That's a sweet as sweetbread fortress you got going there! Be sure to tell me when a forgotten beast swims in and shreds every living thing in sight!

I thought this was a fucking joke!

Dude, that's bad-ash

Kor met his unfortunate end.

I decided to try and string up some sort of militia to test the system (I am never very combative.. I typically seal off the only exit using a two-chamber system. One with a depot that is always open, the other that is closed at all times unless to allow migrants in/trader out). This was very fortunate, because in the same hour Kor decided to pop up and scare some bucket-luggers filling a pond. One of them just happened to have a battle axe and cut off his head.

Nice. Just don't tell me it ended up in the water.

[Iban]

His body is strewn up near the farm.

Good riddance, I suppose. Ash makes good fertilizer.

[Caesar]

I've still got to have one of those guys to show up..

Could you make soap out of the ashes of that thing?

[Iban]

I'll run a test in a second, but I doubt it.

P.S. How do I get Militia to kill these god damn goblins pissing in my depot?

[Iban]

Militia is still useless, ash is useless, and now I have another freak of nature busting down my door.

If I had a name like "Xubkib Githuosel Xubkibazoc Masli", I'd be pretty pissed, too.

[Cardinal]

This gets my vote for best new fort.

For full awesomeness http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php/DF2010:Military_F.A.Q.

other wise here is a relevant exerpt:

How do I make my dwarves kill things?
If your soldiers are stationed, defending a barracks, or patrolling a route, they are defending. To make them go on the offense, you need to open the squads screen, select a squad using a/b/c/etc. as listed and hit k to 'Attack.' Then you pick your targets: either hit l to choose from a list of possible targets, r to select all targets within a rectangle, or simply move the cursor to what you want to attack and press enter. Your dwarves should now have the 'Kill _____' duty and charge after your target(s). To select multiple squads at once just hold shift while selecting, or hit p while selecting to select specific dwarves.

You can also use 'move' on the squads menu to move the squad to wherever you want.Just watch out for the next question below... [\qoute]

[Iban]

My militia is pathetic.

3v10.

10 dwarves are now laying unconscious next to a goblin that has passed out for exertion.

[JackAcid]

What, were they set to wrestle? Because I've had trouble getting armed dwarves to fight, and I figured out the new military screens pretty well.

That didn't stop a beastie from running around inside my fort while my worthless militia ran in circles. Benny Hill music was involved.

My god, suddenly I see this image of a forgotten beast being chased by a dwarf military being chased by the british police, with the next scene showing the same in reverse order.
