Has anyone tried a bridge/pitfall with cages at the bottom vs trapavoid?
Doesn't work. Unless they pass out from pain (in which case it was a high drop).

You sure? A fall would stun them, right? Is stunning enough to allow them to be trapped?
Although it definitely wouldn't work on forgotten beasts / titans, since they don't get stunned or knocked unconscious. However, it would (if stunning works that way) work on kobolds and sometimes humans, since as I recall humans are immune to all your traps that were in place when their last diplomat left.

If you want simple, bronze colossuses and most other megabeasts don't have trapavoid-- a single cage trap will snag them as easily as it will a goblin.

If you're concerned about titans (who do have trapavoid), the wiki page on trap design contains a few designs at the bottom for snagging trapavoid building destroyers.

Old post, but where in this guide is the trapavoid?

He he he.  Yeah, it almost looks done...  alas...  those who are in your teens, hold on until your twenties...  those in your twenties, your thirties...  others, cling to life as you are able...<P>It should be pretty fun though.
