I demand more science!!
« on: November 06, 2012, 04:20:38 am »

I have lack lf free time because of my work, but i got a lot of interesting ideas in the field of dwarven artllery. Such as throwing magma-conflagrated burning charcoals or just bunch of war geese at gobbos using drawbridge.

Has anybody done some science in this field and can share his discoveries?

The first small thing that made me feel awesome was my indoor waterfall. A few minutes later though, it started flooding my fort so I felt less awesome.

Fire always spreads to everything in the world in my experience.  So flaming charcoal would be more of a nuclear weapon.

I have killed dwarfs by raining frogs on them.

Unless this has changed recently, items on drawbridges are flung in a random direction when raised, so you can't really aim it at much of anything. You would probably be better off using minecarts if you want to launch things.

A lava filled minecart bomb?

i can build an u-shaped hangar with a roof over my drawbridge so only pieces that flies in the desired direction will be fired. Also, lowered bridge will work as a fire distinguisher, atom-smashing charcoal that falls down.
