Deadly vomit FB captured and trained
« on: December 21, 2013, 04:41:04 pm »

I modded my FBs to be trainable and able to breed. I have one at my entrance trained by a master, it's behind some fortifications. It vomits deadly paralyzing stuff. I already have a dwarven pressure washer and plenty of shoes. Question is: Will invaders be affected by the vomit, can they dodge it, and does this require any further setup?

Dump weapons where the FB is going to vomit.

Once the weapons are coated, unforbid them and asign them to your soldiers.

Now Your military is equiped with deadly vomit axes.

In a hole in the ground there lived a dwarf. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a dwarf fortress, and that means magma.

Unfortunately I lack any metal, so my troops are sporting crossbows and bone bolts. By a slim miracle of a cavein and a cage trap did I manage to capture the beast. Most everything else walks into the storm smasher.

Dump the bolts then.

Yep. Done.

I had to butcher half the fortess sheep population to get enough leather gloves to safety proof my army. I got it to vomit on the bolts via caged polar bear.

And just in time for the elven caravan. HUEHUEHEUHEUHUEHUEUHE.
