Mine are a Crossbowman, an Axeman, and an architect. He caves in the enemies with blueprints.

I didn't say he was alive or I modded the files if you are suggesting that.

I usually don't have allies, as they usually turn on me.  If I do get allies its usually just so I can lure them into the woods and dispose of them at my leisure. I once kept a swordsdwarf alive for 3 and a half days using a iron whip; by the end of it he was so gutted and had lost so much blood that the fatal blow was just a ripped thumb.

I really hope that toady fixes it so that ant entire civilization is angry at you for a murder they have no way of knowing that you committed.

Incidentally did you know that a dwarf with two broken arms will bite, but a dwarf with 2 broken arms AND a broken neck will push? Strange.

Comon, there must be something that's about the right size for a dwarf to ride.  Like, um, giant sparrows?

Anyway, I like to give my followers personalities.  All the personalities happen to be the same, actually.  Meat shield who runs off and gets killed by a huge gang of orcs.

Seriously, if my followers would just stay in formation we would probably have a better chance of attacking an orc fortress successfully.

The world of Dwarf fortress is one of slapstick. Very rarely do success and hilarity coincide

I usually go solo. Trying to find a way to make children available to be companions so I can use them as meatshields.

I was thinking more on the lines of modding, but sure. Still haven't come across one, yet. Trying to figure out how to make a custom race to play as so I don't get lost as Hell trying to get food (yeah, I'm that nooby).
