The Terror of Catching sent an army with well over a hundred fighters, most of them goblins, followed by 40 or so trolls and a few assorted beasts. It was like a tide washing in, but the champions of Lashscrapes have gotten to the point where they're virtually invulnerable against ordinary soldiers, so it was just a matter of chopping and smashing until the remnants took off. The caravan arrived almost immediately after the siege lifted; sold a few thousand ☼ of invader clothes, some high-value crafts, and a few masterwork weapons to get all the ore, metal, and thread they brought, along with a couple more dragons for my breeding program. By the time my workers had finished hauling things to the depot, the new forgeworks had finished filling its lava channels. There's space for eight smelters, each for a particular set of tasks, four forges, and a spot at the end for glass and pottery, plus a generator to provide power keys for the advanced smelter. Still a bit of work to be done filling in floor and assembling furnaces, but it's nice to have the power conduits properly charged. I'm planning to work on improving the outer walls while I get the new metalwork factory sorted out. Most of the remaining buildings will be made of assorted metal blocks.
