Assign a helmet and make sure the uniform is set to exact match. He should ditch the cap because substitutions aren't allowed with exact matches while letting them keep their own civvies on underneath (His cap would be considered a substitution for a proper helmet with partial match set for the uniform)

Nope, it didn't worked, I even tried with new uniform for that faggot, but still nothing...


Anyway:

Dear imigrant fisherdwarves,
 Seriously? On freezing tundra!?

Huh. That's weird.

On fisherdwarves: I find they make excellent draftees in frozen climates.

Yup, about armor, I must wait for first caravan with leather

About fisherdwarves, maybe they will be usable, if I hit cavern with water, but then I can just assing someone to fish... But now, yea, only military.

Set it to replace clothing. After he ditches the cap he'll put on the helmet, then set it back to over clothing and he'll leave his cap on the floor.

That's works, thanks.

Dear ravens,
 Why you are everywhere and with so big groups!?

Yeah, just figured it out myself.


Dear Overseer,

Why can't you keep a game going for more than a year or two? Are you really that riddled with ADD?

Ushat Delerurrith, YOU IDIOT!

 I wanted these Cave ogres alive! So why you went with your kid to cave? I forbided everything!
 Only one was chasing you, little later dogs saved you from him!.
 But you couldn't just run away to fortress back, even, when I made civilian alarm, because exhausted Ogre, being bitten by dogs was scaring you non-stop and made you outrunning from entrance!
 I was forced to send recruit hammerdwarves to finish him. I wanted this...
 BUT NO! Second Ogre came and managed to kill one of my soldiers... Your HUSBAND...
 And you are still ecstated, because you born a girl, you had a wonderful drink! Made friend! Was satisfied at work!
 I can find other dwarf to tame crundles. YOU, you will be sended  to that cavern with your kid, hammer and shield to die like your husband! Understood?!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
         
     Very angrily,
                 Overseer

Ps. Haha, you died.

My fellow Ursticans.
I understand that zombies and goblins and zombie goblins are scary.  I understand that an Urist's first thought when frightened is to run in fear, this is perfectly natural and would probably be classified as a survival mechanism.  But please for the love of gold run down the stairs into the nice safe bowels of the fort, not out the front freaking door into the arms of the goblin/necromancer/war elephant siege.  You are all lucky that the three armies decided to fight amongst themselves long enough for the entirety of the military to be mobilized and that the third ring of markstowers was finished in time.

To the military squad leaving hauler bait lying about.  Not funny.  Next time one of you decides to drop something to lure out the civies so you can show off your whole squad is going to be tossed in the necromancer pit sans armor.

Dear Urists McChildren,
to clear up any question regarding your status in the fort, I have had all of you nicknamed "Parasite". I hope that this...

'Parasite' McChild is throwing a party at gneiss table.

You're just proving my point!

Dear Urist McMysteriousVampire,

couldn't you bite some fish dissector or soapmaker? Why did it have to be Urist McCrafter who's been making enough masterwork rock mugs in a month to buy out all the caravans for a year? I may have to make you the new craftsdwarf when I find out who you are. How would you like sitting in  a small room with only a supply of stones and a workshop for the rest of your eternal life?

Sincerely
the annoyed overseer.

Dear Urist McVampire,

When you have that many skills at high master you light up like a freaking billboard. Enjoy cavern duty.

To the many other migrants in the wave,

Did you have to bring thrice my percentage child cap in children!? If any of you noobs pop out a baby in less than six months I swear you'll be on cavern duty with the vampire! Actually, Which one of you are the worst for baby-making? I'll send your entire families to settle down there. Don't mind the hostile amphibian men- they just need some love.

To those not sent on cavern duty,
We have a shortage of wood till the caverns are settled, do not expect private rooms any time soon. And take it easy with bringing pets, I want my tree-farms dammit! I will pasture animals til they fight each other! And miners Get your rears in gear! I need my magma forge/kiln/smelter on the triple!

Sincerely, overseer of outpost #3 in the modded section.

Edit: The baby murderer became a friend of the fortress, which started a loyalty cascade, and now most of the squad is dead.

Dear Urist McMiner

I realise that I haven't built you a bed yet. I know it's been a tiring time, digging out the storage area & plantation, and now I'm asking you to dig into an Aquifer for me.

But, for the love of Armok, don't go to sleep in the aquifer draining trench!

It's a dwarf.  Their natural habitat is "trapped on the wrong side of a wall".

Flinging children halfway across the map to land in magma is good, wholesome fun, but extramarital reproduction?  Why, that's just unseemly!

Dear Urist McMigrants

Yes I know the bridge can get crowded, but that does not mean to GO INTO MY WATER MOAT AND SLEEP IN THERE.  YOU EVEN GAVE BIRTH UNDERWATER.

And civilians, a bloody siege is going on outside with your buddies risking your lives and you decide to waste resources by THROWING A PARTY.  next one who throws a party can party with the storming goblins outside.

Sincearly, Overseer baffled on underwater birth.
