Wait, is that a bridge or floor tiles?

[simonthedwarf]

dafuq

what will i do then? this seems more and more like a impossible task that only dwarven death can follow from

[Loud Whispers]

Lever controlled dropping -_-

Though seriously, I can't tell from those graphics, and the deployment of a support confuses me further.

If bridges were used, dear Armok I have a use for this

[GavJ]

 I    I     I     I     <---1x1 rooms with supports in them , and with the ceilings not linked to anything.
 F    F    F    F     <--- fortifications
--C----CC---C--C     <--hallway dragons will path along, full of cage traps
 F    F    F    F
 I    I     I    I

Get the dragons to path through there, then pull the lever on the supports.  It will be impossible to kill the dragons outright, because the ceilings fall in on the rooms which are out of reach.  However, dust will flow through fortifications, knocking the dragons around and stunning them.  Falling is not necessary here, though, so hopefully there would be few injuries.

Jsut crushed the expedition leader under part of the trap because the dumbfuck wasn't done with the support...
 The dwarf that removed the connecting floor tile ended up in a cage trap

Well, damn. That's a good plan there.

VICTORY!!!!!

[simonthedwarf]

CONFIRMED: a 1-z level drop will trap immune dragons!

What method did you end up using, and how many dwarves have you lost so far?

[simonthedwarf]

20 dwarves, and it was a floor row supported by a support and a 4x4 zone of cage traps below. The other one will be much more tricky, because I have to construct a new floor up to it.

Nonsense, just abandon that whole hallway, and start a new one from a different angle, that you open up to the dragon only at the last moment.

[simonthedwarf]

Sounds like it would save a lot of dwarv lives. But whats the advantage?

the problem with the whole thing is that the dragon kills dwarves from a screen away with dragon fire

[simonthedwarf]

Ta-ta! Second one is caugh. The DRAGON TEMPLE is now being constructed. I have high hopes for these.

[simonthedwarf]

SOMETHING is up with these dragons. They are following the trainer everywhere. I am fucking scared when they sit in the booze pile.

[Eric Blank]

Pasture them in the tempe, perhaps? And make sure said temple has a drawbridge and a trap setup in the event they revert to a wild state.

I've managed to catch Slusa, the son, but Zangu has escaped my clutches twice. I've opted to let them path in circles through my trap hall, back and forth between two halves of their lair. Because they're dumb and just HAVE to go where the cave moss is bluer. I caught Slusa the first time around and he's being trained, now. I use DFhack to create obsidian walls and floors to decide which side I want them to try to path to.
