Is there a list of dwarven superweapons?
« on: September 18, 2014, 11:37:15 am »
Just wondering if anyone's compiled a list of superweapons, flood the world with magma, obsidian cast sieges, minecart shotgun etc.

Well, 'weapons' is a limiting name for them.  You mean 'non-mobile self-defense tools' or 'wmd's?

Off the top of my head

-mauls pikes and spiked balls are the best 'small arms'
-And legendary dodger with decent weapon skills

-The atom smasher (drawbridge)
-contained and uncontained magma floods
-Drowning rooms
-The lignite-water pit (lignite burns, evaporates water, animals pulled into lignite)
-Husks in previous versions
-Water cannons
-Magma cannons
-shotguns (minecarts with stuff in them)
-Minecart defense
-Silk/dragon turrets
-landmines (cave ins with a triggered support)
-pitfalls (trapped dodging pits or a waterfall)
-zombie holes w/trigger (controlled release)


So, I would rather see this kind of list divided into say

-Mobile weapons
-Defense weapons
-immobile offensive weapons
-Perhaps 'situational' defenses

Wouldn't the number one entry be filed under "Environment, creative uses thereof" or something along those lines?

My first community fort (from the order of the stick forums) was on a glacier, I hadn't had much of a chance to play with one so I started digging down to get a region where I could have controlled freezing, lost some miners in the process of course (gotta love digging into an ice layer from a square which is warm enough to melt it, so the whole thing collapses a few seconds later into a bunch of water, pushing a miner into a previously clear area where the water freezes, icecubing them...) and shortly after I got it ready I got a seige from a ton of gobs and trolls, and a webspitting pig-titan! Merry Dorfmas... best part being that the pig killed most of the gobs for me, then chased the last few into what I codenamed GOBLIN SNOWCONE:

All the doomsday machines I've made, all the deliberate magma floodings I've done, nothing was quite as awesome as catching six or seven gobs, three trolls, and a hill titan in a 1x10x1 block of flash-frozen ice.
