Concern? Problems? He is, in finest military tradition, calling his underlings girls. He may proceed.

My MALE Militia captain named the squad "the helmed women". I'm now extremely concerned about him(her?)
He's giving you a hint to fill up the rest of the squad with women, so they can "train."

Also, battle babies.

Oh hey, a leopard that's annoying the crew. Well that shouldn't be a problem...

*Three minutes pass*

Skilled Axedwarf dead, Expert Markmen dead, Military Commander struck with melancholy. Leopard unscathed.

Well hell's belles.

Two of my starting seven are now dead, with another seriously injured, due to my inability to make a mist generator.  *Facepalm*

"We need a mist generator."
"Shouldn't we setup sustainable farming and housing before embarking on something that could potentially kill us all for almost no value whatsoever?"
"We need a mist generator.

When 20 migrants showed up with a herd of animals, I figured it was time to figure out what this whole "pasture" thing in the latest version was (I haven't touched the game since 40d). Oh, and hey, what the heck is a Beekeeper? And what does this High Master Potter do? And I got a High Master Glassmaker!

In fact, I was so busy playing with all the new industries....that I forgot to build any defense.

*facepalm*

6 goblins show up. It's okay, I'll just let the caravan guards deal with it.

Only, elves don't bring any guards.

*facepalm*

After they kill off half my dwarves and butcher all my livestock, I figure it is time to save-scum.

Nearest save happened before the last immigrant wave.

The new batch doesn't have anybody above Novice skill in anything.

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Sometimes you can have creatures dodge attacks and go UP levels, There have been danger room dwarfs that are on the top of a piller with 10 spears dodge 5 spaces away because if you dodge 5 times, you move 5 spaces at once, and they end up on the wall surronding the danger room.

Any thoughts on how this can be abused?
Around these parts It's called weaponized.

A forgotten beast comes.
"Hmm, a chestnut coyote with no eyelids couldn't be too hard to defeat right? I'll just dig down to the floor and send my military to defeat him."
WRONG.
He slaughters my entire military and races up the stairs. Everyone in the fortress is killed by the giant beast. I look at the units screen. Strangely, some dwarves are still alive. So, I unforbid the hatch covers to let them escape. Unfortunately, these dwarves were the dwarves who were LOCKED OUTSIDE during a goblin ambush. The coyote runs outside and eats them.
And thus is the end of Phaserazors.

Ugh, really took too long getting a good metalworking industry up. Second ambush in a row, and not even half my dorfs are really equiped for it(They still have low quality iron! Geez! As well as only having half their uniform). Knew I should have put in a temp magmaworks while I built the pumpstack, but hey, I thought I was actually going quick with it.

On the plus side, I think I've got this marksdorf thing figured out...though it would help if I could get a bone carver who. Is. Above. Novice! REALLY helps when they don't take a whole month to carve a single stack of bone bolts, forcing me to divert weapon-smiths on metal bolts...

I'm quite embarrassed to say that for quite a long time I thought pressing "o" in the trade screen was the button you pressed to trade...  ::)

I did that until I got a broker first time, by that time I realised that I wasn't actually getting the goods I was "trading", and when I appointed my broker I realised the values I was offering weren't right and that's why t wasn't working.

You could, you know, simply buy smeltable stuff and supplement it with goblinite...
