keep in mind siege engines only hit their own Z-level

Every Dwarf Fortress Fort is a concentration camp, only without the nazis.

I'm currently making a more than 40z tall tower so flying units have to pass through all the normal entrances. Guess I can understand the tower idea.

Yeah that was the other thing I was concerned of, already had one flying creature come and attack us tho we felled it quickly some how on the ground. (luck quick bash and it was knocked over, then everyone jumped on it's head, it never hit ONE of my dwarfs)

I am confused on why everyone else is confused on my post  :-\

Probably because we can't figure out what "I need something to base out of it I wanna KILL ALL ELVES!" means.

I built a "flak tower" on one fort to annoy the goblin flying units that would hang up on the edge of the map.  Went up 8-10 levels with a decent-quality catapult on every level to fire through the fortifcations on each wall.  If a mounted unit on bats or giant cave swallows hung around on the edge I'd man 3-4 levels and toss rocks at them for a while until they moved or were dismounted by hits.

Brilliant and inefficient. Did I mention brilliant?

Please do elaborate, what is this 'twitter' you speak of? Clearly it is beyond the time of any such person as myself!

brilliant observation and inefficient. How does this relate to the posts?

Top marks for noting that this forum is not twitter, 10 points, but -10 for a totally irrelevant statement for a total of 0 points for you. Nice try. Feel free to actually contribute in the future.
