No problem, we will survive - if nobody wants another shot at it in the next week or so I'll take a second turn

[ashton1993]

Yar, I'd also like a second turn, but in 3-5 years time

[Farmerbob]

Anyone out there want in?  Could use some overseers.

[Dyg]

I'd take a turn from the save before Ashtons. Whatever he did removed the HFS.

What do you mean?

I keep my hands off the saves because if I don't, I end up trying to tell people what to do

When you edited to resolve the 200+ goblin siege, how did you do it?  What tools and processes?

[ashton1993]

Runesmith, then the creatures tab creatures, and clicked the extinction button which makes every creature of a specific type be deleted from DF's memory once on goblins and once on trolls, then saved changes.

[andyman564]

well, if that's it then HFS should be intact. unless the memory hack glitched and killed all the clowns too.

[Dyg]

Could just be a glitch on my side, they all show up as dead in the unit screen. Also his save seems to be stuck in siege state, but that could be a bug also. If someone else could check it I'd appreciate it.

[Farmerbob]

Since we have a corrupted world, I think it's appropriate to do a rollback.  Dyg if you want to do a turn, feel free.  I suspect you might have already done so.

If you want another turn Asheton, speak up!  Gonna let Dyg have a shot since you already had some fun.

[ashton1993]

Aww... all the cool stuff I did in the caverns was for nothing  sure I'll have another go after dyg

[Dyg]

I couldn't feel but let down. I had come to foldedlens with no expectations, yet putting your most talented medical dwarf as a hauler? This was a grave insult in all ways dwarven. Luckily it seems fate had greater plans in store, for I was somehow placed in governance of this outpost. Then again, fate does like screwing with people.

My first act as overseer was to elect myself as the chief medical dwarf. I'm sure Urist McnameIforgot was doing a splendid job, but I was more qualified.

While heading to my new office I noticed the massive amount of stone chips spread everywhere, does no one know of a janitor here? I'm not sure if I'm walking down the hallway or trying to mine my way through.

As soon as I settle in some dwarf claiming to be the "manager" burst in with a list of everything he needed crafted. Some of the stuff was practical, while bits were downright silly. Who needs sixty waterskins? Do we even have that large of a military?

While I'm heading to examine the military, some dwarf comes screaming to me while complaining about a bee sting. Being the kind soul that I am, I escort him to the hospital and chop his finger off.

Being inquisitive, I head to see where the bee came from. It turns out the previous overseer had an extreme love for bees.

2nd Granite
Couldn't sleep, scraping sound from below all through the night. I head down to see what the disturbance is, only to find a constant stream of dwarves dragging more stones to who knows where. Ordered a stop to it. Went back to sleep.

23rd Granite
One of our masons has suddenly become extremely quiet and began gathering unorthodox materials, I keep a close eye on him.

25th Granite
He has stopped raiding our storerooms and began working on something, I have no idea what it is supposed to be.

1st Slate
Oh, it was just a gem encrusted millstone. If I could find the captain of the guard, I would order him punished for wasting materials.

7th Slate
I swear I saw two puppies sparring this morning, maybe I truly am mad? To take my mind off it, I go to "Diagnose" another patient

26th Slate
I found about thirty dwarves standing around doing nothing. It seems a previous overseer had told them not to haul anything. This includes such useless dwarves as a novice dyer. I briefly consider the strategy of having useless dwarves do nothing while your best and most qualifed dwarves, such as myself, do menial tasks.

17th Felsite
A scream came from outside. It seems an animal trainer was ambushed by goblin crossbowmen and shot directly in the heart. I order our military into action and send a few war dogs with one of their members.

19th Felsite
It seems the elves have chosen this time to arrive, they shall die along with the goblins.

20th Felsite
Cancel that, the elves just walked into another goblin ambush. Lets see how many the goblins can kill.

23rd Felsite
Some of these crazy elves made it to the trade depot, at least they can take useless trinkets in trade

26th Felsite
I am informed that the goblins have fled the area. Our casualty list is a speardwarf, axedwarf, the ambushed animal trainer, and about ten wardogs. The recruit I gave the dogs to seems a bit angry about that last part.

