dwarves actually. If you hit that before the 1st winter they can attack as soon as then from that point onward.

So when Karkov's wife gave birth to the 20th dwarf, they all showed up?

Possibly. Not sure how they would have known about our location though.

The goblins? As Karkov said, they're poker buddies/allies

Surprisingly, I'm for locking ourselves. Because... I fear for our future.

But if we manage to repel them in alternative reality (with casualities, even) - I vote for it to become the true version of events

Science is always important. But it needs more flaming cats. Can't we build bridge-based catapults and fling flaming cats at the dust and goo?

It's time for the ATHATH Death Counter to increase once more in celebration for the end of the world.

That sounded like an ancient curse.

Well crap.  Good to know that my blood-line has probably doomed us all.

I hope if we fight and win, we go without deaths

"So you're saying that the last book I read wasn't the "History of the Mountain Home," it was something called the Necro- what was it again?"

"Necronomicon.  A book full of incantations and spells written by demons about every black magic known to mortals and immortals alike."

"Huh, well that probably explains why it wasn't in dwarfish."

Yah - not actually dwarvish at all, but it's easy to see how you could have missed that from the cover.

Elvish? Because elves are the most evil things ever to exist next to Jotun?

Probably

I've always kind of assumed that dwarf books had leather covers, mainly because it's the easiest material to find.  It's probably feasible that I just mistook wolf leather for dorf/human leather.
