I've never had such luck with moods. My high master weaponsmith and my just recently legendary armorsmith got moods just a year apart. So now they're certainly Legendary+5, and every time they get called to the forge, they casually toss of masterworks left and right. My furnaces are constantly cranking to provide them enough bronze and steel for armor and weapons.
Had a bronze colossus, two forgotten beasts, and a huge goblin siege show up all in one year. Some in a single season.
This huge goblin siege had 6 goblin squads, three lead by elites, and three squads of trolls in tow. This ties with the last one that showed up, featuring the Goblin warleader in front of a bunch of hammergob cavalry, three more squads of goblins each led by an elite of some sort, plus four groups of trolls.
And between the two sieges I had a mountain titan (a feathered worm with fire breath) show up and fly into my above ground statue garden.
I'm just letting the forgotten beasts wander around for now. Perhaps they'll kill some of the unnamed cave swallowman civilization. The bronze colossus got stopped by a cage trap. I think I'll save him for the arena, once more of my military abandons the iron and copper gear they've pulled off of goblins and seem to prefer over the triple bar and masterwork steel my armorer has been cranking out.
I got overconfident with this second siege. The first I let through my staggered bridges in smaller groups, and cleaned the softening traps in between a couple sets.
This one I mostly met in direct battle as soon as they'd gone through the first corridor. They'd been weakened, for sure, but still posed some challenge. They eventually got a sword dwarf alone and about eight goblins eventually managed to knock him unconscious. Later, he bled out. An axedwarf without a weapon was also slain.
My military commander has now racked up 48 notable kills, bears the title "The Horn of Weeping" and I have three other dwarves with titles.
A militia captain died after refusing treatment ("Urist McSurgeon cancels surgery, patient not resting") for her upper arm compound fracture (she accumulated about a half dozen kills after this wound had been administered, by the way. I never knew spears were so effective, but I saw a lot of "... drives the spear into Gobbo von Goblin's eye, tearing the tendon, breaking the skull, driving the skull into the brain, and splattering the brain," or something to that effect.
I thought that Dwarves getting up in the middle of surgery had been fixed in 0.31.12, but this is the second dwarf I've had succumb to infection after deciding to walk around wounded:
last year my second legendary miner died. He nonsensically channeled a small section of floor in basically the only possible pattern that would've resulted in a cave in, and ended up with a punctured lung and compound fractures on all of his limbs. He went to the hospital, but as soon as his wounds were dressed, and he was cleaned the first time, he went back to mining. While it is unspeakably dwarfy to go back to mining with bones poking out of each of your limbs, and a punctured lung, I do wish he hadn't succumbed to infection. Oh well. He has a tomb befitting his greatness now.
That reminds me, I've had to forbid soap because dwarves will keep picking it up, carrying it a few squares, and then spamming me with cancellation messages: "cancels clean self: area inaccessible". I thought that was also fixed for 0.31.12. Was it only animals?
