Two Ideas for Fighting HFS
« on: May 22, 2013, 01:16:18 am »

1. Will undead attack clowns? In an evil biome, what odds do you give to a couple dozen or even hundred undead critters locked in a room with the clowns?

2. Falling rocks sure can hurt my dwarves. Can they also hurt the clowns? I'm thinking of having them come up a long vertical shaft, then letting them destroy grates to release the rocks, or blocks, or whatever. What do you suggest for ammo?

Never played with the secret stuff, so no idea on 1.

2. - it's been tried and the results are not only hilarious, but also fairly impressive: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=114769.msg3525733#msg3525733
Falling object damage is somewhat broken currently, thus anything can do damage; but heavy stuff like boulders and statues works particularly well. I think clowns have trouble demolishing buildings from below, so triggering the shower of socks by dwarf-operated levers should work better.
