just use the activity zone to designate a dump site and mark the rotting stuff to be dump. the dorfs will deal with the rest.

I know, but OCD.

IN the mean time my sworddorf has 6 crundle kills and 1 wolf kill. Will the carnage ever stop?

When I first started hating crundles, I had one soldier with 50-60 crundle kills.

That's not carnage. My lifeminers have about 40 trogs between them and my mace sergeant, Sergeant Earless McDualwieldsmaces has 12 crundles and two trolls (I had to kill ALOT of things before I got those traps up.)

My mace sergeant was going that way until i got said traps up. Now they train up my low level animal trainers.

EDIT: Ok little freeloaders! Get the hell out of those bedrooms, the adults matter more! I'm honestly shocked I can keep all these dwarves housed and fed on a glacier on nothing but elk birds, eggs and imports.

[Mageziya]

Walls are being built, so I won't have to worry until I breach the next cavern.

Also, it's a carnage to me because I am used to anything that moves killing at least one of my dorfs.

Also, I just made a Tanner's workshop out of ice. Out of context this is hilarious.

I caught my other giant mole, and she's quite the specimen, being strong and fat. Also a towering 3 eyed web spinner elephant arrived and thants to some forethought, i raised the gate so I could throw up some meager defences. Never thought I'd need marksdwarves to kill something. Normally my melee dwarves do all the real fighting.

[Mageziya]

Well my sworddorf just killed a giant olm, alone, in about 3 or 4 real life seconds. No injuries. Also killed some more crundles.
And a Giant earthworm. Earthworm blood is eeeeeveeerrywheeeerrreee.

There is even earth worm vomit.

Halp me I don't know what is going on here.

In total 16 kills.

Your swordsdwarf is gonna work themself to death if they're fighting constantly.

A vile force of darkness has arrived! And amazingly, while I was ready to cheat like a sone of a bitch, my under equipped milita is actually wining. Hell they actually formed something resembling a formation before the battle became heated! three marksdorfs managed to machinegun almost all of the axegoblins in the le, some passing out. I think there's only three who haven't basically had thier legs shot out from under them. As soon as the last volley was fire, the life miners charged with the marksdwarves close behind. Pick met flesh, dagger met brain, and most of the siege lay broken. The siege leader's cave swallow will make good eatin'.

I had a single spearmaster (courtesy of a goblin siege, he ran out, went into a martial trance, was hacked at by no less than 12 goblin lashers for 2 months before he was relieved, He was incrediby hard to tire and near unkillable, sadly a goblin whip-saber cut off his head in the next siege which made it through the gate and murdered everyone) when i found my first crundle batch, all my militiadwarves had full iron and steel weapons but i was bored, so i sicced them on the crundles, 83 crundles later (30 accredited to my spearmaster the rest evenly distributed amongst the other squads) the cavern was covered in blood and miasma, and crunde bits, cundle bits EVERYWHERE! I found myself suddenly overwhelmed and my meat industry supercharged. Until the next gobbo siege. Haven't seen any crundles since.

[RabblerouserGT]

I take it outpost liasons talk to expedition leaders, right?

Just my luck. Last time I pushed my luck with trades and ticked off the merchant when trading.
This time, my expedition leader when moody and made a table... go figure.

[Splint]

Four soldiers hospitalized, two with missing legs, and a baby gutted. The siege was killed to the man in response. As I refuse to decommission soldiers who toughed out such injuries and survived. I'm going to send the lifeminers and the Urists of Doom after the FB. It can't kill all of them.

Regardless, the goblin christmas was a windfall. I now have axes a plenty and metal armor for my soldiers.

She has the default military setup, so she sleeps at will, often when I need her most to stop that army of crundles from killing my livestock.

I do try to set her to in-active regularly since I am afraid she will become unhappy due to the draft.

[Splint]

Just seal off your needed workspace and assign her one or two recruits to train if you can. Keep them drilling nonstop, and it'll become a nonissue and having three swordsdorfs will speed up crundle cleansing.

So the siege cost me this years caravan. The enemy was here just long enough for the window to close. oh well. Maybe the migrants will think we died and no more will show up.

[angrysully]

A giant bird that "dwarfs" dragons appeared right as the human traders were leaving and killed one.  I'm hoping this does not cause them to siege me.  I managed to kill the beast with my 50 man army and 50 war dog support with only one marksdwarf death (recruit for less than a minute).  If you kill big creatures, will they be butchered for food automatically or do you have to do something special for certain monsters?

[Splint]

Usually most non humanoid creatures will be cut up on thier own. But sometimes you may need to build the shops to process them next to them.

The FB slipped in through the well, and was met by a flurry of recently aquired axes, angry fists and a copper sword. Hell, the teeming child horde even got involed and actually dove on it instead of running.

EDIT: A stray bit of FB webbing resulted in a caged engraver. I'm half tempted to try and sell him for lulz.

Dunno who scored the kill because it was a bleedout, but the caverns, such as they are, are safe once more.
