Could try modding them to have a bayonet attack.

[Loud Whispers]

Bayonets and crossbows = Not even once.

Just give your crossbowdwarfs hammers. Or if you can afford to spend more time training them, axes.

i started a new fort in a warm area with shallow metal and flux. so far haven't found flux yet. or iron. or a CAVE. 20 levels down and still NO CAVE. what's going on?

[VerdantSF]

I didn't hit my first cavern level until -49.  I think I recall someone else here who didn't find it until -80 or so.

The werellama Ebka Rinebbak has come!

And it brought FONT WEIRDNESS!  Bring it! 

EDIT:  He was an olm man.

Yet another pony was killed by a bronze dagger to the brain through his steel helmet.  Getting really tired of that.  The thief was cut into about 35 pieces at least.

Another thief somehow managed to wander into the middle of my settlement of nearly 30 to make off with a foal without anyone seeing him.  I think it was a ramp letting him through the dry moat I didn't notice before.  Got that fixed at least.

Overall this fort is going much better than my last.  I forgot that playing forts for personal fun instead of community games is much faster and significantly less stressful.  That translates to considerably more fun.

Messing around with the new version of Kobold Camp for Masterwork. Since when can a single bluebird kobold with an ironbone spear and a couple of single-item weapon traps drive off three orc ambushes? And the kobold survived with only a broken back, which did not in fact stop him from laying a smackdown on an hammerorc berserker wielding a steel 'hamma' (or was it called something else?) Too bad he got ripped apart along with the rest of the camp when a human got in on his dragon raptor. Amazingly though, the dragon raptor got it's head cut off by a kobold with a bloodsteel shovel...

Do you mean !FUN! or typical (boring) fun?

!!thrall spine!! thrown into juicer pit by  goblin for me. Problem solved. Modded in siege attacks. These dudes have thirty six arms and don't have fear stunning, or breathing or pain. And they are poisonous. And 30 dwarves are trapped out side !!FUN!!

A bit of both.  When I don't have to worry about PCs getting killed I can be more reckless.  That results in more things having their heads cut off with a single swipe of a copper dagger through their steel helmets.  Or random dog legs lying around in the fort.  Still not sure how that happened.

The FB's 9 month battle with the undead is at an end. Every one of its limbs are fractured but it still stands, literally and metaphorically. I'd finish it off but all it's doing now is moping beneath the surface of the cavern lakes, and the risk of having my Dwarves picked off by the newly arrived FB Mothra with fire-breathing capabilities is not the most pleasant of ones.

[Komra]

Oh, yay, my head cook just got vamp'd after many days of resting in a hospital. That'd suck...

Oh, wow, that was unintended.

Anyway, I also discovered that a previous migratory wave has only one remaining member- a child. I've had only a few deaths, so I'm not even sure if she came alone or not.

[VerdantSF]

She may have been born in your fort.  I've seen births counted as a migratory wave in DT.

Earlier today, I had a vampire's slaying reported, and I was fairly sure the person who reported it was the actual culprit, since he had a list of past groups a foot long. After I sentenced him, he survived only 3 hammer strikes. a few months later, the person he accused struck again, right in the middle of my barracks. He killed a well trained swordsmaster right in front of his squad. After he survived his 50 hammer strikes, I sent him off to brawl the forgotten beast I had trapped in the arena. I feel like this is some sort of punishment for having the wrong guy executed.

Today, my fortress had a minor flooding accident, trying to get water from a river to my wells.

The thought of building a well system began when I found out that all my barrels were used to hold my meat and plants, and there was no room for beer.
Even worse, the dwarves drank from the river near the entrance, and got mauled by giant sponges.

It was rather simple, I dug a hole to the side of the river, and channeled a pathway to a reservoir,
from witch tunnels lead to a network beneath my wells. Alas, I forgot about water pressure.

Water came out of the wells right in the middle of my dining room and meeting hall.
I temporarily evacuated my dwarves in my smaller fortress, farther away.

Before that, I stationed a vampire in the middle of my currently empty reservoir system,
attempting to drown her. After the accident, I found her climbing out of a well, like it was no big deal.

Luckily, only one dwarf died, a useless tanner who fell in a well.

Meanwhile, here's a dwarf fishing out of a well.
