As you can see, she is a high master Axedorf. Did I do this? NAY! she came to my fortress this way. She has currently been put to the post of Militia Commander.

So... does she tan the skin of her enemies after spilling their guts and brains, too?

Yeah, how do you do that? I always thought it would end in loss of life and limb and head and guts and your friends and your alcohol and your fortress and your sanity and your FPS and stuff.

Once had a queen arrive who was a master speardwarf, competent fighter, master dodger and high master armor user. Also came with a free steel spear. She was the militia commander of that fort.

Had a Legendary Hammerdwarf migrate in a wave of 25 other migrants...I didn't notice him until the siege 15 minutes later...gave him the heaviest warhammer I had, no armor and he almost single-handedly skull-raped every goblin on the field...he promptly threw a tantrum (I still don't know what happened) and he proceeded to kill every living entitiy in sight...I killed him finally with my failsafe, only 6 dwarves survived the massacre out of nearly 70...craziest EVAR.

I once had a Legendary Diagnostician migrate in with High Master suturing and surgery skills.  I immediately made him my Chief Medical Dwarf, nicknamed him 'House' and did my damnedest to get him to hurt his leg.  (To no avail, sadly.)

I don't understand, though that is about right with anything DF related.
I just hope he dies the same death that all dwarfs deserve: liver disease.

I once named my doctor "House", but that's because, right as he was about to treat my miner who had both of his legs broken, he was stricken by a mood.

"Well then, Urist, it looks like both of your legs are br-... WAIT A MINUTE. I MUST MAKE A SPEAR OUT OF MULE BONE" *storms off*


But to actually give a proper answer to this question, I guess the best one would be a High Master Weaponsmith who also had a whole bunch of farming skills. Useful dude.

That's a damn good migrant, I've never got better than talented soldiers.

My current fortress got my favourite migrant: great miner, talented weaponsmith, talented armorer, talented furnace operater, competent suturer and competent military skills. She can dig out the ore, turn it into metal, turn it into weapons and armour, then help stitch up the wounded when things go wrong.