27th Felsite
In celebration of the goblins being gone a child throws a party. I would attend, but I have patients to "diagnose".

29th Felsite
The previously mentioned recruit is throwing a rather funny tantrum. He decided the best things to hit were his own pets, so he is promptly killing his own dogs, which makes him worse. (He's managed to kill more dogs than the goblins did)

26th Malachite
A jeweler just passed me in the hallway chanting something while claiming to be possesed. I can't decide whether myself seeing nothing wrong with this, or that I want to "diagnose" him as being the worse of the two.

1st Galena
In a brief moment of clarity, I discovered what to do with all of this useless rock. BEGIN OPERATION: THROW STUFF IN THE VOLCANO!

8th Galena
Jewler comes out holding a figurine of elves and humans killing each other. At least he knows what I like

19th Galena
Human traders. I hope they brought something alcoholic.

22nd Limestone
The recruits one person tantrum spiral is still going on. Normally I would have no objection to being given free subjects to work with, but Where the hell is the captain of the guard? What do you mean we don't have one? Well find someone with a large hammer and tell them to go hit him. Oh, he's dead now.

24th Limestone
I noticed one of our metalcrafters working in the kitchen. Who set up this place?

9th Sandstone
One of our hunters was complaining about how cold his room was. His solution was to sleep on the edge of the volcano.

16th Timber
A dwarven caravan arrives. I choose to offload as much useless stuff as possible onto them.

26th Timber
It seems we have been made a barony. I dutily appoint myself.

20th Moonstone
While in one of my moods I mandate the ban of any coffin exports. As soon as the mandate is announced I hear two children scream in excitement and organize parties.
For the first time in my life, I am afraid.

18th Obsidian
It turns out I was right in my ban of any coffin exports. Whether this was divine intervention or just sheer irony I may never know. What I can understand however is that we have an army of goblins, trolls, and bats heading towards us. Bring it on

(I forgot to take screenshots of the battle because I was too busy trying to get civilians to stop running after some new shiny thing, so instead you get what I remember in text form.)
Observations of a random marksdwarf:
So there we were, standing on that bridge watching these gobs heading straight towards us. All I'm thinking is "Why the bloody hell am I out here?" I knew we had that lever that raised this bridge and cut off the rest of the world, yet it seemed our "Baron" didn't want the gobs to think we were weak. So there stood the lot of us, eight people with crossbows and maybe five bolts between us along with ten dwarves who just acted like they knew how to use those swords they were holding. All of a sudden I hear these loud barking noises behind me, so I turn around just in time to see Conan running straight across the bridge at us like a madman being chased by thirty dogs. I jump out of his way and watch him run down the other side and head straight for the gobs.
We hadn't recieved an order to attack yet, but we just assumed a half naked crazy dwarf with an axe charging the enemy was the "go" signal. I fired off my bolts in the general direction of the gobs, they were so close together I'm sure I hit something. Now being the completely logical dwarf I am I decided to forgo picking up extra bolts and instead use my crossbow as an improvised hammer. It seems the idea also spread to a few of my buddies so I didn't even rethink my actions.
I arrived at the battlefield just in time to see Conan get cut in half after being surrounded. That just pissed me off you see. So I walk over to the gob that did it and clubbed him over the head with my crossbow. After that I was hit in the stomach and knocked unconscious. When I woke up in the hospital I found out we won the battle somehow. We won!

26th Obsidian
The goblins are gone. It's goblin Christmas.

The front lawn and stockpiles as of my final day.

Save:
http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=4857

Random Notes:
Military needs to be reorganized, I just tossed everything into three squads to save time during the great goblin "invasion"
Conan is dead, long live Conan Mark 2 (Not dwarfed yet)
I cancelled everything except the smelters which are finishing off some iron ore, stills might need to be started up again once the lawn is clean (Honestly we have enough for two years) This includes farms and such.
Plenty of flux/stone sitting around downstairs for whatever you want to build out of it, just unforbid it.
Dump items is currently being used to "stockpile" stuff into the volcano
We need more beds and an actual dining room

[Farmerbob]

Asheton, you're up again.

[ashton1993]

Yup got the save, I'll start on it soonish
