Well, the HFS fort breach, while a bloodbath for the military, is a success. The initial charge and the start initially went well, but soon it started going south for the melee dwarves. It seemed to have been a combination of the marksdwarves stopping the suppressing fire (had to station them to get them to pick up the bolts and start firing again) and the melee guys getting webbed. One of the swordsdwarves did survive for some reason (I suspect cowardice......), but ALL of the marksdwarves survived. Though one died later after going insane I think or somehow.
However, the demon fort is secured (except for the inner passageway, the entrance is floored off) and since I had captured two sieges worth of a mass of goblins and trolls, I have an idea of using them as cannon fodder so to speak.
Also, I've just noticed in the new migrant wave that there is a new vampire, while some stats are better than the first guy, I've, cultivated, the first guy for like, a decade now. Besides, this new one doesn't have as much in the way of military skills. I have an idea perhaps for this new one.
I've been having real trouble getting the falcons (two males, one female, all offspring of the female that died a short time ago) to produce fertile eggs. Maybe I'll just use mongooses instead or something. Also, I've realized all the cats are dead, but the fort has had a low vermin population for decades now anyway.
Oh yeah, I think using wooden shields against demons might not have been such a great idea, especially when there are fire breathing demons.
AAAA! Okay, huge fail.
