Blocking projectiles
« on: December 18, 2017, 07:50:13 pm »

I'm making an upgraded entrance to my fortress (it's all made out of wood. :P) and plan to have a roofed entrance outside that looks somewhat like this:

  __________
 |>               |
 |  (archers)  |
 | (barracks) |
 |                 |
 #fortific.###
 | =brdg==  |
 |xxxxxxxxxx|
 
  (entrance tunnel)
 ___________

where x is something that blocks movement but allows vision and arrows shot from anywhere.
Is there anything that would work for a line of "x" in this purpose?

It wouldn't work for flying invaders, but have you considered a big fuckoff hole?

Right under it is my farms. I don't think a casual farmer, sitting there pulling his finger millet, would enjoy it if a siege of goblins pathed onto his head. Also there's the minor issue of my farm room being behind my defenses :P

you might be able to use vertical grates for the purpose, not sure.
