so my very first siege is at my doorstep and now I'm struck with uncertainty. Combat is an area that apart from the brutal beatdown of a few panda men and the demise of my first fortress at the hands of goblins I do not really have any experience in so the first question I have is as follows; will my squad of dwarves in complete steel armour brandishing silver warhammers be able to beat the snot out of the goblins without taking too many casualties after undergoing rigorous danger room (sue me) regimes?
and while on the subject of casualties, there was of course civilian casualties (only 3! 2 dead and one
horribly wounded and has been so for several ingame months) so my question is; how do I get Urist McMedicine to diagnose her? I have a chief medical dwarf selected and two other medical dwarves that are very skilled in medicine and have the diagnosing labour enabled but they all spend their days navel gazing in the meeting hall rather than saving this poor hero. I can understand them not fixing the bones due to my distinct lack of gypsum but my high master wound dresser and suturer should at least do something about the profuse bleeding but isn't.
