A story I love sharing from an older version of the game and unfortunately the only one that I kept track of as I was left stunned at the result.
A forgotten beast Cyclops decided to pay my dwarven city a visit, so I sound the call to seal the city as I let the hunters act as a vanguard to get my dwarves inside. Unfortunately, the cyclops makes quick work of them and I only just started getting my military in order after getting my iron production started.
So here I quickly assign one of the early recruits to the role of Captain of the Guard, in the role of delaying the foul beast while I scramble to get a militia going to drive it off.
Little did I expect for this single dwarf to not only stand up to the cyclops in single combat but brutally kill it too.
I know cylcops are fairly low on the danger scale, but still to watch and read the logs as this greenbeard dwarf digs into a forgotten beast like I am reading a God of War fanfic was glorious.
What a hero! He did his duty, when the call for arms was given.
To be fair, the farmer should also be given some credit for taking a hit and evading others to provide distraction for the Captain to get stuck in.
Cyclop's poor judgement to not focus of the greater threat to its demise
