My reclaimed fort is coming along nicely - I've almost cleared up all the junk that was left lying around, although there are a lot of items that show red in the stocks list and cannot be moved. I've also still got a lot of non-aggressive "hostile" civilians hanging around outside - upgrading to 42.04 hasn't fixed either of these bugs.
There are a lot fewer people than there were, though - because a were-buffalo goblin showed up and massacred several. (It somehow got hold of some chicken-leather armour, which it used to bash in several heads. It also grabbed someone by their upper leg and shook them around until the severed part flew off in an arc). The werebuffalo then turned back into a goblin (and for some reason I only then got the "The Goblin Gobbo McGoblinson has arrived!" message). He then got into a fight with a visiting swordsman, who for some reason was naked, and resorted to bashing the goblin in the head with a musical instrumnt, until the swordsmn passed out from exhaustion and the goblin esaped.
In fact, most of my non-hostile "hostile" visitors are short of clothes - I had a human lord wandering around, equipped with a pike, a helm, and a breastplate, and nothing else.
I've also had three sieges - two of which immediately ran off, while the third had all their melee-goblins flee levaing 5 archers/crossbow goblins, who were nicely positioned to allow my militia to approach from behind cover, and wipe out with only minor injuries.
In more peaceful news, I've made a few artefacts - including some sort of guitar-type instrument with two images on it: one represetning the original founding of the fortress, and the other illustrating the goblin invasion that it succumbed to. I've also got a plain-but-useful artefact spear, a rather fancier artefact buckler, and an artefact native silver bed. (Plus some useless artefact crafts).
