Well, I made it to Spring Day 1. The siege is still underway and we definitely don't have enough dwarves to open the gate and go kill them. Good news is they're not packing any ranged weapons, so we can wait until the 30-odd injured fellows are recovered. I'm writing up a recap but the upload image button isn't working for some reason so I may keep it to text-only for now.

When it didn't work for me I was like "fuck this", went to tinypic.com and did it manually for each pic. You can also set the resizing there.

Year 3 Is Complete!


Alright, I'm gonna keep things nice and simple. Basically, I came in and we had like 3 military dwarves sitting around scratching their asses half the year. Now we have 30 full-time marksdwarves with rotating shifts of patrol, training, and even a month or two off every year to go look at statues or whatever. Was I crazy to devote over a third of our adult population to full-time military training? Was I crazy to devote all industrial output to producing crossbow bolts until we had over 5 thousand? Was I crazy to buy a bear and chain it to the front gate?



We needed all of that. We held the first siege, and caught a dragon, and I still think I didn't do enough. In terms of security, we're pretty solid. I didn't manage to get any Siege Weapons up, but we should be able to hold off anything that can't break down doors with this many marksdwarves. Here's a general overview of the fort as it stands:

The goblin Siege is Over.

Aixler is one of our finest military dwarves. A competent Hammerdwarf and Adequate Fighter with some skill as an Axedwarf, swordsdwarf, speardwarf, shield user, armor user, wrestler, striker, kicker, and dodger, he could have chosen to lead his own squad-- but instead he remained a part-timer as a citizen-soldier.

When the goblins came, he was ready.

The Circle Breaker got the drop on a Goblin Bowman, and opened fire with his wooden crossbow. He fired a bolt, and the Goblin returned fire. He fired again, and the goblin returned fire. He unleashes a flurry of 3 bolts, and the goblin shot back, piercing him through the abdominal muscles with a mundane copper arrow.

Aixler vomited, retched, and fired off one more bolt (which missed) before the goblin fired a second arrow, which tore a ligament and severed a tendon in his right lower leg. He fell prone and passed out. The other, slower dwarves of his squad soon caught up and finished off the foul beast.

He lives on, for now.

Aixler is stunned, nauseated, and in pain. He cannot stand and requires a crutch. He is currently on a bed in the hospital. Our medical dwarves are working around the clock to help him.




Marksdwarf Nomal Orrunoddom died in the line of service. Let the records show that he gave his life in defense of the fortress.

Marksdwarf Sodul Alkrultaron died in the line of service. Let the records show that she gave her life in defense of the fortress.

Carpenter Kadol Regmatul was caught outside during the siege. He died doing his duty as a carpenter.




I'm getting close to the end, ladies and gentlemen. Any requests for what goes in the wrap-up post?

EDIT: OHGODOHGODOHGOD

OH GOD

OH GOD

OH GOD

[image loading]

We literally JUST held off the goblins. We have about 20 of our 30 military dwarves in some form of recovery or another. Our traps are sprung, we're low on ammunition, and all our dwarfpower is tied up tending to the wounded.


"Kima Lutocobim Tullelgo, Dragon: Kima TaxedJewel the Warm Luxuries
A gigantic repitilian creature. It is magical and can breath fire. These monsters can live for thousands of years.

He is very muscular and just gigantic overall. His scales are green. His eyes are black."


Guys.

Guys what do I do


I know what must be done.




We did that which was necessary.

We will never worry again about fortress defense, ladies and gentlemen. That is my parting gift.

[image loading]






So we've got like 30 wounded, dehydrating dwarves and the water supply is either frozen, or, strangely enough, vaporized. I'm not sure how many will be alive come spring.

I've ordered 30 coffins to be made.

This will all be over soon.




EDIT: oh, thank god, I remembered about the underground lake. Designated it for a water source. We might just have ZERO casualties from the dragon!

Aixler, however, passed on. It is a sad day indeed.





EDIT: I don't... I don't even know what to say any more.

[image loading]

There's nothing more I can give. Our weapons are broken, our numbers thinned, our spirits dulled. As we draw water to try to comfort the wounded and dying, yet another legend comes to destroy us. Forgotten Beasts are Building Destroyers, immune to traps, and can't be stopped by bridgeapult shenanigans.

And none of that even matters because it's already inside the fort.

