Undead climbers. . .
« on: December 19, 2014, 07:42:56 pm »
So the last couple of weeks i've been chugging away at df, and happened to embark next to a tower. I've literally just lost my third hold to /%&¤ undead getting into my hold. The last time (5 min ago) an undead spearman climbed a tree and proceeded to beeline to my main stairway. As vain as i was i tried to let as many dwarfs as possible inside before setting doors to forbidden. then when its time to close the doors i cant believe my eyes. The door is open and cant set as forbidden. Fuck. Undead seiges are seriously a different ballgame compared to goblins, jeez. . . lethal doses of fun ;P

My current mode of defense is walls and marksdwarfs, how do you guys tackle the undead?

Long approaches. Roof. Cage traps around all doors and hatches.

Mules gotta spleen. Dwarfs gotta eat.
