Aftermath of a Fun™ siege that took out 25%~ of my population
« on: July 07, 2009, 06:55:19 pm »

So, a siege come, right after the human caravan, and a squad spawn on top of the human diplomat (In the east).
So i rush my 16 dwarf strong military out to defend the peasants going for his socks (Didn't think about forbidding them)...
No problem, but then I get a message about a guard dying, I zoom to my fort and....
Oh... Oh God....
The blood....

I left open my flanks and 2 other squads are now south and north of my base, a single shift-click away from the main shaft...
The northern squad moves in, and my military being south-east after a chase pause to engage the southern troops, leaving the northern army with no resistance but what my guards can put up.

So, my 130~ strong fort are 20~ dwarves poorer, and I learned an important lesson in fort defense: get your civvies inside to safety, lock up, and have an emergency squad stationed.
Pic related, it's the aftermath.

Oh well, I had Fun™
UPDATE:
Oh shit... guards are taking turn in tantrumming, a few civilians are joining in now and then, and my military are all unhappy... This fort is a ticking bomb...
UPDATE2:
"Migrants refused to journey to such a dangerous fortress this season."
...

Killed by GOBLINS?
Bah, you are weak. The humans should have provided a distraction while you got your defences up at least!
Were they all bow-goblins or something?

Well treat me like the disease like the rats and the fleas, A-ha-ha! A-ha-ha!
Well treat me like the sea oh so salty and mean, A-ha-ha! A-ha-ha!
Let's shake hands if you want but soon both hands are gone, A-ha-ha!
Cut me down like a tree like the lumber or weeds, well discard who you please like the leaves off a tree. Drag me out of the sea and then teach me to breath. Give me forced health till I wish death on myself. Ah! Ha! Ha!
March on! March on! March on! March on! MARCH ON!

I would like to point out that this is not DF 3.0, but DF 0.3.

It would be epic if only those were Ender Goblins.
A species some forumgoers refuse to acknowledge for the sake of their own sanity.

I just imagined a Dwarf armed with the Super Hammer going "PWIIIING" like a bat in Super Smash Brothers-gobbo flies off past the horizon, screaming for mercy, and a tremendous voice calls "GAME SET!"
