Best *Spoiler* Disposal methods?
« on: December 16, 2010, 08:03:25 am »

I recently unleashed the
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
and wow... fps went from 70 to 25, im currently building an elaborate maze system where i plan on luring them into the corridors and dropping a few tons of rock on them, hopefully fixing my fps,

wondering if anyone have had this situation before and what the best methods of dealing with it are, besides succumbing to fps death =P

I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

Yeah, unfortunately you'll never kill all the clowns. They just keep coming, and they are rather fleet of foot.

A good way is to make a long (depending on what type of deamons you have) hallway filled with  upright spikes. Now link the spikes to a repeater and let them come. Make shure the hallway is long enough to kill all of them. Remember that some deamons are more powerfull then others. It might even be a good idea to use a bait dwarf with a huge food stockpile and walled in to draw the deamons to him without dirrectly exposing your fortress.

Cave-in bombs work wonders as well.

Make a diagonal pattern of single floor tiles on supports. Cave in traps everywhere.

Once the initial wave is dead, you can safely wall the hole up without the pathfinding bomb.
