6/10 I know that I know you but I can't remember where or why. 
Rather like half the people at the large building I'm in five days out of the week.

"What does the scouter say about Bush's Mahjong Level?"
"IT'S OVER SIX THOUSAAAND!"
"WHAT?! That thing must be broken!"

I kid you not.

The two minutes of that that I watched just about made my day, going to have to watch the rest tomorrow.

Just took a look at the engraver who I decided to make the baroness.
I'm doomed.

A. Vomit f.b.s have gone the other end of a nerf cliff--a single bolt from a marksdwarf or bite from a kitten will break them into pieces (same goes for salt, fire etc--except fire will explode and melt nearby dwarves)

B. Nobles are fun!  Make sure he/she has the best rooms in the fort (tentatively for now, but make a mini-megaproject out of it if you can gem windows, artifact furniture, etc). A good place for a noble is an inactive marksdwarf squad (give him a personal training target).  In a few years he/she will be able to take care of any threats to personal safety in style.

By "best rooms in the fort," I assume you mean something like this:

Historically that's pretty much what my noble rooms have looked like.  (Only with more spikes to make sure that the job gets done.) I think I'm going to go the challenging route this time though.

Good idea, I think that I'll do that, except after I get my actual military up to snuff and get them a steady supply of bolts, they may have actually killed something now, but they still couldn't take on a proper enemy, arena almost finished on a related note.

Thanks for the info on the vomit-beast too, if only the same was true for the bloody pondgrabber...

Your miners are your melee units.

Tried to make a magma moat in 40d.  Made a moat.  Made a wall.  Didn't bother with the magma.
