Yep, I just got a 1 man seige.
on the map of the 39z level waterfall.
No mods used.
i just get a message saying a vile force of darkness has arrived. Well i wasnt too scared, but here we only have 1 wrestler.

Wtf?

[Sensei]

Mods? Maybe some are sneaking? Or you changed when they siege?

[Slogo]

Maybe the goblins are playing a trick on one of their new recruits.

[DennyTom]

Last goblin alive?

You made me literally lol.

[Hippoman]

Heres what happened.

Well im like, ok so i can take him.
Send my recruits in to patrol, drop the bridge.
BOOM, some guy cancels fish because a hippo. THat hippo was my sworn enemy, Wondrouswords. I smashed a bridge on his head once, and he broke it.

Anyway, he climbs behind my walls into my fort through the well. THen he procedes to kill dogs, horses, and my recruits who stood there not doing anything.

Then i checked the invasion, Oooh lookie, abour 14 goblins came. Yippe.
I call everyone in, they get in, of course Wondrouswords gets more kills, and gets attacked by 3 war dogs, (that he killed) 3 recruits, (which he killed), and a craftsdwarf...which he killed. ANyway i check to see if hes hurt, Nope, just tired.

He follows my retreating dwarves to my entrance, the merchants rip him to shreads.

The invasion comes, they do the same.


The point of the story is, If theres a one man seige, call everyone inside, because a hippo is going to climb through your well and eat your soldiers.

Hahaha, Only in DF could a 1-man army of one of the weakest creatures around turn into a bloodbath.

[Hippoman]

Lol the picture messed up.
Are you saying Hippo's are weak?!
OOOH YOU HAVENT SEEN WONDROUSWORDS...

anyway, any idea why none of my fortress guards or squads train? only 1 guy did, and now he doesnt.

Just the typical, check them for nervous injuries, check to make sure their hands aren't full of useless junk, and check to make sure you have an area designated as a barracks.

[Hippoman]

i have 3 barrackses, 6 archery targets, and none of them are hurt.

[zchris13]

Did you scroll down on the injuries page?

[Hippoman]

Yerp....

[zchris13]

Are they on active duty?

[Hippoman]

Yes im sure.
