The draconian migrants brought a breeding pair of giant cave spiders!

I don't think they breed in vanilla...
I plan to add "GCS hatchlings".
Then, I will cull entire goblin armies with mass webbings and spider feasts.

Also heard you can web FB's into cage traps.

The only way to cage them, actually.

Then, I will make a forgotten beast zoo, to amaze the goblins as they parade to their doom!

Build it on a pyramid. Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha~

Back on topic, what should my next fort be? I haven't decided yet. Preferrably, nothing to do with making a working military, as I still haven't figured it out properly, except building the danger room. Thinking about starting in a freezing biome, or on barren plains with nothing around.

... Y'know, I'm actually going to make that.
A fort completely surrounded by walls with a depot outside (so that traders can be my early ambush alert instead of fisherdwarves).
I will report how long did they survive.

Its name will be 'Final Destination'. ;) A dwarf suicide colony for unforgivable criminals.

I just found a dwarf cage from my animal stockpile. I didn't need to wonder it long, as the caged dwarf was the dwarf that constantly keeps fainting around...

Started a new fort after "fixing" the derpicorn raws some more. Everything seems to work, though, so I'm happy.

DF in a nutshell, in quite a few cases. Sigging.

One of the axelords that came in with the queen is a hunter...with no archery or marksman experience. How does that work? I just send him out to waste a quiver of ammo embarassing himself? I've just treated him like a hauler -- 'sorry buddy, an axelord deserves more respect than that but I don't know what to do with you.'

I'd like him to improve his ambushing, but not on something fruitless. It'd be cool if he could use throwing axes, that'd be badass. He could creep up through the jungle, let fly, and behead a lion at a hundred paces. And that's how an Axelord goes hunting!

If he would do that, I'd crank out steel until he had a set of masterworks all to himself, one for each hand and three more should fit in his quiver.

My duchess bans the export of Tin items, and requires tin items (we have one bar of tin in the fortress...).
My Duke consort bans the export of anvils (huh?) and iron items. (Lot's of goblinite, lots. No ore though...)
My Tax Collector bans the export of copper items. (We have tetrahedrite....)
My Mayor bans the export of gold items. (found one vein a while ago...)

Seriously nobles, why are you so against metal-industry!

Do they suffer from low moods? They might be fans of emo instead of metal.

Don't let her combine the two.

She has babies while fighting just so she can have a little time to rest.
