@KillTheCook:
Well, I turned most of them into hunters and they got killed by an Eagle. That way I kept my population low. Too many dwarves to handle.
@Arglax:
More than 1800 dwarves!? Now I wish there was a screenshot or something. Holding off the legions of HFS for three years is an achievement. Best I've done: one minute.

Easy. Dug my way downwards, and eventually managed to reach it. I was bored, and there was nothing wild to hunt, no ponds to fish, and I accidentally prevented traders from entering...
Also, HFS (I have a fear for those c-c-clowns...) has a reward, although it could be anywhere in the world.Reward
So you're attacked by bandits, 4zb41? It can be difficult, especially if there's a tower between the fortress and the starting town. Necromancers are really annoying. Worst of all, it's the only way to the fortress...
