So many hang on let me count.....55...55 tigermen wanting to Have so much !!FUN!! that my head explodes...suggestions? I have 89 dwarves, no magma (yet), and only 6 soldiers. The only good thing is that they cant get to my dwarfs due to a moat. Tips, suggestions, way to go out like a boss dorf

[IT 000]

Well you could let them go (They drink ale! Why would anything undwarvenly drink ale?) Or you could set up an arena and release one of them at a time for training.

[crekit]

I think he meant outside his fortress, looking at him with blood in their eyes. Wanting to steal all his ale. And socks.

They are safely over the moat, yes?

Train your new marksdwarves that you should recruit right now.

[Samrobot]

Do what I do with my troglodytes. Capture them, train them, have them run for mayor.

[Corneria]

Build a long path of cages for them. Build a bridge over the moat to them. Let them all cage themselves.

[Agent_Irons]

Train your new marksdwarves that you should recruit right now.

Plink plonk. If they're not fully armored over every square inch of their body, shredding the exposed parts with inexperienced but relentless archer fire is the way to go.

[Crustypeanut]

20 relatively unexperienced marksdwarves with wooden bolts on ramparts > 30 elephant-riding iron-wielding Ferric Elves who can't get to them.

[CriticallyAshamed]

At least until they run out of bolts and then decide to stare the elves to death. It's an even 50/50 of who dies of old age first in that one.

[Eric Blank]

Actually it's not, assuming the ferric elves are still an immortal race.

Sounds like he's playing fortress defense mod... Capturing them is possible and probably preferable to permitting your dwarves go topside to clean up any fragment of the mess (there's always another siege...) Taming/Training them isn't, however, because they're civilized.
Dig a tunnel of cage traps connected to your entrance, and force them to loop through that to get to your dwarves. All the while permitting marksdwarves to fire on them from above, if at all possible. Then I'd set their cages up in a huge room downstairs, mark them for dumping (d>b>d) to disarm them, and then let the marksdwarves fire on them from above, again, until they're sufficiently few that the melee dwarves can get some practice.
