Sacrifices to Armok! Or to Os Badsilt, the scary web-spitting FB in the first cavern. I lost all my prisoners in the Deconstruction, though.

Right now I'm finishing up the web trap in hell. I'm using a design similar to the one on the wiki page for web. I'mma catch me some demons!

and below



The GCS won't shot web at the giant sparrow. I'll have to get a more hostile bait creature.

On another note, I have a giant and two giantesses. I'M GOING TO BREED GIANTS... someday.

Worse comes to worse you could always drop a Dwarf in there for a short while

Giant farming... I haven't thought of that before. Could you be able to arm them in some capacity, with perhaps a little modding? Giving them a minimum of novice ambush skill, taming them and making them a part of your civilization would give you some pretty powerful Giant hunters.

I'm waiting for next version so I can port Bastiongate over and make a giant slum. A giant giant slum. A slum for giants. Yes.

No, other way round. The sparrow is wild and the spider is tame. Anyway, there's now a wild sparrow flying around inside the Hell Bastion.

On a similar note, I have an ambitious project in mind.

I'm going to flood hell.

While incredible in itself, that's not the end of it.

I'm going to flood hell... to grow things in it.

Aussieguy grew wild strawberries and honey in Hell, it was quite the undertaking (involving boring straight through from the overworld to the underworld). It hasn't been flooded in recent game versions, and you know what that means?

Hell mushroom trees :D

Guys, guys. Guys. What if I grew trees... Guys, trees... IN HELL.

The game was frozen for a little while (probably calculating a battle in the background) and also I caught a troll! Let's see if the troll works as bait.

So that giant sparrow I released in hell tried to get loose the only way it could... Through the hell bunker. And my dwarves. My hell workers are terrified and angry. I'm sending the Hellguard, but predictably, the Hellguard is really far away. How do you make a squad stay in a burrow?

Station orders and playing with elevations seems to be the only way

SPRING 282!

I've uploaded a save to DFFD, and I will do so every year from now on. The purpose is twofold: To give me a backup of my world, and to give you all a copy of my save. Check the OP.

The jabberers are hatching, as you will see if you open up my save. The troll also did not work as bait - I think I'll have to wait until I get an attack to get some effective bait.

"Greetings, my queen. Welcome to Bastiongate."
"Hello, kind sir. I am quite tired after my journey here. Will you please show me to my rooms?"
"Yes, your highness. They have been ready for a long, long time."

Yeah. However, she's never done anything in her life but become queen. I'm going to make her do things.

Fun fact: Bastiongate was a randomly generated name.

Wait a minute...



I've only got ONE artifact bed...

Those are the same artifact.

One of my animal trainers went fey and made an artifact bow, a blind cave ogre doesn't work as spider bait either, and a flaming giant mosquito set the surface on fire. I've shut everyone inside until the fire dies down. Fat chance of a rainstorm, I'm in a desert. The wooden cages in the cage traps ring keep burning, so my mechanics are going to have a hell of a job after this.

I looked at the descriptions. They're the same artifact. The name, the decorations, all the same.
