Be worried, Sparks. Mandrills come in waves, just like other, less insane animals. I lost like 5 dwarves to an abnormally large wave once. There were something like 12 or more mandrills. It was bad.

Sparks. Mandrills

Spark Mandrill

Damn you, Mega Man X!
On a slightly more related note, yeah, mandrills are bad. Some of the most fun wildlife to have, though, especially early on. Pretty nice defense you've got planned, though. More than enough to deal with the monkeys, I'll bet.

Hahahah, I never caught that. Anyways, can they be caught/tamed/used against gobbos?

[jester]

Um.. your defences look good.  do you realise that 6 cage traps will usually stop the blue bastards in their tracks and gives you something to thow in your prison to play with your pows. 
  Mandrills are one of the few things that I have lost forts to in the last 2 years.  sometimes if you wipe out a whole wave they will not come back.

Guys, help. My immigrants arrived, there's shit that needs to be done, but no one wants to do it for some odd reason. Out of the 14 dwarves, 10 are idle bastards.
EDIT: They seem to be working on the stairs now.. No telling for how long until they go back to being DO DE DUM BLAH BLAH IM DUMB

Did they just arrive? Are they blinking gray Xs? Migrants take a minute or two to become available for work.

Activate stone detailing on all of 'em and smooth the world!

By the way, do you ever have unarmed dwarves outside of the defended area?

[BoBoTheBum]

Resources being a bucket of water, a bed and possibly a few minutes of some dwarfs time?

That is a HUGE drain of resources. What if there is lye to be made at this second? Who KNOWS what kind of terror would befall a fortress if a lyemaker was tied up in giving someone a drink of water.

I've never been attacked by mandrills before, so I wouldn't know anything about them.

I've been bugged by rhesus macaque(spelling?) raids from the very start, though, but it's no big deal. They're such big cowards that even the newest recruits in my ragtag military can scare them off with no bother

No. Everyone's on stand-down.

Yep, they work now. Thanks ye.

One of them recovered; the other... Well, no way I'm supporting another philosopher for a few years just so he could be of use. I forbid his door. No graveyard. No books or engravings will ever include him. He never existed. Talk about him and you get 50 hammer strikes.



SO ANYWAYS, HOW DO YA GUYS LIKE MY WORKSHOPS?

Oh god, I got immigrants by the first autumn, and now THIS!!! What the hell.. No warning or anything, they just out of nowhere came and ambushed me.. I was at least expecting a diplomat so I could kill him. This might be the end to possibly the best fort evar.

 Are those kobolds? Elves? Goblins?
 I always wanted to imply graphics sets were difficult to understand in a proper context.

ELVES, SIR!
THEY JUST KILLED ME. ;_;

[ZergSpartan]

ELVES, SIR!

Bwa Ha ha ha ha

[Duke 2.0]

 Elves: THAT'S FOR KILLING THE INNOCENT MANDRILLS!

 Which is why I occasionally make fortresses with elves to have them killed by the very things they chide us over.

 NO BEDS FOR YOU ELF.
