II had a war which in which a group of humans declared war on a single dwarf. Unfortunately for them the Dwarf was badass, so she won, every time.

20 - 30 humans in each attack

They must have been a suicide attack squad. I mean, they were awfully sucessful when rescuing Brian...

That dwarf might've gone into a martial trance every time they attacked her. Never, ever send huge armies after one already skilled dwarf.

You know how elves are usually on the losing side of the battle? I mean, they are in my worlds. Well, I just generated a large world where one legion of elves, calling themselves "The Feral Hills", has nearly wiped out humanity. Their tactics are brutal; drowning people, feeding people to animals, killing only parents and leaving behind orphans, destroying the town of Rosydistant twice... the list goes on.

You appear to have spawned a world where elves are badass. You'd best make your elf torture room out of pure adamantine just to be safe.

Dude, it's like the Law of Inverse Ninja Strength. Except with dwarf.

martial trances start at 5 attackers, i think.

Best way of dealing with a solo dwarf would be to send in either 4 elite crossbowmen, or send in enough archer-types to blot out the sun.

Also, i had continuous elves vs. goblins wars, usually over hunting trophy displaying. The elves kept sending more and more troops to assail this grey tower, and kept getting repulsed by X snatched elves, 34 goblins, and one demon, with fewer and fewer losses among the defenders

Other wars lead to random humans sitting around in towns getting an extra name.

I had a war waged entirely against a dwarf with no arms or legs once. He had 23 recorded kills. 0_o

The only way this could happen is if the dwarf fought from the water. Using his spine to imitate the movement of a carp.

As the assailants searched for their target, they would eventually tire and try to drink from the water. Then it would start. Slowly at first, one would go missing. Then another. Finally one attacker would notice another falling into the water and vanishing. They would charge in, to outnumber the dwarf. But that's what he would want. He'd go into a martial trance and devour them all.

The dwarven equivalent of Shaolin monks train themselves in seclusion in the ancient and mysterous ways of Carp-Fu, or "the art of nibbling your opponents to death."

Then we shall martial-trance in the shade

Nope. I've had dwarves trance at one fleeing goblin before. Or a groundhog. That was messy.

This alone is funny.

They are only supposed to martial trance when outnumbered. sounds like a bug.

"The War of Abbeymace"

Truly, the greatest conflict ever to rock the Eternal Universe. 6 civilization, the elves, most of the dwarves(Aside from one civilization consisting of 2 fortresses), and seven human towns were annihilated. The bloodshed was so great, and so many died, that the world was literally empty of life in the NW corner of the map, which at one time had been home to 3 of the civilizations. And what was the war ABOUT?!

About a stolen item.

A sock.

Truly a war befitting Dwarf Fortress.  I'm going to assume the Dwarves started it, because it's funnier that way.

God, it was just a spiraling chain of someone randomly attacking someone else.

But it was a Dwarf.
