My actual fortress is up to the challenge to survive with as few traps as possible, atm there are only 4 weapon traps and 2 cage traps built.
Now I got my 5th siege in somewhat around a year. It hasn't been stronger as the last ones, 2 troll squads, 1 bowmangobo squad, 1 swordgobo squad, 1 mounted speargobo squad. I seal the caverns and wait for the first squad to arrive - a few trolls. As in every siege one guy headrushes out the entry, so I send the rest of my 10 dwarves behind him. They deal with the trolls relatively fast, though this seemed to be a tougher one. A few seconds later the bowgobo squad arrives and shoots at my dwarves from atop the hill.
I have to say arrows and bolts are really bad stuff in .06, I've already lost a few dwarves to them in the last few sieges, because one of their ears got scratched and they bled to death.
The bowyers didn't hit anything this time, though 2 dwarves got hurt by trolls + 1 mounted speargobo. So I sent the militia down to the second entrance to kill the second wave of trolls and stuff. The militia clashes together with the second wave, being outnumbered by about 1 to 7, 3 more get hurt. "Well this may be the end of my fortress," I'm thinking as only 2 more dwarves are out on the battlefield (the other 3 are sleeping or whatsoever) - I won't savescum due to gameplay stuff, only because of really fun destroying bugs - but then my militia captain and my best Axedwarf arrive at the battlefield. they slice and dice through the gobos as if they were paper. *gosh*
Well, to come to an end everyone survived the battle, even though 5 dwarves got severely hurt in the fight. And now I can see, the health system works, if it works
. With the surgery workaround, one of the dwarves is already up and running, and the other 4 are on their best way to get restored (surgery and setting bones jobs are already complete). 1 dwarf has gained Master skill in Shield Using.
In the end I'm really happy with the outcome of the siege (especially because I finally got the damn warleader killed).
