statues
« on: January 06, 2008, 06:39:00 pm »

ok, so i was working on a fort, i dug out a ton of stone so i had 3 masons running, 2 making blocks 1 making statues. i end up using alot of the blocks making floors and roads, but then i noticed i had accumilated about 200 statues. so my question is, will a statue act just like a wall and block creatures trying to get through or will just about anything destroy them and walk by?

I don't think anything destroys statues but I could be wrong (since I've never used statues to supplement walls before).

yes. They block movement though.

Creatures will smash statues down, I had a bunch in fromt of my fort and the troll squad bashed them all down before they went for the doors.

Only creatures with the building destroyer tag will smash them though - trolls, megabeasts, a few river/chasm creatures though I don't remember which offhand. Normal creatures like deer and bears will just be blocked as if it was a wall.

ok, i guess was kind of a fail idea for it...but i guess thats what this game is about...still easy enough to just build a wall around my fort so the goblins all have to come through 1 way.

Presumably you'll be using roughly a million traps?
