While battling Necro910 and his relentless pony forces a while back, i had a realization. That, once completed, Aztec Two Step will be the the perfect theme song for Gorerape the Massive Malicious Maze of Death. The sound of immense torment and hate echoing throughout the halls of the DeathMaze, and the towering center keep, as the walls are coated with the blood of my opponents, and dwarves rush about to reset traps and pull levers would seem incredibly fitting.

This got me thinking about what the anthem might be for the fortresses of other overseers. So, imagine, if you will, what piece of music would be the most fitting as the official anthem for your current fortress, past fortress, or your fortresses in general, and why.
I look forward to your replies. They should be most interesting.

What would worry me is that this honestly just seems like a watered down version of similar games meshed into one. Even if the game does get finished, and it's something enjoyable to play, less complexity means less possibilities.

I...I have no idea what I start with...

It's probably because i always embark with a different idea of what I'm going to be trying for that fort, and build my starting seven's skills/supplies around that.

If i recall correctly, I do normally start out with one crafter, who is basically a novice in all types of crafting(including working with glass and clay), 2 miners, at least one of which doubles as a mason or architect, and a chef, who is my brewer/cook. Sometimes i will also bring someone with a weapon and combat skill for my future militia commander as well.

....What makes you think they're related?

Well, when then boy dorf makes baby with the girl dorfs, then the same thing happens with the next generation, that is what's called incest (or as 4chan calls it, wincest).

Sorry to rain on the incest parade, but the arrival of migrants will probably fuck that up.

However, if your very first fort actually survives long enough for the second generation to enter adulthood, i shall be very impressed.

EDIT: Damn, khearn beat me to it.

Start small, no more than squads of three or five, as it will help you get used to managing a military force. Preferably melee, since marksdwarf squads are a little more complicated, in my opinion.

Once you get a hang of the basics, it won't be long before you're drafting dozens of little smileys and marching them all off to their deaths.

Frendly gobbies attack ambushers, gobby snatchers and siegers.

Okay, but how do i know which ones are friendly? I would say they all seem pretty determined to fertilize the local soil with dwarf blood.

They come with caravans and as diplomats and not as a vile farce of dorkness.

Ah, well I don't think I shall be encountering any friendly goblins any time soon, then.
