Use station instead of attack to get marks dwarves to shoot instead of charging.

You're married, had a child who was abducted by a snatcher some time ago sadly. Your right upper arm's nerve damage renders your right arm almost completely useless. You're a talented butcher and a legendary grower.

Conan, problem was you ran out of ammo and I had no fortifications to stop you from suicide charging.

Yay, I'm not a parent anymore! Now someone hand me my LSD.

EDIT: Are you still putting me in the military, katana? Cause if you are...

Galena, 4

Jaxy says he wants to be a siege operator and engineer. Well, what's the harm in placing a bunch of dwarves behind 8 layers of fortification using a machine that hurls large boulders? We could use some extra defenses.
Oh look, fish dissector in a mood. He took a mason's workshop and used a single gold nugget. Very quickly, we get "The gates of extricating", a native gold throne! It's a native gold throne encircled with bands of native gold. Nice, simple and worth 72000. As the human caravan arrives, I prepare for the typical ambush parties. Meanwhile, I'm requesting trap components, bars, and weapons that we can't make, like morningstars. A nice atyl long sword was found, along with a pretty awesome whip. And of course, the trade request manager is killed by an ambush. And I found a triggerhapp. What are those things again? They look just like humans. My first reaction is to yell "YOUR TREE FARM DESIGN WAS INEFFICIENT".

Limestone, 4
Wow, those numerous spike traps are very expensive. I'm trying to get enough stuff to buy the rest while they're still here. In other news, catapult training areas are being set up. In the end, we didn't have enough money for all the numerous spikes. We need more cooks.
yes, they are that expensive.
Kadol, fisherdwarf, then gives birth to a girl. And then kadol the rabbit grows up. And then, migrants.
1: Ingish, stoneworker (female)
2: Urdim, grant master brewer (male)
3: Zasit, miner (female)
4: Meng, hunter (female)
5: Monom, farmer (female)
6: Sarvesh, fish cleaner (female) <-- into the new military squad with you
7: Sigun, bone doctor (male) <-- Already getting used to tradgedy

And, here comes the ambushes. Surprisingly, we lived. I think I'm going to make it a rule that just me and urvad go out side to fight until the rest of the military is at least adequate.

Sandstone, 4

Now I'm just trying to melt down all the corpses' metal stuff. Cheveux has been producing some masterpieces lately, he's getting better.

Timber, 4
Uh yeah, so here comes the dwarven caravan. And what's most likely going to be around 4 ambush parties. I'm requesting steel, iron, and all those weapons-grade metals along with anvils and lye for soap. We have too many useless metals. We need MORE STEEL, MORE WEAPONS, MORE TRAPS, MORE DEATH! It's sad to say that the humans are more valuable to me when it comes to trading. They have atyl, and they have numerous spike traps...
I've just noticed how valuable tank spider silk cloth crafts are, I had forgotten we have a legendary clothier in the fortress. I'm going to set up a  mechanism that tricks tank spiders into shooting webs at a restrained enemy, and we can collect those webs :). I was guarding the entrance when I noticed a snatcher. The ambushers are close now...

And as expected, the ambush. They tried to kill me, funnily. Then they started falling over and vomiting, before I even got there. Oh right, I put a marksman tower RIGHT NEXT to where they tried to ambush us! I've now killed 69 goblins. Urvad has killed 36. Hal of our recruits haven't even seen a goblin up close. More ambushes! This time on the undefended side. RUN BIM RUN! (Bim the mechanic/broker was setting up cage traps and was the one who got ambushed this time). Luckily, Bim was not injured. The outpost liasion wants to elevate our fortress! Woo! Dsarker obviously recommended herself, I don't see anything wrong with that choice.
She likes shields and short swords. I'm making them anyway.
Meanwhile, Jaxy has become adequate at siege operating, and refuses to stop working until he is a legend.

Moonstone, 4

Our bone doctor just started acting all weird and secretive. We're lucky there are no patients in the hospital. Dsarker is now a baron, probably pretty happy she doesn't have to treat patients anymore. Bim the broker is now the chief medical dwarf, while our (currently secretive) bone doctor is going to do the actual treating. And Conan gives birth to a boy, how nice. "G" now has another child I guess. Tosid also gave birth again, Cheveux has another child! Now they have 3 children.

A dwarf cap wood amulet! Well I don't care about your new talents, you're still our main doctor.

Opal, 4

I'm annoyed at being known as "baron consort" now. I'M A LEGENDARY MILITARY CAPTAIN THAT'S KILLED MORE THAN EVERYONE ELSE IN THE MILITARY COMBINED. I'M A PROFESSIONAL BONE CARVER, AND PROFICIENT HERBALIST. I WAS ONE OF THE FIRST DWARVES TO FOUND THE FORT. And now I'm just a "baron consort".
Changing profession to... Military captain?

The barracks are crowded now, I'm going to have them expanded.

Obsidian, 4

Urist McArmorer just gave birth to a boy. No seriously, our armorer named urist gave birth to a boy. Then urdim the marksdarf gives birth to a girl. There are 13 children in our fortress, out of the 68 dwarves.


A diplomat has arrived!

Anything that will likely handle atyl in a non-hauling role is fine.

Also, can you rename one of my child Meche? My daughter preferably.

I cannot, and WILL NOT trust that... "diplomat".  It looks like a foul blendec, which are known to be cruel, evil creatures. All the plants around it seem to be shrinking away from the thing. May sound a bit like an elf, but if the plants literally shrink away from you, something isn't right. Especially something that huge. I've got to kill it.

Slade, the infamous stone of hell. We dwarves cannot even dent it, yet this thing had this:

A slade anvil. It also tried to hurl a glob of slade at me. We've all heard stories of the demons that live in this slade. How if you dug too deep, they'd come and get you. Stories about great fortresses that had crumbled because of them. Even some old legends about demons that had escaped from hell and come to rule humans.
But since when could they start their own civilizations? Escaping in such huge numbers that they can create settlements? And since when were they smiths? There was nothing human about this thing, the human traders that've been coming have mentioned nothing about a giant blendec capable of controlling slade...
I'm hauling that anvil inside, maybe a metalsmith can explain it or something. Obok the planter just gave birth to a girl. As always, this means either something great or terrible is about to happen. Judging by the "diplomat" that just visited us, I'm guessing it's going to be terrible. On a somewhat less paranoid note, I'm going to work out a uniform for all soldiers, that's better than our current "grab a chain robe, a helmet, some boots, gauntlets and a shield, and we'll assign you some weapons later" policy.
