What to do =)?
« on: January 10, 2013, 01:14:23 pm »
Haven't played the game for some time, then learned about minecarts. Time to go back, let's play with them! So I decided, and started a fort.

It was all going the right way, until...




I've managed to camp down from behind fortifications their pink leaders, but the servants would like to stay. Express danger room training didn't help, all the squad of five died miserably. Like choked by dozens of moving nasty things..

What's the best way of doing with such things, I wonder!

It's a dwarf.  Their natural habitat is "trapped on the wrong side of a wall".

Flinging children halfway across the map to land in magma is good, wholesome fun, but extramarital reproduction?  Why, that's just unseemly!

Magma will melt and destroy all body parts, so it is actually a viable solution, if you have any. I take it they won't simply leave eventually?

So to recap, one minute everything was going just great, and the next we have caverns collapsing, firebreathing cave beasts, underground brush fires, a screaming swarm of poltergheists back for revenge, zombies in the corridors, drunken brawls in the dining halls, magma pouring into the caverns, rotting miasma everywhere, insanity, madness, and a flying crocodile heading right towards us!

About magma, sad to say, it's low below yet. My fort will die out of isolation likely before I manage to get it up.
I think, I shall better set up a dodge line with atomsmashers at the bottom of the fall pit. This shall do the job, as nothing, that doesn't crush the bridge, withstands atomsmashing.

Easiest method of removing zombies/husks/thralls: Atom Smash.

Magma will make !!Zombies!!, and since they operate on a hit point system, magma will never kill them since it just makes things bleed to death. Unless you also obsidianize them, in which case they will die just like anything else encased in fresh rock.

Melt down everything, beat all the metal bars into hammers, and hand one out to everyone. Then, unleash the horde.

Hardly. I've had them stay for over two years before a well-equipped bunch of gobbo machine gunners took them all out. It didn't do much to improve the situation, but at least goblins leave on their own.

Well, I've found the solution!

There is an atomsmasher at the bottom, so everything, dead or moving, got pulverised there down to dust to fly away... Something was left in the traps, but it'll go the same way with the help of my dwarves. The last horse hair, that wouldn't go in for some reason, was shot down by two brave marksdwarves.

P.S. There was an ambush of goblins in the middle. I almost felt pity for them, because they couldnt survive a day (in fortress timescale, approximately). That was very short.
