[Palpatine]

Meph, I imagine you're aware of the 40.04 tree problems, where they drop limbs capable of soil penetration and shoot up through soil and rock.  You might want to hang onto a copy of 40.04 if you think you can duplicate this bug as a feature on certain creatures or a new megabeast.  Because a bunker buster from either above or below on anything makes it a vicious late game opponent if you wanted to up the difficulty. 

Edit:  Or, if it can't be applied to the creatures directly, you might be able to make them spawn the bugged version of the trees.  These suckers grow in about a week's in game time and are perfect for an invader to rip open defenses and force their way inside.

This kind of thing can be done with DFhack already, but I know Meph didn't want to include things that will mess up your fort's layout by poking holes in stuff.  I gave him a spell that opens up a pit leading straight into the Underworld under an enemy's feet but he didn't want it for that reason.

I didnt include it, because it unleashes the HFS when the bottom comes into view. Its instant death and FPS death for most players/forts.

How about the possible feature suggested by Palpatine? Any chance we'll be seeing that?

Man, that'd be cool.

I cant replicate it, but I can make use of scripts to simulate it. But getting the AI to use it cleverly will be difficult.
