Artifact Door
« on: February 13, 2011, 11:00:42 pm »
I just realized I have an artifact door laying about.  Since artifacts don't take damage, can I put this in front of my gate to make myself building destroyer immune?  I have a statue too, will it stall them indefinitely?

In a word, "yes, but..." i lost a fortress to such a door when a moody dwarf let an F.b. in through a forbidden entrance

Actually, on thinking about it, I think it'll dismantle the door, but not destroy it.  So instead of a "XXMicrocline DoorXX" on the ground, you'd instead have "Artifact Door" on the ground.  Pretty much, just ripped from its hinges.

The statue staller has potenrial, unless it is in the coding to ignore arti's for building destroyers. From toadys evil mind, i bet its coded in

Should you fail to comply, strict !!disciplinary actions!! will be taken. Also, we feel we should remind you that one of the "criminals" on your list is the chief medical dwarf. If he ends up too badly injured to do his job, you will be fired. Out of a magma cannon.

Last time I tried this it worked. In my case I had an artifact armor stand. I put the armor stand out in front of my main gate for everyone entering my fortress to admire. Also it had decorations of elves being slain and I thought it was an appropriate way to greet arriving caravans.

I got some sort of titan that attacked the fortress. It seemed to be completely fixated on the armor stand, always staying about 2 tiles away, basically staring it down. It was as if he was trying to destroy it but was never able to destroy it.

This lasted for about a year until a caravan came and the guards killed it. The armor stand was never harmed or even deconstructed.

Has anyone attempted to use a loyalty cascade to play a hermit fortress?
