Doomsday Devices
« on: December 26, 2011, 03:26:42 pm »
Post your ideas for doomsday devices(those making the map uninhabitable, through pits, water,
!!MAGMA!!, or others) Please post original ones, not just the screw pump/water wheel combo.

I suggest that we add a clause permitting the keelhauling of anyone who suggests a plan involving "zombify the crew".

mods plump helmet men to be [PET]s, tame a bunch, let them breed a bunch more, let them get used to lingering in your common areas.

Then-gather them all in one room and light them on fire with magma.  Plump helmet men burn like eternal lights.  Release the flaming mushroom men from their magma encounter and into your fort. Now they will burn eternally in your dining area. 

Profit.

Also, it's easier to make roasts out of them when they're pre-roasted. I guess.

Sadly, I'm yet to build any doomsday devices. I play Paragon, I can't seem to have an interest in making my own people die.

Giant badgers are cruel saddistic balls of fur and hate. Did anyone know they could paint a wall with a single dwarven baby?.... You know what, I made the Giant badgers sound like sane DF players.

The conceptually simplest one is to build a support near the bottom of the map, channel down to that layer on all the edges then dig out the whole layer around the support, then rig the support to a lever...

Tectonic reorganization will result.

Never had a bat massacre people with an axe before.
EDIT2: Oh god, the bat has got a title now.
