Wow, 170 invaders. Out of curiosity, did Ngebzosmanges the beak dog have its name upon arrival or was there death that we didn't get to see? Though, I would guess from the fact that one of the bowman appears to have advanced up to elite from shooting that this is an after murder shot.
Let's Play Dwarf Fortress: Syndrome Conundrum

Why does one of the beak dogs have a name? Maybe you could dive into legends and satisfy my curiosity? :3
Holy crap. I change my mind about wanting to join Reveredtour.
But no, seriously. That's a lot of invaders. I think you should try to initiate Operation Fuck The World [http://lparchive.org/Dwarf-Fortress-Boatmurdered/Update%201-18/], especially since the elves are already mad with you.

The reason that beak dog has a name is because he killed the goblin that had been riding him. This happended right when the goblins arrived and I'm not sure why. I've heard of goblin loyalty cascades in old versions in which goblin forces would kill each other, but that involved entire sieges rather than a single soldier.General-Veok said:
The size of a siege is baed on the population and wealth of the fortress. Reveredtour is a weak, crumbling fort but it still maintains a huge value because we have a lot of high quality goods being produced. This means the goblin attacks only increase in ferocity. Which wouldn't be as big a problem if I had managed defense properly from the start.Smiles said:
Still, this siege seems unusually large.
Wow I love how my dwarf consideres the doctor drowning "no serious wounds" But don't worry, I will make a fine replacement! I'm the family reunion "Operation" Champion, and I swear I only cheated half the time!Internet Kraken said:
On a diffrent note, please tell me you have some sort of secret deathweapon you havent told us about. I don't think i could bear to see ReveredTour turn into another Townbrush.
Yikes. Well perhaps I should keep my yap shut next time I think of a suggestion. Just had most of the dwarves in one of my own forts killed & horribly mauled by some sneaky cave crocodiles. Seems I had forgotten to floor over one little tile over a ramp leading further into the caverns. Fun times were had by all.
While the current situation is a bit grim, things in Reveredtour could be a lot worse of course. Looking forward to more installments of this story.

I've seen that happen in .18, too. In my case it was a fight involving a goblin general and his squad vs. another squad, IIRC.Internet Kraken said:
So rather than write an update today I instead decided it would be best to get the Reveredtour save up and running the newest version of Dwarf Fortress. The reason for this is because Toady has stated that he's going to get around to fixing some of the old bugs, which will benefit Reveredtour in a lot of ways. I can't utilize most of the games new features, so very little will probably change on the surface. Probably.
Therapist also works with the newest version so I can play the game whilst retaining my sanity. I tried to get Stonesense working but I'm and idiot and couldn't figure out how to do it properly.

Alas, .20 and .21 only fixed bugs introduced in .19. It'll be .22 and .23 that finally take care of some of the older extant bugs.Internet Kraken said:
Love some of the bugfixes:
# Stopped heroes in world gen from picking fights with dead megabeasts
# Adjusted value of bees
# Stopped dwarves from encrusting honeycombs with jewels, etc.
and just
# Deer antlers

I think there could be a whole column devoted to entertaining patch notes. I think I remember an article either on Joystiq or Rock Paper Shotgun to that effect, some months back.
That...is a lot of goblins. I mean come on that's just sad. Well, that leaves you one thing then;
... Oh. Well, ok, you're fucked.

I so want to know what was wrong with them.The_root_of_all_evil said:
Does it involve these guys [http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Harlequin]?
Yeah I reckon that'd help.
I'm guessing that their horns were made out of the wrong material, assigned to both male and females, or outright removed. Not sure how Toady even managed to mess them up though since they were fine before this version.Cowabungaa said:
Writing stuff for Warhammer 40K must be one of the best jobs, since you get to think of ridiculous shit and so long as it's brutal and grimdark they put it in.
Awwwwww, I was hoping it was something amazing, like antlers the size of 10 dwarves or something like that. DF has the coolest bugs. Wasn't the varocity of carp also a bug? Well, an ascended glitch [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AscendedGlitch] by now.Internet Kraken said:
True that, it gets even better:
Warhammer 40K is the Painkiller/Bulletstorm/Duke Nukem of the tabletop world. The Harlequins are surprisingly non-grimdark though. Just...insane.
