fortifications....
« on: February 06, 2020, 09:50:24 pm »

I looked at wiki and it says enemies can go through them? so my entryway being lined with marksdwarves and fortifications will just let the enemies at my marksdwarves?

No. That's not a thing.
Enemies can get over them by climbing or jumping. So build a roof.

There's also a bug in which walls and fortifications can be dodged through. That might on occasion let someone in.

Creatures may swim through fortifications, if they're fully submerged, or be pushed through it by rushing water.

Likewise, usual passage of fortifications happens when a character accidentally enters the tile - such as dodging, being thrown, or tossed by water/bridges. It's pretty rare - but can happen. So your design is probably okay. Note that enemies can fire back through the fortifications, if they have bows/crossbows.
