So, before finishing my impressive double layered curtain walls, or finishing my iron armor/weapons that I just put into production, a goblin ambush of 5 came and decided to smite me. Me, with 15 dwarves in my military, wept knowing how close I was to finishing arming my soldiers, and finishing off the uber curtain wall that would have made me even more self sustaining.
Sending out my soldiers I start rooting them on. Then cry. Battles not over yet but so far my only kills will be from my second squad (of which there were only 5, but they seem far more competent) who decided to kamakazi, and when they attacked the gobos near small ponds they grabbed them and jumped into the water (totally intended, they didn't just 'dodge' in there. Well...thats what it will say when I preside over their funeral if/when/maybe I get them out of the pond).
The majority of my dwarves so far seem to scared to even get close to the gobos, but then again I don't blame them. Still, they are my only defense, go sacrifice yourself you fools!
HAHAHAHA...boned...a second ambush came, and it came through the front door (which I hadn't raised yet hoping to salvage what I could of my cowardly ineffective military).
Yup...owned... If only they trained properly...
Oh ya, I forgot my outer walls were connected to the outside, so even closing off my fort did nothing.
Thought I would share in the first slaughtered fort I have had this version. ^.^
