Doomsday Weapons 101
« on: November 18, 2012, 12:24:07 am »
Hello Dwarven Kind!

I have had the pleasure of DF for a couple years now but have only recently discovered this forum.
I don't know how to put images on this posts but I wish to know and will try to be as helpful as I can with descriptions.

I have made many fortresses but no megaprojects yet. Now, I want to change that. I want to build a water based weapon to secure the front entrance of my newest fortress. I have two large sources of water in the form of 1: a Lake on who's shore the fort is perched three z levels up and 2: a cavern lake about 20 z levels down but not connected to anything so may be finite in its supply.

I am welcome to all ideas and will appriecate any and all help.

Thank You

How about the "toilet trap"?

Do you have an aquifer on your map?

Build walls around the edges of the map up to the height limit, with floodgates on the lowest level. Fill the huge tank with water, then let it loose when baddies come.

Thanks guys, you have actually helped a lot.

I have lost more than a few forts to gobbos getting inside. Now I can flush the bastards away and not let them shit in my fort. AH HA HA HA HA!
