I once was saved from a 80+ gobbo siege by a dwarven caravan. One of the guards went on a serious killing spree, taking down about 20 goblins before she was shot by a troop of archers. The rest of the caravan fought less succesfully, but after they were dead the siegers decided to retreat.

About the watchtower, you can also make their barracks there. They'll hang around when they've nothing else to do and start shooting if they see something.

My game crashes every time I try to enter a town called Raycottons. I can travel to the outskirts, but after a few steps Windows notifys me that Dwarf Fortress stopped working. Same happens if I attempt to fast travel to ANY part of the town. I have a big quest there I'd suppose, so should I keep on trying or travel to another human civ? Also, if I don't complete that quest, will I be branded a coward? 'Cos the lord said so.

I hereby humbly request Dorfing!

I like carving into a mountain, because it just somehow feels more dwarven-like. Much easier to keep track of things as well.

Nope, he's a dwarf. Checked the legends.

My civ is very much alive, caravans, liaisons, vampires, historical figures and the civilization screen shows that my civ has a king. There's also a bunch of artisrty about him, and one migrant was his cousin or something. Maybe he arrives after the next caravan, since I still have that trade agreement with the former mountainhome, which usually disappears once the monarch arrives, right?

The dry level was probably the first layer, this underground paradise must be the second. Regarding underground farming, I've always believed that if an embark site lacks underground water sources, you can't grow any plump helmets etc. despite mud/soil being present.
