GCS only shoot webbing when they can close into melle with their opponent.

Pretty sure you can make a GCS slowing turret (Dwarf Fortress : Tower Defense edition ?!) with good use of locked doors and fortifications, but it's going to be destroyed by archers or trolls.

What if you make a very long route, that is door leads to the fortress, which has way outside? Archers would still kill it, tough. Hm, these magma drowning traps seem the best, even tough they take much time and labour to make.

I haven't used cave crocodiles yet, only dogs, lions, tigers, bears, and whatever random animals I stumbled upon. They all sucked versus goblins, even elephants. I finally learned how to train good military (with or without DRs), so I'll probably ditch animal husbandry altogether (save for tomcats, and whatever else is usefull in kitty towers).

Most animals suck against goblins, cause animals have less armor and deal generally less damage than a weaponed goblin, plus are less skilled.

However, 2 war cave crocodiles will probably tear a goblin apart.

Don't quote me on this as I haven't had a chance to test it but I'm fairly sure GCS will shoot webs regardless of being able to path to their target. GCS silk farms are fairly well documented.

I love cave crocs. I chained one outside my cave outpost. It took numerous monsters and injuries and several years before it finally succumbed to infection.

well, i just came in possesion of a female GCS. i intend to try out this design in short order and give you my verdict on such.

hopefully i can get a male. breeding GCS is the utlimate aim of any silk industry.
