My Great Fortress has been reclaimed once cause the first dwarves died cause of the river freezing and no drink. Reclaimed and all.
Now I finished a huge water network for the fortress, giant project. And a goblin ambush took me totally off guard, I had no time to do anything, by the time I got my military scrambled up and on duty to confront them, they killed 3 dwarves and were past the gates. Half of my squad gets to the courtyard where they are quickly killed. Now the gobbos are at the doors, all the dogs in my fortress and the rest of the squad are there keeping them away, they managed to kill 3 gobbos. After some slaughter in the workshop hallways they get to the meeting place, 10 dwarves slaughtered and then they for some reason went away.
But now everybody was real sad cause the month before there were alot of marriages and births, this fort also had alot of legendary dwarves. Now they just sit there, tantrum and 2 of them berserk.
From 72 dwarves to 3. The 3 dwarves survived cause after getting wounded they went to they're epic bedrooms and are uncouncious. The third just went and slept at the hospital bed.
A few days are gone and now...migrants! All they find is a fortress with hallways littered with bodies and blood, and stockpiles, rooms filled with riches. All the animals in the fort were also killed, what a tragedy.
There were exactly 7 migrants.
