[Prologue]

I've asked this before on version 0.31.25 and the answer was no, they needed a path to the target to use it. Now that the new version is out (I stopped playing when 0.34 came out, starting to play again) I was wondering if it's possible now. I was looking at the raws and you can add tokens to choose targets (TOUCHABLES, LINE_OF_SIGHT) which wasn't in the 0.31 version.

I've tried it in arena mode and it works, but does it also work in fortress mode?

It doesn't have to be a dragon, it could be anything with a breath attack.

I believe the answer is yes, though they won't use it quite as often as they would if they don't have the ability to path to the target.

[Wrex]

Yes, yes it does. The range is piss poor, but it works.

Time to build some flamethrower defense towers!

I tried it once with an old fort and a (slightly modded - added tamebility back then) dragon and it burned down all surface vegetation, 3 dwarfs, 2 war dogs and 1 goblin thief

Success!
