Or use a crossbow. Or bring a militia Dwarf and a shortsword with you.

And it gets boring eventually, just dwarfing up and gritting my teeth. Besides, you got to have some fun, right?

And I have only resorted to using Genocide as a last resort. I have always tried military, then traps, then siege weaponry. Only if all else fails do I resort to such underhanded cheating.

Also, I use it for experiments. You call me turning that nice looking gremlin merchant into a lowly miner for me? Cause I don't.

/epic, detailed story (that I would be incapable of writing) about one last, badly wounded dorf in a fort, slowly dragging himself to big red button.

On savage starts the safe way is to deconstruct the wagon and channel out the 5x5 area, make it a meeting zone, then remove the ramps. Everyone is then stuck nice and safe underground and the alligators are stuck nice and safe on the surface. It's kind of wussy, but it's effective. Another way is to embark with a bunch of war dogs, which tend to be cheaper point-wise than starting military (which with their poor skill and equipment will lose limbs anyway - may as well use cheaper expendable dogs). You could also bring a lot of normal dogs and train them up as wardogs, using your outdoor workers as the trainers. Then if a gator tries to eat your woodchopper, it will get dogpiled awesomely.

Crocs right now are essentially the carp of yore. No biggie; just stop being dumb around rivers. If you let dwarfs fish there you will most certainly pay for your folly.

Remember, dwarfs behave badly according to their players.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

I let elves do fishing for me. That way, precious dwarves can be spared to mine and forge.

[ClkWrkJester]

My typical embark involves an armoured hammerdwarf for wildlife, and that usually is enough to make the bastards into purses.

[Wannazzaki]

I bring a hunter or two to embark with me. They will rush off without fail and perforate the local wildlife. Haven't had too many eaten by crocs and other gribblies, a few bolts to the face deals with them. And it gives us meat.

Sigged.

I am flattered. Now, let me show you this lovely =alligator leather handbag=. It was made with the tears of many alligators as starved kobold slaves stabbed them repeatedly in the head, and the blood of the goblins we used to feed them to keep 'em tame while we gathered the manpower required.

I like the sounds of that. Perhaps I could give you this =caged dwarf= in exchange? The beard would make a lovely scarf for your womenfolk.

....
I am no elf. I am not a dwarf either.
YOU THINK I AM AN ELF?
I AM A FILTHY HALF-BREED! KILL EVERYTHING!!!!!

-goes red and cuts down everything within 2 miles with dual axes-

Lolwut guess how you get Dorf-Elf hybrids

Vile dark acts involving two bronze colossi, a Roc, the blood of 80 elven villages, a hair from a dwarfs beard, a adamantine wafer, and a prayer to armok to forgive you for the vile sin your about to commit.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Correct. Now I am about to spend my life atoning for the horrible sin that created me.
