Could you make wooden bridges flammable? please? :p
« on: July 31, 2014, 10:23:45 am »

I recently retired a fort, and created some adventures to pass off some time and check in legends how my dwarfs did. But I found out that a human douchebag had crucified my entire military which each dwarf I gave a cool nickname. Supposedly he was still at this fort and my quest for revenge was born. 

But uhh... I can't get inside. The bridge I used to block off the entrance is raised, and I can't destroy it. It kind of sucks to have travelled all the way to end up with a raised bridge. Could you make these flammable so I could avenge my fallen warriors and have their spirits rest in peace?

Unfortunatly, this bug has been around for a very very long time, and it's unlikely that having it fixed will make the save compatible with yours.
Your best bet is to find a dragon or titan, lead them to the fort, and watch as they are hypnotised by the building they could possibly destroy, ignore you and destroy the bridge for you.
Then wonder what to do with the left-over megabeast standing in front of you.

Constructions in general need to really lose their invincible status.

I understand that it is disappointing when a dwarf makes a spiked loincloth instead of an axe.

Raised bridges are indestructible right?  I though bridges could only be destroyed while lowered.  Yeah in general, destruction of constructions and bridges is a requirement for improved challenge from sieges and megabeasts.
