"A vile force of darkness has arrived!"
Me: "EVERYONE INSIDE"

A group of macegoblins being lead by a bowmaster.

"The dead walk. Hide while you still can!"

Awesome. About 75 zombies.

"The dead walk. Hide while you still can!"

Wat. Another 150 or so. Most of them are elves, that's a respectable necromancer.

Great, 225 zombies v ~20 goblins v 94 dwarves.

Spoiler: proof of the two sieges, and the treehugger apocalypse (click to show/hide)

Trying to get everything organized after another HUGE migration wave. Also trading away just about everything that I don't see as absolutely necessary in favor of food and wood.

Do glass windows stop water?

[Splint]

My weaponsmith went funny in the head and produced a veritable hammer of mass destruction, Citost Covorb, The Gallows of Rasps, a golden warhammer. Makes me wish I had had platinum handy. Warband Sergeant Cotram Brandedqueen, you gonna be rolling with some functional bling o' war.

Do glass windows stop water?

Yup.  You got something cool planned?

[ArchAIngel]

Yup, trying to make a waterfall. This is the second attempt, first failed because I forgot that water will build up pressure. now, masterwork doors for the plugs!

Modbold ambush before the first winter. However, Mountain barbarians are never afraid and in a show of defiance, the entire settlement charged, fully intending to drown the enemy in sheer numbers (Modbolds are on average larger than kobolds but smaller than dwarves, forcing them to wield thier weapons multigrasp.) With a second home caravan also in-depot giving us additional warriors to throw at the raiders.

Honestly went better than expected.

Because the modbolds spent all thier time being chewed on by dogs or getting knocked on thier asses, nobody was seriously injured (A few nasty bruises, superficial cuts and mental trauma of killing really.) As an added bonus, we now have the uniforms to trade in spring (or summer, not sure if they'll arrive in spring) plus swords and shields for the 'Emergency Response' corps, which will make them far deadlier to the next ambushes.

EDIT: Spoke too soon. second ambush of modbolds led by a mounted swordsman. Someone got his foot cut so I think he's going to be leaving a widow, who actually I think is one of the caravan guards.

Setting pop cap to 30 before starting this game didn't help. 50 dwarves since last migration wave. Oh well, let's close the doors and shut down everything: I have water, magma, a working tree farm and eggs. Autarcy ftw!

10 secondes later, 4 squad goblin ambush + necromancer. Phew.

Finally managed to get one animal from each biome locked away in little rooms in the sub-sub-basement.  This means no more undead giant mosquitos, giant thrips, and crow men attacking my masons and knocking them off of the scaffolding 60+ stories above the ground.  Which means I can let the guys do their thing without close supervision, while I'm actually getting non-DF work done.  This should help get things done in a more reasonable time-frame.

[Splint]

Welp, I have two people who've been crippled, or it may have been the same guy, I have no idea. Thanks to having added assitant physician positions, We'll have the wounded seen to. I also need to reorganize the emergency response corps to get the cripples out (If they can't use a shield and weapon effictively, they're functionally useless to me as soldiers,) arm them with the plundered arms of the modbolds, and shift the bodies to a trash compactor, but we won.

I've been digging out large apartments for all of my dwarves, each fit with a bedroom, storage room, area with an office/dining space, and private statue garden/tomb. Unfortunately, it's pretty early in the fortress and migrants are coming faster than I can handle them, so while some dwarves are living in luxury, most are roughing it in the temporary small sand bedrooms. Also since I've given up using traps to add more fun I've incorporated a maze (large enough for the caravan wagons to get through) made of fortifications, with a line of ballistae overlooking it all.

[Gigaz]

My vampire who is imprisoned to be the eternal bookkeeper and manager has a strange mood. I've let him go and do his moody things for now, I hope that I don't regret it.

Urist McVampire cancels Strange Mood - Really needs some blood.

That's what I don't want to read.

[Splint]

So I've learned that snatcher races humerously "kidnap" animals they bring or buy for trading. The assitant physician patched everyone up ina prompt fashion, and ecidently someone lost thier foot. A werezebra child (a dwarf most of the time) got beat to death by a horde of angry barbaians. Probably pissed on the mineral god's temple wall or something, and in a show of respect, had a slab engraved for the little guy, and may do so for the fallen modbold warriors as well, as they put up a good fight.

I've also learned what the hell a Trondebbe is. Go on and say it out loud. Anyway, it's some kind of clear meated annoying bitey thing that flies. Imagine a crundle with wings and no arms, and you got it.

And now I've realized that I'm going to have enemy marksmen to contend with, something I normally ensure i don't.

God damn it.

[MrWillsauce]

My strength was broken by a zombie army due to siege operators being fucking pussies.

[Vodrilus]

First time on Kobold Camp.

OMG the endless septuplets!!!
