Thanks for the cistern tips, I'll try those out!
The accursed humies have 7 swordsmen and 8 wrestlers. Can my 5 archers (levels 6,8,8,9,10, minimal/no armor/shield skill, no armor/shield) and High Master Axeman (no armor/shield or skill) take them out? Should I have some expendable wrestlers trained? I have a 3-wide path with a floor on top where I can send archers to pick them off, and a bridge that blocks off the end... but it's not very long.
EDIT: I'm exploratory-mining the bottom level with a grid of digs. This somehow makes my miners act like Neanderthal idiots barely able to walk without straining their minds. What they do is they complete one piece of the grid except one tile, move to the entire opposite end, and mine the last tile when they could have just mined it without moving. Being legendary, this slows them down a massive amount relative to the time it takes to actually mine. Is there some way to fix this without labor-intensive designation?
EDIT2: I have some stone marked for dumping and a garbage zone nearby, but my haulers just sit around doing nothing. This always worked before, so why not now?
