[Eventide]

New migrant wave? Oh c--
AMBUSH
Well they weren't all too useful anyw-
Everyone's dead.

My reward for embarking in untamed wilds: Sponge men in my river.

Sponge men aren't that tough. Sponges are invincible because they don't have a brain to destroy or a body to bisect sponge men can be taken down fairly easily with edged weapons.

Spongemen:

Hematite... gold.... coal viens......
And mountains of sweet sweet.... er.... Mudstone? ok, I guess I'll have to make that work. Need to carve food stores.... Need to gather surface plants..... NEED BREW BOOZE

Also thanks to world gen glitch out, I have my first military squad waiting to grow up next season. They're all siblings, but then maybe they'll fight that much harder.

I'm not going to retrain spearmen into swordsmen. Not when I already made thier spears.

I usually just temporarily decommission the woodcutters and give some garbage dwarves their axes.

[Splint]

Doesn't matter now. They got swept down river off the map.

And it seems dorfs think brewables are good to eat when there's no booze.

There really needs to be a setting for that.... like [EAT_PLANTS_BREWABLE:NO/YES] or with a percentage thing or something regarding available booze, so when there's no booze, they won't touch prickle berries and plump helmets but when there's a veritable sea of  liqour they'll happily chow down.

But nope. Can't bre those three plants cause appearently they've already been earmarked to be eaten.

I'm only on the first z-level of stone and I've found enough coal and iron to potentially outfit two squads of dorfs.... And though I am loathe to do so, I forgot to mod out rangergoblins so i need to train some marksdorfs.... i hate training marksdorfs... And I hate ranged combat in this game....

[caddybear]

That's exactly how the knights felt about crossbows.

[Splint]

Oddly enough though, it's more espensive to train crossbowmen in this game than it was in real life.

Because appearently dwarves  have yet to master the art of restacking bolts.

My military just got decimated by a goblin ambush, I really need to find some iron on this map, copper just isn't cutting it!

[Splint]

Which is funny cause masterwork copper weapons are more than a match for anything goblins have. Yes I tested it.

[snoopychicken]

Could well be, but medium to low quality copper weapons are absolute horse s**t.

I imagine that's just the masterwork multipliers. Outfitting your militia with heavy copper armor and dull copper blades is a great way to let them know you hate them.

.... That I won't disagree with.

Operation: Kill every fucking thief dumb enough to come on my property (Name needs some work) Has been a sucess so far. 4 dead thieves, 4 knives, and 4 sets of kobold undies to sell to the year one caravan, thanks to having my hebalists and fisherdorfs in an "Emergency Response" squad (basically if something pops out on 'em I can imediatly issue a kill order to the closest one. Worked great so far.)

Oh, and fisherdorf went fey and made a fancy mudstone amulet. Woop dee do. Masterwork nest boxes and hives! Pleh.

First recruit grew up. She's been inducted due to her will power and spatial sense. Going to need alot of physical conditioning to bring her up to snuff compared to her younger sister and brother, who are both tough and agile with above average kinisthetic sense.

Eh probably, but hell, would you rather have wooden sticks (no, not weapon traps. Those are invalid here) or copper swords? Copper swords please.

EDIT: Winter appearently begins before early winter here and ends before early spring. Also my herbalists are either very strong or kobolds are stupidly flimsy. And the one in charge of the emergency response team seems to enjoy breaking people's left wrist. (three thieves ina row, he broke thier left wrist first every single time.)

This. My damn awesome militia commander has just grown attached to his damn copper sword aswell!

Atleast its masterwork...
