Let's ignore this post

DF in a nutshell :

"And so, she built a bridge so that she could dig, so that she'd have coal, so that she could make an axe, so that she'd have wood, so that she could make barrels, so that she could drink..."

Well, learnt the basics, the game just gets more fun the more you learn it. My first tantrum spiral was really fun, some forgotten beast came and fucked all my 3 squads up with it's web, damn markdorfs just charged it. Then, a female clothier went berserk, punched her husbands brain in with her first blow killing him on the spot, then she went on to strangle her kid to death with a chokehold, a war dog charged in afterwards, but she splattered the poor dogs brain all over the place. She then wen't out in the hallway, killing a pet bird, a puppy and another dorf child with her bare fists. (un)luckily a miner came by and dug a pick trough her skull.

You marksdwarves charged it because they either: didnt have ammo to put in their quiver, didnt have a quiver, equipment wasnt put on replace clothing.

The military screen is a total bitch, it takes some time to learn. What i suggest is going on the uniforms tab (n), go to archer uniform, add cloaks and press r (replace clothing). After you have done that station your marksdwarves so you can see if they are wearing the correct set of clothing and if they all have crossbows and bolts in their quivers. If everything checks out, you are good to go.

Also, when building fortifications bear in mind that the marksdwarves use the Archery skill and NOT the marksdwarf skill to shoot trought them, you need acomplished or higher to shoot trough fortifications. You should train them in an archery range, the wiki is good on archery ranges, you should have no problem learning to build one.

All them dorfs had quivers and bolts, but well, new fortress on the go. Losing is really fun aslong as you can see civilian dorfs go on a killing rampage

My New Fortress Bronzeluck is going alot better, got a really sweet defensive system up, with utilizeses several drawbridges, empty moats filled with traps and a zone to trap attackers, where my markdorfs can shoot them from fortifications. Just slaughtered 16 gobs and a giant Olm with only 1 loss. A memorial will be put up in my grand dining hall, never forget, never forgive! Now I'm waiting for next years elvish caravan, nothing better then to just kill those pesky hippies and take all their stuff.

My new big project is a tower that will be accessed only from inside, with fortifications so I can shoot all those pesky invaders from another position.

A flying forgotten beast entered some cavern that doesn't have access to my fortress, now it's deceased

Expand the outside perimiter
Expand the metal industry (didnt show it, not much to look at atm)
Construct a Noble quarter
Construct a Jail/torture chambers
Construct military quarters aboveground

Facing off siege after siege of Goblin invaders. Had one really tough one with 2 filled pages of goblins/beasts and a named demon as their leader, some sickass fox turned into human shape with regeneration and fucked up combat prowess. Got killed eventuelly and now the gobs don't have any leader. All the other invaders got killed by traps and raising/lowering bridges into my pit of traps. Alot of human and dwarfen caravans have died during the sieges, leaving behind big amounts of loot for me.

Atleast I get the joy of watching a berserk dwarfen child rape the rest of the survivors who entered a melancholic state
