Dum Dum DUMMMM.....

Now I will leave it up to those around now, attempt to capture for arena fights? Or battle it out right here, right now? We have 8 Goblin Wrestlers, 3 Goblin macemen, and a Goblin swordsman on a beakdog. So fairly minor.

Rather than tell you the events that occured, I will show you!
http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-952-waspurnsfirstsiege
I realized too late that I didn't stop to look at the wounds or who was doing the wounding. One reason why I am an advocate of combat text in fortress mode. But let me give you the tally.

Vasili: No kills this time around.
Rika: No kills this time around.
Lyudmila: 1 goblin wrestler
Bahlthier: 1 goblin maceman
Yougie: 1 goblin wrestler
Gawier: 1 goblin swordsman, 6 goblin wrestlers.

My inital numbers were waaaay off. The military handled this one, but where was the fortress guard? anyway the scaryness of Gawier shines through. Either that or he's a kill stealing jerk...

I always find that the fortress guard are pretty useful as a last line of defense. As you can't control where they move they will tend to mill around with the rest of the civilian population. If any sneaky ambush parties get past your main military that is distracted by other goblins, a well trained fortress guard will save the day by defending your civilians from the evil doers while the army is on the other side of the map.

17th of Hematite, Year 12, Village Waspurn;

Again, so much has happened in such a short amount of time. First the goblins sieged us, we captured a fair amount and the others, well lets just say only one walked away and even he wasn't unscathed. Shortly there after the humans dropped on by for some trading. Having recently come into posession of several items of clothing that are far to narrow for us, I think we will have plenty to sell.

In other news I have been elected Mayor! I thank you all for the honor, and hope that I meet your expectations. Neo will continue to do the clerical work, and the trading. I will start off my reign as mayor by building a new arena, one of grand nature that will provide entertainment for years to come.

I would like to forward a proposal:

I think our fortress can benifit from having an underground cistern, and it will convey many advantages.

-I will no longer have to fish outside in the brook, and therefore will be less vulnerable to sudden bolt to chest syndrome.

-We will be able to give water to our casualties faster.

-And lastly, but most importantly, goblins cannot swim.

And yay for being a champion!
Gawier is a monster.... :-\

About my dwarf... being in a relationship isn't strictly necessary, it's just that it would be funny. It would be acceptable to just give me any old noob, give him a pickaxe, and draft him.

Underground cistern. A good idea, I have acutally been digging out the area under the river, we can certainly put it there. The well is in a fairly good location to actually extend into a cistern.

Shoruke, I've given you one of our legendary miners gave him one of the new steel pickaxes, Inaluct received the other.

We got a small amount of coal, but really not nearly enough. Rather we have several types of metal bars in case of unreasonable mandates. With that out of the way, we can now focus on buying wood and coal.

6th of Malachite, Year 12, Village Waspurn;

Not seconds after all the pig iron was made into steel, I decided we need a few pig iron items around here. The smiths have vehemently refused, stating it's impossible to make pig iron into items. I took their comments in stride, perhaps I am just irritable about the lack of alcohol recently, but I have refused their request to rescind the mandate.

Isn't that how things always work? As soon as you think or say something you need or don't want to happen, the game decides to find some way to cause you trouble.

Always seem to get my first ambush around the time I decide to start working on military, or when I actualy need an item from the caravans, they never have it.

You know the request for pig iron items or bismuth items... That's just, evil. You're basically assuring the beating or jailing of one of your citizens.
