Could Ghosts be a form of defense? (I just had a Demon attack a Ghostly Stonecarver for quite some time. Would this work for other things?)

Could you execute dwarves in strategic places, and hope for a Ghost that drifts around the place of death, whilst memoralizing other types of ghosts?

I kinda want to try this out, and make a thread of it now.

How about a combining-of-everything-that-has-happened-up-to-this-point thread? I say we make a bolt-based succession fort (on a big embark) where we cave in a normal-embark-sized area around a pit in a cavern, in order to execute dwarves strategically, thus enabling us to use our wooden weapons/ammo to kill the clowns that are distracted by our ghostly dwarvern martyrs.

Um. I think that counts as an insane feat?

Ah Bay12...
The only Forum where Bad Posters don't get Lynched but end up having their FailThread turned into something else thats "Useful"...

((Note: Not calling OP a bad poster or anything like that, I have been there myself...))

[Loud Whispers]

What does that have to do with dots?


Trees can be weaponized by making weapons/ammunition, or by causing caveins. They can also act as a barrier.

Put a creature with deadly dust inside a ring of trees. The trees don't stop it from noticing there's stuff outside (in fortress mode), but nothing can kill it.

Invincible infinite dust machine.

hahaha wow I just came back to this not expecting an actual conversation! I love this forum haha

Bay 12: The only place that not only won't scream, yell, and/or make fun of a thread double poster, but they will take the thread and derail it so hard it would de-orbit the earth if physical.

Okay, maybe we haven't reached that point yet, but I love this place.

But seriously, if there is enough fuel, they will take ANY non-offensive thread husk and derail it. Look at the Bay12 space program, for instance. Started as a ,"How many people play DF?" thread.

No, that sounds pretty normal thing to do. ("Normal" being scaled according the relative state of normality of the Bay12 population, which is, to say the least, somewhat dubius.)

And knowing Bay12, the failthread will end up becoming much more popular than the real one.
If there is one thing we are good for, it is derailing threads

Darn I like this community.

I think carp.

I think carp.

One of my civs had an skeletal carp god of death once.

[Ivir_Baggins]

That's nothing. One of mine had a skeletal badger god...

Of Life.

I don't think the _entire_ embark, but theoretically everything above SMR and excluding a 2-tile-think ring against the edge of the site, by digging out the inner part of said ring.

This has the added effect of removing the entire fortress. Join the circus if you don't want to die. (Disclaimer: Joining the circus is a easy way to die)

... I am going to have to dedicate a fortress to channeling out the walls of the entire embark area down to the SMR layer, then smashing everything, and hope I get a more dramatic result than just everything dropping a Z-level.

How about a succession fort where we somehow trap the starting 7 below -5z and then trying to survive until we could build back up?

Theres a entire sucession fort that was built of a single fail post. Go look up "Necrothreat".
