Werwolves slaughtered my fortress.....
they attacked RIGHT when my axedwarves were away.
then when the axedwarves came home, they saw their dead friends, along with 15 werewolves.....

[TomiTapio]

Darn it, that's the third time today I lost a fort to a pack of werewolves.
Werewolves: 9 Me: 1/2

20 stones into 20 mechanisms, 20 log stacks into 20 wooden cages. 20 cage traps should add quite a bit of safety. Until you get 32 flayers on 32 elephants. Then it would be nice to have 6 elite weapon traps (I prefer copper and cobalt *spears*).

So Genesis kobolds are more like goblinoids who like mining?
More beast races? I think it's time for heavy quadrupeds! Not centaurs but rhino/elephant/slow-ogre civ! "The were-rhino sprays nauseating goo at you! The rhino-snot smells awful!"

I gave dogs [CAN_LEARN]. WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?!

Your enemies will bring dog surgeons and dog gemsetters into battle  (I used to get trolls with professions as siege animals.)

When do the first sieges normaly come? I haven't been playing Genesis since 31.13 (iirc) so I downloaded the latest version, built a heavily defended fort, trained three squads - all badass legendary and in red red steel from head to toe... And all got in four years was a couple of pesky kobolds. Damn. The world has two hostile civs and one at war but they just seem to have forgotten about me.

Are you sure they can get to you (you can check it during the embark phase only)? I usually get werewolf sieges as soon as I hit 20 dwarves.

P.S. Either you live in the east, or you pulled an all-nighter as I did .

I've abandoned the fort and re-checked the same embark site. Yep, they can but it's near a mountain range so I suppose it's a vanilla bug (direct route blocked or something else... oh nevermind).

Btw what are slabs for (except looking cool in Ironhand)? And what's generally better - artifact steel weapons or good old red steel axes? Better edge + worse steel or vice versa?

P.S. It's already 9.30 AM ))

Slab is the substitution for coffin once engraved at a craftsdwarf's workshop for any deceased with its body gone (not doing so would result something horrible(literally), or statue for designating a sculpture garden after been built.
i suppose this is what you asked?

Yes ))
New versions are released faster than I read wiki, sorry.

Note: I am finding they do not work for merchants' escorts. Get their bodies into a coffin before they rot away or there will be nothing you can do about it.

If that's true, im really lucky. I got the siege when i had 50 dorfs. Unfortunately, i forgot to train more  squads.

There's also a small trade trigger, so if you didn't trade, you get a chance to gather more immigrants. Also they come in winter only, so that gives you some more time too.

[Mechlin]

My next fortress got a cute little Thunderbird right in the middle of the first autumn. Which literally ripped apart all my rookie militia.

Well at least that was a quick end

Little fun story:

I combined this mod with lazy new pack. Turns out the launcher does some modifications to raws... I genned word, and while looking for embark site, i was wondering why i had no dwarfen civ anywhere, and why i had complete layers of native gold, silver, platinum, frozen spores and ichor. Okay, maybe something with the new version of DF... Selecting equipment, i had 5 different types of sand named "rock", and picks and other equipment made of "fireball". When i embarked, i was looking at big ball of smoke... Turns out, i was playing as yetis, and my fat was melting:D

[Deon]

Yes, wrong and duplicate raws cause it. LNP modifies quite a lot of raws.

[Saunatonttu]

But i have to admit, terrifying tundra whose topmost layer is composed of frozen ichor was kinda cool...

[Deon]

Yeah. Also I love random ctd .
