Do we have a "last measure" weapon, or am I supposed to lock everyone inside and make one?
Well, we have an unfinished (for now, you should work on it!) pipe heading into the underground that can be used to attack anything we run into.

You certainly mean the pipe that ended right in the residental area? If yes, I have only one thing to say, spoilered for good measure.

I don't recall it going into the residential area. I mean the one to the north of the main fortress.

Don't give up the ship! fort!  How many dwarves are left?  Where are the gobs?  Pics, man!  We must strategize.

There are 12 dorfs left in the emergency bunker I crafted in the caverns. It's protected by a rather huge moat (remmants of the failed waterfall project), and I've got some food going, also: 54 casualities, including the tantrum spiral in middle of an ambush. Yes, I got a migrant wave.
The current time is 23 Timber, and there are 12 units of meat, 94 units of plants, four biscuits, and some seeds (plump helmet and pig tail). Also including: Farmable land, loads of silver, 1 pick, but no good miner, and finally, a breeding pair of cats. Oh, and the gobbos are just dancing around the fort killing war dogs.
This might be salvageable.

Aha.  Y'know, this is precisely why frequent updates are nice. 

I mean, I don't think there's a single person in this thread who wouldn't want to know how the hell we got into that situation.  It's stonking epic.

And include some pictures for Dog's sake.


Also, I'm going to assume that Sigun has long since kicked the bucket.  Pity...  He had a very nice name.

I'm trying to fight off apparently invictible goblins, one of which who took on our entire military at once and killed them with only his foot bruised. I'm not posting pictures which might be outdated due to savescumming, and/or reclaim.

Woohoo! What I originally thought was a problem with the motherboard was actually a problem with the power supply. It's a shame too, it was a nice Logisys one.

Anyways, what I thought would be a difficult $90 problem to fix turns out to be an easy $50 fix.

So, immortal goblins? Has anyone tried out Ballistae yet?

I can honestly say I've never seen a fortress messed up with such speed and efficiency.

I see only one solution: move the whole fort into the underground!

Maybe you can find a way to make a self-sustaining bunker! that'd be neat.

Okay, it's official; I have just killed Cavebrands.
In fact, I just did it in three different ways.
Suicide, goblincide combined with suicide, and lavacide (thanks for the info Barbarossa)
The effect in #2 is semi-desirable, but we need to salvage some dorfs.
Also, due to no after-invasion save, I'll be reverting to Felsite, where we still have 66 dorfs and the military still alive.
The bunker was barely on the drawing chart then, so I think I'll make it self-sustainable this time, with 1-2 miltary dorfs salvaged for protection against the usual cave croc.
