No clue about windmills, but water wheels are better.

Yes, but you seem to have forgotten the lack of water on this map.

I guess I'll find out soon enough.

Don't think of it as being besieged by thralls/husks, think of it as having your own personal moat of life hating mutilated menaces

Now wall yourself in quickly

I just realized, after adding the new body parts to the other races, that I have an entire squad of dwarves with a shield in each hand and swinging their axes with their penises. There's nightmare fuel for those goblins, in more ways than one.

Is this on the map I'm playing right now? Windmill power output varies from area to area.

The power output of a windmill is pretty much random. I think 40 is the maximum.

Why do you want to get everyone killed abcul? Also, you can toss all our mugs at them, we'll have more than enough by spring to trade out the elves and the humans.

I don't WANT to get everyone killed, I just know they're all doomed.

You're planning to actually let them outside, and it would appear that you left the entrance unsealed allowing kobolds to enter... Also we've been living off the wood the caravans have been bringing every now and then, I remember asking for wood and barrels form the dwarves so they should have some of both. I would have done the same for the humans but their liasion died in a unfortunate accident. Also, the first dwarven caravan took care of the two GCS at the cost of a few of their guards.

The wyrvens killed all the dwarves I sent at them, including several of our legendaries...

A wizard once taught me of this thing he called "savescumming"... I wonder if now would be a good time to use it...

So, should I savescum? It's been a long time since my last save...

I've never seen a tantrum spiral before, but I think I'm about to... though I could be wrong...

Tantrum spirals are the 2nd most epic thing that can happen; if you watch carefully you can see how one dwarf causes another one, that causes 2 more to have tantrums etc.

More random babble - Yesterday my fort of 300 dwarves decided that it was a good time to have a tantrum spiral, so in slow motion they all decided to completely screw up the fortress and run around pulling levers and other random/crazy things. <- In other words, its worth making huge fortress just to watch them emo themselves to death.
