Sorry to hear that Huggz. I suppose I'll take another turn. Do you have any preferences on which dwarf you want?

Also, I signed up for a turn in the fourth week, but go ahead and postpone me into the fifth week.

[Huggz]

Preferably omeone in the army

Done. I gave you a siege engineer.

The fight between the goblin/troll army and the bronze colossus is going slowly. They've managed to almost entirely disable the colossus, while it's only killed one troll. I guess they'll be out there for a long time.

[Xieg]

I had the game running for about 23 hours on my laptop, and I only just got through a year.  Would come back every 20 or so minutes and setup a new set of pumps.  If it wasn't for all those interruptions we would have had a magma death machine already.

[db48x]

Yea, it's running pretty slowly: 8 FPS

Slowly getting things done. All the goblins have left, and the bronze colossus has taken to chasing the last few trolls around. At some point he got a lot more dangerous. For quite a while he didn't kill any of the combatants, but he after a while he managed to kill half a dozen or so of them, so they ran away.

[db48x]

Heh, I've been working steadily on the pump tower, ignoring the battle outside, and when I finally do go back to look, the bronze colossus has gotten himself caught in one of the cage traps out in the middle of the field. That just leaves a single troll.

So, we sallied forth into the glare of the daystar to rid ourselves of the last of the invaders, a single troll. I was the one dual-wielding battle axes. Huggz, you brought a hunk of cow cheese. As we were marshaling in front of the gates, you decided to take it back inside to a stockpile. We waited for you though, and soon charged into the field against our foe. About half way across the field of battle, I realized that it was past my bedtime and so went to go lie down. The rest of you weren't fast enough to properly engage the enemy, who kept dodging your attacks and then outdistancing you by many urists. Back and forth across the fields our valiant militia chased the hideous troll, until several days later and through no fault of our own, it was caught in one of the cage traps above the entrance to the fort. A great cheer echoed through the halls and down the great staircase, each dwarf taking it up in turn to spread the news. In we rushed, for hunting trolls is thirsty work, and this is as good an excuse as any to throw a party.

Fixed.

Yes. 

Does anyone know if these jerks are killable in 31.03?  We may have to experiment with a several hundred z-level drop if no one has done that kind of science to them yet.

It seems like all the units level up with experience, not just the good guys.  I can't support this with facts, but that's been my experience so far.

I've heard colossi are more dangerous without hands or feet, as well.

Hah, that's actually pretty hilarious. I believe the only thing not broken and red are his left hand and foot. 50% dangerous?

[db48x]

Well, we had been making such good progress. The forgotten beast Sospin got in somehow. He didn't pop like the last forgotten beast made of water. Instead, he squished 8 dwarves before I managed to get the militia sorted out. I finally got one squad to follow orders (dead militia captains, grr) and they met him in the barracks. Burnt, you and I died, along with 10 other dwarves. The Beast's two tails have been lopped off, but he keeps bumping into us, occasionally crushing our skulls in the process.

The really bad thing is that I have no idea how he got inside. He first started causing trouble all the way down in the magma forge area. It's possible he slipped past the fight between Cuthabe and the giant eagles and didn't encounter anyone on the stairs on the way down, but I'm not sure. I had already finished closing up the exposed aerial route in via the second cavern, and anyway I don't think he can fly.

I'm going to take a break and then revert to my save from a few hours ago.

[Xieg]

Ouch, I thought I had sealed that off.  Must have missed something.

Although I guess its good that the eagles are still alive and kicking.  Those are some badass birds to take on tangling with a steam blob for eternity.
