Oh, bloody hell. Here I was, getting mad at my marksdwarves who seemingly refuse to pick up a crossbow and bolts, no matter what I do... And then I realise I'm yelling at dwarves with like, a few working arms between them. :/
I feel mean now...

You don't need the statues, but i do think it'ds a nice addition since you can decorate all your statues with blood and rotate them out of the area as needed, nice work

yeah the statues are just for the nice work effect ... its just odd when you use the best statues in the fort .. civillians tend to walk around the beautyful statues ^^

[Captain Mayhem]

First post. Here goes!

Spent such a long time yesterday setting up a proper danger room that could handle several squads at once. I believe it's 82 squares big, took hours to make all the training spears and link every single trap to a lever (kindof regret I didn't think of setting it to a repeater instead, but ohwell).

So when I finally have set it all up, dressed my 20 soldiers in full armor and all the other preparations, I pull the lever. Success! Everything worked, so I set it to repeat for a while, checked back with them a few times to look at their skyrocketing skills. All fine and dandy.

The next month, those alcoholized lemmings suddenly decided that it's bring-your-child-to-work-day. Four toddlers dead in 10 seconds flat.

great quota up that by assigning dogs and or warelefants (i used to have a fort with allmost 100 bred war elefants where 2/3rd died gruesomely in the dangerrooms btw you can save alotta place by making one room for each squad with a 1*1 area ..encapsulated with very nice statues and engraved walls/floor .. thats enough .. they can dodge etc even when sitting down

like that ..Behold great Art!!

I just tried that. It, uhm, got me some interesting results. Dwarves do kindof catapult around while trying to dodge the spears. Apparently, they're ninja enough to dodge through a locked door and on top of the statues

On the plus side, i got a legendary metalcrafter.

note to self:
MINERS ARE STUPID.
More then the rest of the dwarfs.
they get the degree in mining by smashing rocks with their head.
Never ever again leave a bunch of dwarfs unattended and with the purpose of digging a MOAT. NEVER. EVER.
only one survived the drowning.
and now, since they dug also too near a cliff, water is pouring down, and not even filling up all the moat. argh. and it's raining!

I feel mean like a DF Overlord now...

Fixed that for you.
Welcome to the land of cheerful psychopaths.

The trick is to keep the training area as small as possible.
Imagine a cross of 5 in diameter with armor stand sourrounded by a door each side and one spot for the spears, thats maximum to cover... supports 4 full squads. just block everything else around with natural walls and doors. i would graph it down but smartphoning atm

[Rushmik]

My miners were chipping away the cliff-side of my oceanside fort, and I'd forgotten about the murky pool that the walls were built over. They dug it away and all five of my legendary miners were swept into the deep.

[Sjotrik]

Got my first goblin siege in just a minute ago.

I was making a strategy plan on how to survive 18 goblins and a giant toad by funneling them through the lots of cage traps, and unpaused.
A few moments went on, and my soldiers waited for the goblins. :O
Then, i saw them coming... from the DAMN WELLS!

Seems like i forgot to wall of my channels which led to my wells in the middle of my fort. -.-

/FACEPALM!

i killed all of them without casualties though. victory!

Metal bins are worth more!
But seriously, magma that guy.

[Keldane]

Or not. Wooden bins are easy to produce under most circumstances, and are useful things for him to mandate production of. Individually selecting items for trade just takes a bit longer, and hey, you can still export metal ones with their contents.
