Ask about anything related to Dwarf Fortress - including the game, utilities, bugs, problems you're having, mods, etc. You will get fast and friendly responses in this thread.

Read the sidebar before posting! It has information on a range of game packages for new players, and links to all the best tutorials and quick-start guides. If you have read it and that hasn't helped, mention that!

You should also take five minutes to search the wiki - if tutorials or the quickstart guide can't help, it usually has the information you're after. You can find the previous questions thread here.

If you can answer questions, please sort by new and lend a hand - linking to a helpful resource (eg wiki page) is fine.

So about forty little green friends came to pay me a visit for the first time...right after a couple visiting dwarves psychos threw a tantrum because I wouldn't give them my special copper earring. I immediately realized I should've removed all of those "ramps" near the drawbridge at the front of my fortress. Knowing it didn't matter now, what with the gobbos nearly to the drawbridge, I gathered up all of my troops and stuffed them into the main corridor.

The green guys stream down the hill toward the gate, but don't appear to have a clear line of sight, so my decently trained troops (got a few axe lords out of this fight) start wading through them. Bloooooddddd blooooddddd blooooddddd death. They weren't massed, so they hit me in two larger groups and one small one. There were probably four or five of my dwarves that did most of the work, but all seemed to contribute, gobbos weren't up for it.

The last pikeman tries running, which I think is just really bad manners after such a grand party invitation, so I have a captain deliver a heartfelt message to him (or maybe he was just feeling his heart, unsure). Fight's over, gobbos strewn about the hills, and now the captain of the guard and one decent axe dwarf are stranded in the hills due to injuries. Worthless drunkards inside the fortress, hell even their comrades, refuse to go pick them up. All in all it went much better than I thought it would.

Seriously contemplating starving everyone if they don't go retrieve the heroes soon though

Edit: somehow the burrow, which wasn't active, was preventing the drunkards from retrieving our not-so-forgotten-after-all-heroes. Is that a forgotten beast now? Yes, yes it is
