Hahaha, this is great, I am putting it on my to-do list.

Could you please make a short movie?

[Soralin]

Sure, I put up a few movies:

Orc siege:  http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-1409-orcscanttaketheheat

It was in the winter, so maybe that's why their leather isn't bursting into flames, or maybe from what it's made of.  Nevertheless, after locking my door, they succumb to the heat soon enough outside.


Immigrants arriving, in the spring: http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-1410-immigrantsarrivesomesurvive

A large group of immigrants, I probably ended the movie too soon, about a dozen or so died, a handful, those without leather on, made it to the fortress alive.


Caravan arriving in the summer: http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-1411-flammablecaravan

A couple of wagons arrive, no one is without something flammable, and no one reaches the trade depot, only muskoxen survive.


Cats bringing dead rats to people is usually just a nuisance, but it gets a bit more dangerous when the rats happen to be on fire at the time (thankfully, no fatalities from that so far).  I had some elves that made it to the trade depot, unfortunately, the smoldering fire there killed one of their pack animals and they ran off (unfortunate, because I was going to sell the flaming items to them .

(Dwarvenly) Beautiful!
Thank you, this is one of the most hilarious things I have seen.

One question - do Muscox combust? In third video I noticed that trader with muscox leather cap started burning immidiately but live muscox lived fine all the time. I could imagine that animals are harder to ignite (because of fat, blood, etc that takes some heat away from skin) than dry leather, but...

Awesomeness.  Some things to do:
1.  Add sever on breaks for orcs if you want massive explosions of gore.
2.  Try the idea of making flammable bolts.  Fire them from inside to outside using a fortification.  See if they:
-Catch fire in mid air, and cause the enemy to catch fire too.
-Catch fire when stuck in the enemy, or when landing on floor.

Living things tend to not catch on fire directly.  Like with the orc video, if the muskox stuck around for a while longer it would take damage across all parts of it's body, and would eventually be killed by the heat, then it's corpse would catch on fire.

1. Build a bridge, that raises toward the outside of your fortress.
2. Designate a garbage dump on the bridge.
3. Dump all your leather.
4. Wait until goblin siege arrives.
5. Raise the bridge.

Maybe not very accurat, but hey, kill the goblins with your burning garbage? That's awesome.
