I spent all night building a gorgeous fort with vast crafting halls and a magma plumbing system/fountain. It is possibly my best planned and layed out fort yet.

About an hour ago I got my first titan. It is a salt blob with wings that shoots webs. Everything sent against it dies. My fort is small (population wise) and I don't have any marksdwarves or even quivers and bolts to equip them with. I am out of wood and I am starting to run short on barrels. I can start digging towards the first cavern, but DFhack puts it at least 40 odd z levels below my current position. Its mid summer now. The elven caravan is gone along with a 16 dwarf strong migration wave. The titan crushes them with its body and not even iron protects against it.

While I dig for the cavern the only thing I can hope for is the arrival of winter, and with it, the mountainhome caravan with complimentary marksdwarf guards.

Honestly, if the thing wasn't flying I would consider just venting the magma to the outside and burn everything.

rock pots to the rescue.  You can dig a trap for it, bait the trap, and then open the trap to the surface.  Exploit the inability to destroy hatches from below.  Then lure it into a bunker outside your fort with a shutter of floodgates/bridges, and use it to web siegers before sending your military out.  Then harvest that awesome forgotten beast silk.

Just seal yourself in and dig that 40 z levels like a dwarf. It'll only take a few ingame days, even with shit miners. Then cut some wood and make some bolts.

And I thought there would be some actual GoT/ASoIaF content here.

Every winter in my fort it begins snowing Dwarf blood <3

Still, salt blob? I'm sure one good marksdwarf could take it out. How many quivers e.t.c. do you have?

... I don't have any marksdwarves or even quivers and bolts...

This is why my first construction is a mechanics shop, second is a bridge. I seal myself in until the first caravan, and then have the option to turtle if anything I can't handle comes along.

Oh, and that simple draw em in lock em in trap is so simple... It's genius

Hey, it's bay12. So, a new pictures, eh LW?

Rerail, but ya, like I said above, turtle in, buddy. Place slothen's trap 2z below the surface, get it all ready (I'd use bridges instead of hatches, link remotely, might be a bit slow, however), breach the surface, and profit!
