and he'll leave unhappy and come back with an army or two?

Why would he need an army?

Why would he need an army?

Everyone needs sturdy meatshields.

[Lielac]

So I embark...

First thought: Wait. It's not flat. $%#@, no above ground fort for me.

Second thought: Eh, let's look around anyway.

Third thought: Is that... bituminous coal sticking out of the wall? And... limonite?

Fourth thought: AMG YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Besides, Humans are the only race that have a chance of taking out your fortress without your permission, assuming you don't have a magma cannon or something like that.

While I was away from the computer, a forgotten beast that I had long forgotten about somehow got into my farming area down by the first cavern.  I quickly save scummed back (which was about 2 minutes before I loaded, saving me from losing a few of my farming dwarves) and promptly sent my military at the beast.  They arrive in around 20 seconds, and my dwarves quickly engage the beast.

The fight was over in 30 seconds.  Half of the Wheels of Organization were dead and a marksdwarf had been slain, but the Forgotten beast is now a lump of gemstone.

Edit: It just happened AGAIN.

This time I don't think there were any losses, but a presser did have his arm broken. 

However, one of my best military dwarves, Goden Febtithleth Onolthasdoth has named his iron spear.  Its name is Alenniles Mamot Debish.  Less awesome in English, Mothstraps the Plait of Spasms.

Year 23...the second generation is being born in the fortress.  Population 91, of which 40 are children and 20 are children that have become adults; the current mayor has been in power for 13 years, leaving an indelible mark on the community with various improvement projects and our first major project, a solid gold basilica under construction.

Only 15 dwarves have died in 23 years, a new record.

[Angel Of Death]

Because of my FUCKING DIPSHIT dwarves, my favourite fortress ever was slaughtered by several races sieging at once.

The new fort's first elven caravan arrived.
Poor pointy eared hippies were perforated by 5 guys with steel axes.

[tabaris]

ok complaining on the forums about a lack of !!Fun!! in Crabwhiped instantly generates potential disasters !!Fun!!. My makeshift hospital looks like a slaughter house as the medical staff try to save the soliders who contracted Dwarf Rot from Ida's blood those with stronger constitutions are back at work whist delirious with fever. In the mean time a bronze collosus has shown up, followed by the outpost liason, followed by a goblin seige coprised of too many goblin lashers and one spear master. The goblins killed four more from the millitary, one trader, and a yak before dieing or being captured. all caravan garuds are dead but one as a result of the bronze collosus. most of the dwarf caravan is using the secondary entrance to access the trade Dept before i seal it with a bridge.

edit- I have just caught my first bronze collosus Suggestions anyone?

[jaxy15]

I found magma in what's pretty much my first cave. (Of this region)
Sweet!

Almost eternal target practice for marksdwarves with bone/wood bolts. You can train literally generations of legendaries.

A forgotten beast showed up - enormous quadruped made of mud with wings and poisonous gas or something. Meanders its way out of the water up to my fort, first wrestler it meets there is one single entry into the combat log:

"The Wrestler bites the forgotten beast in the head and the severed part sails off in an arc!"

Epic.

Cadap Ismandermad is getting a nickname for that.

IIRC mud creatures are easy as hell to kill.

On topic, a mini-dragon (Firebreathing dimetrodon) arrived.
It was quickly killed.

I know mud creatures are easy as hell to kill, but it seems that even if it had been anything else a head chomp would have killed it anyway.
