Auto-arena fort design
« on: July 29, 2014, 11:05:01 pm »

An arena is a good way to train dwarfs in fighting. But all that setting cage traps, then collecting the cages, stockpiling, building cages, building levers, it's too much work.

What would be a good way to design a fort so that invaders automatically walked into the arena area? Then dwarfs can shoot them down or run in and attack if they want.

It probably shouldn't be underground, so it won't get miasma problems.

Farmers and other dwarfs should have safe access to where they want to go without entering the arena.

It should be close to the barracks so that dwarfs don't have to walk to far to get to the arena.

What techniques would you use to build an auto-arena fort?

Isn't that just a courtyard outside your gates?

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.
