Solonatek just suffered its first titan attack.it was a huge,blue flying insect which shot web.so i alerted my citizens back to the base,i walled my second entrance,i gathered military and started making some bone bolts.pretty standard stuff.in the meantime,the titan made very short work of some orcs and some obnoxious migrants,only suffering a fractured bone on one of its legs.and then,it went to attack a child.at first,it shot web.and then some more web.and then some more,some more,and i realized it continually spammed the same move.
seeing the opportunity to kill it without further casualties,i sent my(poorly trained and equipped,and with no war animals) military against it and pressed alert once more to make sure only them would move out of the fort.at first it went well.it spammed web all the time which,although it trapped my macedwarves,didn't do any damage.my marksdwarves took some pot shots to it with reasonable results.
and then,a tantruming dwarf murdered another dwarf in my fort.having closed the gate and with my captain of the guard webbed,they had no one to report the crime to,but i'll get into that later.
anyway,my marksdwarves quickly ran out of bolts,so instead of going and grabbing some more,they cried havoc and charged into the web...which the Armok damned insect kept spamming.eventually,the commander of the marksdwarves managed to break free and finally brought it down...by biting its neck and kicking its armored head(god,i love this game).
with the threat removed,i finally opened the gate...and then 150+ dwarves rushed from the gates into the (still webbed) captain to report the aforementioned murder.and for the next five minutes,virtually all my fort was stuck in the webbed area,continually spamming error messages.
i guess the titan got the last laugh,after all.
P.S:the funny thing is,since no one was able to reach the captain,the crime was eventually reported 10 minutes later by only two dwarves.
