I think my current fort is imitating my battles at Flamebanner. I removed the babysnatchin tag from goblins so that instead of thieves and ambushes, they send sieges. Well, I got a siege with just 7 dwarves, and I hastily recruited my two planters, made them crossbows and a pile of bolts, and waited for the goblins. The siege force was 2 goblin pikemen, 7 lashers, and 7 wrestlers. This was on an oceanside fort, and to prevent the waves from being annoying I had walled off the coastline, leaving my only access point a three wide walkway to some ramps that would lead down into my fort. The entrance was open air, with the actual way into my fort facing out towards the walkway at a cross. The order was given to retract the bridge, and it disapeared just as the first goblin neared the bridge. The lashers and wrestlers had made it up to my bridge, while the pikegoblins were on the crosswalk. My planter/recruits rushed out and used bone bolts and wood crossbows to shoot off the pikemens limbs. Completely severed all the limbs with bolts, from at least 40 tiles away. The siege was broken, and the goblins started fleeing. My planters picked off every last one of them, and each and every one of them lost a limb or two. My refuse pile was filled up entirely with bodyparts (11x4 pile) and I had to designate a new one for the corpses.
