Little story from my first fortress, who experienced fun.
Till this moment, all I met was two minotaurs and few thieves who got nothing.
All I was doing was just basically a wealth. Around pop 60 ambush hit. I had exactly 0 military and only a few weapons. I made recruit from everyone and rushed all those goblins. Only one of my got killed, and as a civilian who discovered the ambush. One group of 6 bowman got killed 5 of them and from the group of 6 axe goblins, I killed 2. Kind of a good result from my peaceful fort eh?
So I started to gather everything on the ground and another !!!FUN!!! (bronze colossus) come. This time, I closed up, setup 2 (I used 100% of my crossbows
) mark dwarfs to shoot at it. The masterpiece bolts where damaging it, but hey, its a bronze colossus. All he was doing was trying to catch one of my cats who got trapped outside of my fort. Luckily the cats are faster than colossus thus he was just chasing them.
Another piece of fun came. The running cat met ambush of goblins. This time cat died, but the cat's cover fought them back. For the 8 goblins with maces it was a damn long fight. But as first goblin died, the rest was funny. Like the colossus got angry and last 3 killed with one punch to the head.
As he finished those group, he met another group of ambushers. This time it was fast for those. So I acknowledged, that goblins wont solve my problems and I recruited most of my dwarfs again. This time not all of them, because I was thinking only about loosing. Before my attack, I forget like 15 of silver war hammers and I attacked.
First dwarf was thrown away killed on landing. The others surrounded colossus, taking heavy hits and doing a little to none damage to him. Luck was on my side, and colossus rolled from one hit to the nearby lake. I removed everyone from the military except two mark dwarfs, who had station near the lake, thus they were shooting at him, slowly making him more and more red. He took in total 4 dwarfs with him.
At the time, colossus had everything red and a few pieces of face off, another !!!FUN!!! come. What it was will be shown on image lower, because, even more luck landed on my side. Everyone was set to alert (burrow in dining room) and as IT was near my gate, I closed. Unfortunately, there was a dwarf, who had injury (blinking with the red cross) and was unable to get into the fort in time thus was stuck in 1vs1 with IT.
The end of this FUN is here:
The FUN now is a forest titan, scorpion. So, titan cough my miner. And then, he just died, I just WTF.
Few moments after this, my mark dwarfs finally broke the colossus, to end pain in my fortress. That's my little story
