Unless, you know, the wall goes up to the ceiling.

I'm hoping water will wash invaders off walls. Build a really high wall, let enemies climb over to the inside, then wash them off and collect the rain of goblinite!

Considering they don't fall earlier from climbing the demanding, several z-level high wall. Also arrowslits/fortifications here and there scattered through the wall, forced routes and non climbable strongholds carved within the mountain. More reasons to be a dwarf.

[Caldfir]

Will falling water have any impact on climbing?

Remember: if something is worth doing, it's worth doing with magma.

Took the words out of my mouth..

Now castle/fortress design gets more interesting

[evilman222]

Is DF2014 actually in development, or are you just playing a sick (yet dorfish) game with us?

On a more serious note,

Will the ability to send out armies from your fort make it into this release? If so, how will it be handled?

No.

And not.

What's the rewrite you dread the most? I mean that one part of the code you know you have to completely change sooner or later but wish you didn't have to.

[smjjames]

In a retired fortresses, will caged creatures remain where they where?

It's reasonable to assume that they will, but yeah good question.

[Kappas]

People, you are missing the obvious!

I bet one of the choisiest passive defences would be an overhang.

Try to climb over this, axis is xz or yz:

[TalonisWolf]

I figure that all units can climb/jump up, however, can they climb/jump back down?

 The way pathing works, what may actually end up happening is goblins climb up and get stuck up there for your dwarves (preferably behind fortifications) to pick off, or for weapon traps to trick them into dodging off wall and falling (into magma, if possible).


Also,


Will dwarves be able to jump out of minecarts or through fire?

We've already mentioned overhangs.

[LordBaal]

I just called them overthingies or something two pages ago..

[Eric Blank]

That might not actually work, given that flying creatures can already slip through diagonal joints. The invaders might squeeze themselves up "between" the overhanging joint and wall and onto the walkable floor on top of the wall.

[WillowLuman]

Flyers can only slip between horizontal diagonals, though.
