Over in Horrorweathered, the savage scorching rocky wasteland fortress of 15 dwarves and 30 cage traps, I've captured a wild troll. Advice on what to do with it?

Train it for war.

That's what I'm going to do with the GCS and GDS. Trolls are untrainable.

Also, Splint: sadly, I lack marksdwarves.

[Splint]

Make some cheap bolts and bows and some quivers. No-one said they had to be pretrained.

[Corai]

No, train it for war using a dangeroom. Then unleash the god of all trolls on the next goblin siege.

[Mura]

What I mean by that is that I am in the alien situation of having zero expendable dwarves. Everyone who could hold a crossbow is instead doing something vital to fortress security, like making beer or cages.

Also, corai: that is a good idea, if I can keep it from horrifically backfiring.

[Splint]

I don't think they'll pick a fight with wildlife unless the wild life picks a fight with them.

And no-one said they had to be expendable either. two dwarves can pincushion it and then go back to work. Problem solved.

Prevent it from horribly backfiring? Elf!

Starting a seaside fort, have the farms, initial dorm, and first office as well as my mason and carpenter shop levels du out and filled, just got my first migrant wave, i browse the people and what do i see? A LEGENDARY METALCRAFTER. IN THE FIRST MIG WAVE!!

[MadocComadrin]

I've been getting quite a few useful legendary/near legendary migrates recently across multiple worlds.

[Shininglight]

I also just discovered a new useful dwarf, a giant hornet snuck into my fortress and was subsquently torn apart and beaten to death by an adept wrestler/fighter i hadn't noticed and recruited yet. He killed it by uppercutting it so hard it's brain was damaged.... He's also a butcher and he's currently butchering the hornets body.

Edit: Good ARMOK! Nightmares and a Nightstallion just murdered all but my two miners in under 30 seconds...... Well at least my fortress'll get dug out before the migrants i pray are coming show up and replenish my losses.

Edit Edit: The female of the two miners appears to have somehow exploded in one of my tunnels, spraying blood everywhere, now the only one left is tantruming and attacking my dogs.

[Mura]

I just caught a Giant Olm!

Yaay!

My bear breeding program is getting off the ground, the elven bastards have finally decided to bring me a mate for my bear. Up ntil now, I had a grizzly, and a black bear, but thats not enough for children.

[Mura]

In real life, the viability of bear hybrids largely depends on which species is which parent.

And now you know.

[Splint]

Glacialhell seems to be in the path of the biseasonal elk bird migration route.we have a tone of the damned things now so I may need to start slaughtering the less impressive specimens. My Legendary tanner lost her artefact (The idiot assigned to carry it in combat left it outside and a kobold swiped it) but she doesn't seem to give a shit. She also turned a troll's head into a blood fountain that painted all the tiles around the body cyan with her dual maces.

We have a nice and cozy icehut for the naked mold dogs to breed in too and a growing pile of dead things out front. Also it seems our windmill froze and is useless out here. Going to need alternate mill-power.

(The idiot assigned to carry it in combat left it outside and a kobold swiped it)

I do enjoy my artifacts...

[Wrex]

Well, operation T-Virus has been put on hold after I ran out of kobolds to test it on. They died ebfore I could see which syndrome killed them first.
