Does anyone else consider buckler-churning an exploit?
INstead of some gallery of screenshots, I decided that this battle would require a movie.

Well since the movie goes so damn fast, I'll give you a list of what happens:
1. Carver, my wrestler/operator/Greatest warrior and his squad are sent on a suicide mission, I only really expected him to survive, but, alas, hi9s entire squad are lazy bastards that can't show up to a fight.
2. After seeing that Carver is royally fucked, I equip my two legendary miners and send them out, they kill a group, get mobbed, die.
3. Goblins flood into the fortress, my elite marksdwarf, legendary metalsmith and furnace operator are able to beat back a horde of them while some VERY, VERY, VERY lucky war dog trainer/lover goes to the front gate and starts having his dog rip goblins up.
4. I cheeck all the dead, the rest of those 7,000 frames are me chasing them off and writing "woo!" into a wall.

THEN BRING IT
Damn, what a waste of a legendary engraver/mason/wrestler.
Also, what is it's effectiveness, if it has any at all.
If not, then just destroy the [GENPOWER] tags in the next version.
So could any of you people provide me with reasonable builds and how to get good starting equipment? ( No, not the Dwarfipedia guides)
So year, mark it down and the like, and help me to find a possible solution.
RED: STUPID BASTARD THAT ABSOLUTELY REFUSES TO SHOOT HIS HAND-MADE BALLISTA AT A CLUMP OF ENEMIES
YELLOW: SAID HAND MADE BALLISTA
PURPLE: 100% SAFE FORTIFICATIONS
LIGHT BLUE: GROUP OF GOBLINS THAT HAVE ALREADY MOVED OUT OF RANGE BECAUSE OF DUMBASS ABOVE.
Oh, and as an added bonus, my best markdwarf, the green circle, has decided to stand in one spot swinging his hammerbow instead of refilling his ammo because he seems to think he can hit them from afar with his fist.
But Now all of ym dwarves are starving to death, except my legendaries and nobles.
There's plenty of food, and they all have enough money to eat, but all my dwarves do is work until they starve to death, usually while sleeping.
Also, they are still drinking, just not eating.
Tell me what to do, please, he's a great solider that I dont want to lose due to some stupid ass bug.
I just tried to save before confronting a dragon, but the game quit on me. And now whenever I try to start up any mode of play, I get this message and DF quits on me.
I am playing in a totally unmodded DF. Can anyone help?
