Fear and levers
« on: January 08, 2008, 02:46:00 am »

Two questions:

1) I'm building a catapult bunker, how far away do I need to keep the hostile mobs so the civilians manning the guns won't fee in terror?

2) Is it possible to link a lever to things on another level?

1. No idea. Maximum range -1 or -2.

2. Yes. One of my fort's main bridges was connected to a lever in the main hall several levels below. It worked fine. Mechanisms are apparently remote control devices.

I think the fear kicks in and dwarves start running at 15 or 16 squares. You might want to build the bunker a little further back then that though, just to make sure they are safe from archers - I don't remember for sure if archers can shoot farther then the 'run away' range or not.
