so, how are people's pony forts going?
I illustrated my failed Applejack mood. The comic is huge so here's just a link to it:

Otherwise, I'm having a harder time of the military than I expected. Although all of my ponies are well armed and armored (as well as copper can get you anyway), the last two sieges have been pretty damaging to my military. I think I've had maybe 7 ponies with multiple broken legs, and about 7 fatalities from kicked in skulls, infection or bleeding to death in the hospital. I looked at the armor chart earlier in the thread, and I think I have their legs covered but I dunno. I couldn't get them to wear leggings correctly, maybe a conflict with another piece of armor. Do copper high boots help prevent broken legs, or do they just protect hooves?
I dug down to the caverns and had some interesting fun with cave swallow ponies when all my haulers decided they wanted to steal the locals' spears and blowguns... no fatalities amazingly but Fluttershy got bitten in the eye and kicked in the guts. She hasn't wandered near the caverns since. Good girl. A snow monster forgotten beast got pummeled dead in one hit by a hammerpony.
Things are going too well otherwise... over 3000 stockpiled food supplies, and no diomedian sieges in quite some time. The next one is going to be a doozy, I can feel it.
