You guys are fantastic. If not for you, I wouldn't have even tried putting Cacame up against the dragon and watching him utterly demolish it. I had to put him in the cage because it's the easiest way to get him into any one area (besides chaining him up) because the game still treats him like a tamed animal.
I have no idea what the ASM is, but I'm fine with Cacame going into anything you like.
Also, this is just my personal opinion (and I believe Cacame has absolutely grown beyond just my perception of him), but I don't actually see him with a beard (probably because most of the drawing you guys have done do not feature one). In my mind, he refuses to wear one, because he doesn't believe he's earned it yet because he hasn't wiped out the civ that ate his wife or something. Also, I think the "Competent" next to his Hammer skill is in fact actually what he believes his skill level to be, because if he was actually Legendary, he would be splitting the world in half with each swing.
The saddest thing about the next version will be that I can't carry this fortress forward, since it's supposedly going to break saves. But if by some miracle it doesn't, Cacame will be leading the charge to conquer the world.
The more I've been playing this fortress, the more it has become a concentrated ball of awesome. Beyond Cacame and all the stuff involving him, I've got a champion named Onul Shootchamber the Mechanical Ravager of Deciding (who is a Legendary Marksdwarf), about half of the fortress worships a god named Vucar, who is most often depicted as a skeletal male dwarf and is associated with death and fortresses (possibly the most apt dwarf god of all time), and I'm pretty sure my Baroness Consort has a split personality. I mean, check out her personality profile:
She is somewhat reserved, yet assertive. She is self-disciplined, yet impulsive. She is compassionate, yet does not go out of her way to help others.
