Anti-Flood Drawbridge?
« on: April 21, 2007, 10:17:00 pm »

I know there was a post on it already, but I can't find it manually or with search.


The drawbridges that you put above and below your main bridge.  Which faces in which direction?

I'm not sure it matters. Just as long as you don't leave any gaps, because a legendary mason of mine once again proved how retarded dwarfs in water are, by standing still in a square with land on three sides.

The top one raises down, the bottom one raises up... I think. That's what generally makes intuitive sense for me, and I've always just gone with my gut, and never yet messed up...

Assuming you're asking what I think you're asking.

Actually, I don't think it matters. Well, as long as neither one goes left or right, anyway.

Since you can't build bridges on top of each other, the only option you have is top bridge raises down, bottom bridge raises up.

Do handrail bridges actually work? I could have sworn I had the idea months ago and was then disappointed when rivermen could attack through a raised bridge and floods still swept dwarves away.
