Weaponized firebirds, you say? Now all we need is a turtle launcher.

Step 1: Cage hundreds of turtles.
Step 2: Store cage in dedicated stockpile.
Step 3: Use catapult mod that lets you fire cages to throw turtle at the enemy.
Step 4: Find something better to throw at invaders, perhaps hundreds of war trained animals in one cage?

Notes: The catapult mod does not like throwing cages through fortifications.  Found this out the hard way trying to throw trapped megabeasts(webbed) at invading armies only to have the cage break open on my side of the fortifications.

How often do I have to post that? 

Put hellfire landmines in the cages. Use manual aiming to fire. Eradicate a siege with one shot.

Easy isn't fun though.

Now, a cage filled with 50 Giant Elephants that are all war trained... imagine the sight of that, or the discussion between the urists loading that bloody thing. (Tempted to use sabre tooth tigers or similar animals too, as a call back to futurama, god that caveman episode made me laugh ). You know what? I'm gonna work on a fort for just this. Cat-a-pult. Hur hur.

As for firebirds, their only use is 'make shift turrets'. And even I won't bother with that mess, I hate those damn birds so much... if not immolation, they take a swing at my miners digging a 30 floor deep trench and make the morons dodge into it. Or into lava. Or into a lake and drown. Especially not fun when they make a guy dodge off a bridge over the ocean, with giant sharks below... well. Actually that was fun. Still hate the birds, and one reason i don't embark in good biomes - they're in EVERY. DAMN. EMBARK. Ugh...

Listen, lad. I've built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was swamp.
All the kings said I was daft to dig a trench in a swamp, but I dug it all the same, just to show 'em.
The first miner was mauled by badgers. So, I sent a second one. That one dodged off a bridge and drowned.
So I sent a third one. That one dodged off a cliff, fell into the magma, jumped out into the river, and was eaten by giant sharks.
But the fourth one dug the trench! An' that's what your gonna get, lad -- the finest trench in these islands!
