FB animal fun rooms
« on: August 29, 2011, 06:38:06 pm »

So I have 9 FB roaming around in my caverns, and the original breach walled off.  Behind the breach I have 5 alligators and a locked door, behind that door I have 30 cougars and another locked door, and behind that I have 40 war tigers and a draw-bridge (Behind which I have my army).

I dig out a hole and have the FB come, and somehow they manage to make it through!  A flying pig made it over my drawbridge and killed my army! I save scummed and am now planning upgrades, including 50 newly hatched alligators and more rooms.  Besides that, how can I breach the caverns without loosing my fortress... besides magma.  I'm working on that too, but want other options.

Improve your military, one well armed and well equipped dwarf in armor can be worth 100 war tigers, especially against FB's with syndromes as the clothes will protect the dwarves but the animals will die rather quickly.

Yeah, having a good military is the best all-purpose defense you'll have. Other than that though, you could try a Dwarven Land Mine. Surround it with cage traps to capture the ones that don't die.

A steel (or Funobtanium) equipped, danger room trained military might have better chances to kill the enemy... and much better chances not to kill your FPS, than the legions of war animals needed for the same task.
