Goblin golf
« on: October 11, 2008, 06:20:34 am »

In my latest siege, my legendary axedwarf armed with a +steel battle-axe+ managed to propel a goblin bowman 45 squares diagonally (i.e. 45 squares down, 45 squares left).

This got me thinking - what's the furthest you have seen a creature (doesn't have to be a goblin) be propelled in either fortress or adventurer mode?

I don't remember what post it was, but I recall someone boosting an artifact adamantine warhammer from an abandonned fortress, and hurled a giant desert scorpion some 130 tiles or so

Odd how "Experiment" in DF is often synonymous with "Raging inferno of death and dispair"

My hammerdwarf got a hole in one yesterday. He hit a goblin straight down the middle tile of my road, through the middle of the gates, and the goblin landed in the center tile of the trade depot, 40 tiles from liftoff.

Oh, and the elves were there trading :)

It was indeed an artifact adamantine warhammer, but it was a giant leopard (in the desert).
Oh, and it was 157 tiles
