Ok, since I abandoned my fortress (gobbo sieges hovered at 70 units or so, I was going to mod the gobbo, human, and dwarf breeding time to increase the number of goblins and humans besieging me, unless you guys know any other way), I decided to kill everyone off. Now I thought the small reclaim party I was given (21 dwarves to run a fortress with over 100 workshops that comfortably seated 200 dwarves with a created wealth of 3.5 mil) would be all that was left. But apparantly that didn't get saved, so my old fortress is still up.

What I have to fight:
Roughly 120 civilian dwarves.
15 champions, number dead, not sure.
About 30 other unimportant military dwarves.
10 elite crossbowmen.
20 crossbowmen.

First assault, playing a lone grand master or legendary in everything (cheats) dwarf: I managed to kill around 15 dwarves, including three champions. I was then shot in the leg, fell unconcious despite my high toughness, and was slowly beaten to death by civilians.

Second assault: I go in as a human demigod (once again, cheats) with the maximum number of followers. Unfortunatly, a marksman manages to hit me in the throat and I only can kill him, a champion, and three civilians before bleeding out. My meatshields killed two civilians and an elite wrestler before dying.

Third assault: TBA!

Third assault went better. Killed 30 dwarves, most of them military. Died to a champion speardwarf weilding a better spear than me. He was one of my guys who was legendary in all weapons but crossbow.

And that ended it. I decided to start a new fortress with a new world, so I supped up the goblins and had some fun.

(Also, the new goblins already ambushed me in spring 1 and killed my farmer.  )

What type of gobbos are you using?

[Milskidasith]

Nopain, nofear, size 9 gobbos without multiple litter rare. However, I do have a strong regiment of war cows, along with about 21 wrestling champions (haven't made weapons yet, working on armor).

[WorkerDrone]

Warcows? Epic.

[Milskidasith]

Closest thing I could get to war pigs.

I also made adamantine titans. They drop a masterwork adamantine platemail when they die.

The problem is, they are like a bronze colossi... except size 50000.

That's a problem? Cause it sounds like fun!

[Milskidasith]

Hmm. I think I may have put nofear and nopain in the wrong spots, because a recent goblin ambush had them falling unconcious and fleeing. Do those tags have to be somewhere specific?

Also, gobbos are size 8, not nine. They killed a wrestling champion after two squads led by human marksmen attacked me. The gobbos are ambushing pretty agressively now. They have two local leaders and two high priests in the area, and I'm roughly 15 squares (on the middle map on embark) from a gobbo fortress. So far I'm not doing bad. One of my hunters has over 150 kills now, it's like a stocked game preserve here.

[Milskidasith]

Err... scratch that. I'm not sure about nofear, but I entirely forgot nopain. Also, I forgot to mention the adamantine titan has all the tags demons do related to not getting trapped and such. Fun!

There are some Pigs that can be trained into just that, War Pigs, in the Rome Fortress mod, which has been provided by Teldin. Be sure to thank Teldin for his awesomeness.

[Eita]

Are they flaming War Pigs that are Super-Effective against Elephants?

[Milskidasith]

I was thinking more of the reference to tanks. Heh.

[Footkerchief]

Wait a second, you abandoned but everybody is still there?  How'd you manage that?

[Veroule]

If you place the fortress on an existing dwarf civ site then they will stay there happy and healthy.