The militia will make a final stand at the stairwell. We'll pull the dragon indoors and block him in, and if things turn south, release him. Maybe he and the Forgotten beast will cancel each other out somehow.

Armok save us.







Well, the forgotten beast is just staying down there. false alarm.




EDIT:

My pain knows no bounds.


The first many months passed uneventfully. I added more housing, made statue gardens, and fixed the truly un-dwarven system of "put the seeds and food storage as far away from the farms as possible" system. I drafted Rangers to become squad captains and train the worthless dwarves into worthy tasks.

In terms of manpower, about 1/3 of our dwarves are farmers, 1/3 are military dwarves, and most the remaining 1/3rd of the dwarves are masons and woodcrafters, making bolts, furniture, and exports. I didn't focus at all on mining or developing the economy of the fortress since it was so unprotected.




A message to my successor: Pull all the dwarves indoors and close the gates. With so many injured dwarves from the previous battles, we won't be able to fight these goblins directly. Shooting them through the walls is probably smarter. Focus on containing the infection outbreak first and getting our dudes back on their feet.

Some players may criticize my style, but I did what was necessary to keep the fortress alive, and I cleaned out every merchant who came by (though the dwarven merchants kept several larch bins of cloth as well as some useless toys).

A final word of advice: Train the Dragon. It's tempting not to, but it's Fun. I got him to "semi-tame" or whatever before the most recent siege broke out. It would be so worth it to domesticate him.

A video of the dragon fight will be uploaded when I get the chance.

Some highlights of Kima's life:

Came to the World in year 1. One of the only Dragons to ever exist, his affinities are wealth and fire. For about 30 years, he hung out in the hills, attacking nearby elves and humans. Every now and then, an adventurer would confront or ambush him-- he would always kill those who attacked him first, and let go free those who he attacked first. He'd occasionally steal from nearby civilizations, taking gems and eating yaks.

In 37, Kima moved out to the Noiseless plain, where the Dwarf adventurer Lorbam DikeEchoes ambushed him and was struck down. Throughout the 40s 50s, and 60s, more and more adventurers sought Kima out in order to strike him down-- humans, elves, and dwarves, and they were all struck down.

In the midsummer of 68, a dwarf by the name of Sigun Ragabbeys ambushed Kima and escaped with only a mangled leg-- In his pursuit, Kima came across a battalion of Goblins. They all died. In the 70s, he ate a town of Kobolds in Jaypit, "the Oceanic name" just to steal a gem from them.

In the early 90s, Kima moved into the Forests of Handling, where his flame breath attracted constant elf adventurer attention due to horrible tree deaths. He remained there until the 120s when he happened to fly by Martyrtomb. His lair is Flickeredgilt, and aside from nameless creatures, he's killed one hundred and two creatures, approximately 1 for each year he's been alive.

He's never met another Dragon, or another legendary creature of any sort. He's never had friendly contact with an intelligent creature.

The only world he knows is one of mortal strife with elves, humans, dwarves, kobolds, and goblins.

Here's his battle with Martyrtomb, in which he is captured by the canny dwarf leaders and the sacrifice of many cattle and marksdwarves:



The action starts at about the 11 minute mark. Beforehand is just me setting up.

Man, I gotta say, I'm kinda amazed I didn't wipe right there. I had masons ready to do a total wall-in of the lower levels and wait the dragon out. Dragons are scary.

I would have fucked up that spot for sure, well done.

Soon to come: "How to beat dragons within just 3 years", a guide by Blazinghand. ♥

...actually more like one year, considering how much we let our military slide before that. Are you doing the "stop patrol during siege" via burrows? How does the actual training work without danger rooms? Like, what's important when setting it up?

That's why I'm asking how it's done properly without them. I have a tendency of falling back on them whenever I get lazy during my own endeavours. =S

Well I've been doing it this way, not quite allowed by our rules:
- Room with beds (or anything that can be designated as barracks)
- Assign squad to train
- Turn all labours of squad members off
- Set squad to inactive

Might have similar effects if the schedule is all Train, and the squad is set to Active/Train, haven't done it that way though.

Sick to catch a dragon, gotta watch that vid when I get home!


Btw, this thread inspired me to finally pick up DF.
So hard in the beginning, had a decent fortress going, then I got invaded by immigrants and found no iron, lol.
