I don't know how your base is designed, but what i've done is trained 7 crossbow dwarves and posted them in a tower overlooking the only bridge into my base, and they forget stuff up. They train up really quickly, and I use them as hunters as well so they train doing that too.

Do you have skype or something so we can screen share and I can show you my fort so maybe you can help me get through it?

Edit: They just vanished, what happened?

They probably thought that the siege was a waste of their effort and left.

Anyway, I spend ages this morning finding out what monsters I don't want to meet in adventurer/fortress (using the arena thing).
Got 6 humans and one goblin (goblin under my control) with G.M hammerman and G.M dodger, equipped with iron breastplates, iron greaves and iron mauls. I put that lot up against a single UNSKILLED hydra, and the result:

--- Quote from: Hydra kill log ---Two Notable Kills

Human 8 the human
Goblin 1 the goblin (me)

Five Other Kills

Five humans in the Arena

I never want to see a hydra for real. Never.
On the other hand, it did lose 4 necks and bleed to death after I left control mode and unpaused the game.

(Double posting for change of topic)

How do you tell your training squads what to train with? Currently I have a large stock of sword and a slightly smaller pile of warhammers and they seem to prefer gently tapping each other with the hammers. I want a squad of swordsdwarves :(
Captain Crazy:
Starting fort mode as a troop of tasty, tasty Humans. Gonna make an above-ground town of wood and stone, with the only underground features being mines.

It's really cool to be able to embark with above-ground crops like wild strawberry seeds.
