A character of mine was killed by one, he pierced its heart with his first blow, it rips him apart, eats a drunk, before everyone else arrives. two axemen, a lasher, a pikeman, they swarm it, it proceeds to nearly kill the lasher, ripping and tearing chunks out of her, before my awesome axeman who killed a giant and a minotaur on his own, manages to pierce its heart again, killing it.

Those kobolds are extraordinarily well armed. I wnet in with a group of 9 well trained warriors. We brought down wave after wave of kobolds, I counted. We took out 20 bowmen, 3 master bowmen, 2 master thieves, 10 swordsmen and 7 spearmen. plus the hordes of unskilled kobold peasants. THAT IS MORE THAN MANY HUMAN TOWNS, and still they came on. how fast do kobolds respawn? seriously, we wreaked terrible slaughter, and I think only dented them.

This is a new adventurer I made, and already he is legendary in my opinion. He is a master with the hammer, and in his first quest, he went into a cave to kill an ettin. His first foe was  a gremlin, yet no ordinary gremlin, every attack, the gremlin would block with an exterimity breaking that toe or finger, but perserving its body. finally after the 50th damaging swing it was propelled away to die on a rock. then he found the ettin, an Epic battle ensued, or would have if he hadn't pulped the ettins heads in the first swing. so cheerfully on his way out, an iron man comes up and smashes into him. It looked bad, till I read, and bounces off. Thats right, my guy took an iron man to the chest and threw it off. He swung once, and ripped the iron man in two with his hammer, throwing it away like trash he took the animating idol. only to be ambushed by two antmen, and a batman, non of which could knock him down, even after repeated charges into him, he killed them all without a single wound.

So ended his first quest. The second is now.
Sent into a ruin to kill a skeltal expert marksman, Rak charged in, blowing away the undead hordes. alone he came to the marksman, to take an arrow to the head. He was pierced.  but only an eye was put out. He became enraged and proceeded to pulp the marksman, and leave to buy an eyepatch with the money from the statue of iron.

anyone ever wiped out an entire town of foolish humaniods?

I found silver... one space into my fortress, well thats the distance it was from the outside wall of normal visibility. also, its part of a massive system of mixed veins of many ores... but I only have 2 dwarves left, the rest were mauled by ravenous elks.

A question on tantrums and insanity.

Everyone was wiped out by zombie elephants as I planned. I had only a pick, no food. The one who wasn't a sacrifice, had extremely immense amounts of skills. since hunting was out he fished... for 2 years. He did not go insane... so this posed to me a question... what is to corralation to insanity and skills.

See, any dwarf with a good amount of skills, will never throw a tantrum. no matter the conditions. As long as he/she has food. No tantrums, ever. So LORD OF ALL THINGS TOADLIKE! DOES AMOUNT OF SKILLS ASSIST IN KEEPING YOUR DWARF HAPPY?

Help, I have muddy ground, and seeds, and a farmer, but I can't get the farm signal to go green. is there something I am doink wrong?

I got some Bad news. Horses are immune to fire. I lit a town on fire, got killed by a hammerman, anyway horses just wandered through the flames for 2 days, nothing happening to them.
