without doubt my worst experience with forgotten beast was the Great Beast Wars at Flagbore.i had walled in the caverns and when i decided to reopen them,there were like 6 of them in one place.one was made of nickel silver,another one of mud,a third had a blister causing gas,and the other 3 were typical fleshy ones.i charged with my steel clad legendary militia,and lost 2 legendaries the moment the beasts came.eventually,i fought them off,but from then on i had two beasts every year,which caused a very high kill count.eventually,a beast which shot web came,and soloed my entire army(at this point some soldiers had adamantine equipment).then,as soon as i had finally killed it,another one web spitting beast came and started rampaging through my fortress,with my only defense being conscripted peasants equipped mostly with copper armor and iron weapons(my good stuff were still webbed by the previous battle).it took many more dwarves to finally bring it down.my fortress fell through a combination of that,me being bored to rebuild and the resulting tantrum spiral.
kill count:
14 beasts
casualties:
over 50 dwarves
