Wait? was it an elf Civ in a desert? Or a goblin Civ in the desert that had a lot of elven student's attending it's University of Ash Making?

Was looking at what will show up on a test embark, and uh...



They must have heard that dwarven forts love to put elves on wood working and wanted to get ahead of the competition?

I'm surprised, anyway.

There are still elves in the foot steps of Cacame Awemedinade.

Hire her, and make note of her actions. This is an interesting elf.

Dear Mountain Homes-

Please stop sending all these farmers. I know that the marsh lands are filled with many plants to grow, and millers and planters are needed. But we are also sitting on top of massive amounts or coal, iron, and flux. Please instead of sending the multitudes of children, cheesemakers, and gelders, send a weapon smith, or perhaps someone with an once of creativity to possibly do something with all the plant fibers.

Sincerely
Overseer of a dry swamp with a lazy river.

Hmmm, I have an idea. If I could get the save out there, would anyone have interest in trying to siege a fort taken by goblins?

Also, how can you do that. It is new to me.

You can't really do that yet, expect by starting an adventurer and systematically murdering everyone you came across in the fort.

(Could also embark on it with embark anywhere, but the goblins wont be hostile, so it's not really sporting.)

well, here is what happened. Goblins attacked my fort, they got in and killed almost everyone. There are 5 dwarves left that I saved by burrowing them outside of the fort. The goblins are all inside the fort, and I am trying to seal them in. Trying to figure out a way to get in and take out the goblins with the 5 dwarves would be the source of the fun.

Do you want it dead? If you do, use the dwarven solution to such problems.

If you can't pump it there, leave it be and station some advanced traps around it.

Know how I mentioned goblins not showing up at all....

     Wanna know who showed up at around 12:00 AM Christmas Day in a group of 40?

The fun little guys got in through an escape route I was constructing, after I tried to figure out how the military worked during a siege. They massacred around 110 dwarves, plus my 3 humans. I fear my wealth grew faster than my military due to ending world gen very early. While that gave me a lot of High Master book binders and the like, it caused a bit of a shortage on decent fighters.

Currently all the goblins are inside my fortress, I used craft and guile to evacuate 5 dwarves to my protected farming zone. Once they can get food and water, I think I should seal off the whole fort, then come back with greater numbers, and war giraffes.
