Next version maybe. This version it's safe to eat as firefly brains.
Just had the ambush that never ended. Called the all clear on two separate occasions only to turn the alert on again. First a second ambush squad showed up while My soldiers were going out to mop of the remaining goblins of the last group. I had waited some time, and assumed that there were no more coming. Wrong.
One of my swordguys took a bolt to the upper spine and died. Another one passed out from a number of relatively minor arrow wounds. I cleared out the second ambush, and again thinking that was the last of it I call the all clear. The moment I called it another ambush, this time from orcs, another enemy civ. They break ambush by turning the unconcious soldier's head into paste with mauls. Alert is called again, nobody had time to get out the gate though so other then the wounded soldier there are no other losses from that squad.
I let my archers finish off the hammer squad, figuring by the time the archers managed to get in killing blows any ambush squads would have showed themselves. Season changes and I call the all clear again. Unfortunate move, orc archers, civilians are pouring out the front gate, military is standing down. I order the alert again, and the confused civilians mill around the front gate, a few soldiers were in the crowd and have line of sight on the archers and charges out of the gate, so much for my fortifications, I order the full charge of my military.
My soldier that charged out triggers yet another ambush, pikeorcs. Arrows fly by the new melee completely failing to hit their target, but flying stray into the civilians still crowding over eachother trying to get back into safety. A duck takes an arrow to the head, but despite two salvos of arrows going into the civilian mob, wounds are minor. The front soldier gets overwhelmed by the pikeorcs and goes down fighting, two more soldiers emerge from the now successfully fleeing crowd and intercept the pikeorcs chasing the crowd. 2 of my guys vs 5 of them, my guys end up winning, though one takes an upper spine wound and dies soon after, during this my archers started showing back up on the walls and start raining death on the orc archers, inspiring them to flee.
20 wounded, 1 civilian(he 'found' the first ambush), 1 duck, and 4 soldiers dead. Hospital is overwhelmed, though most wounds are hardly more than deep cuts, they still need diagnosis, cleaning, and suturing. I'm predicting many deaths from infection due to a shortage of doctors. Average fortress morale has dipped down to "happy".
Mos fun I've had in some time.
