I don't think that there's anyone in the fortress that can reliably hit a mountain from more than five feet away though. How many bolts do we have?

[Gwolfski]

we can try....

It only takes 2000 shots to get a good feel for a ballista....

[Urist McKiwi]

From memory, we've only got three ballista bolts in stock.


Also it's aimed at the trade depot, and the titan is currently stuck in the lake.

[Gwolfski]

better build that magma death machine quickly....

I have an idea for my net turn: A working volcano!

CROSSBOW THE HELL OUT OF IT

Alternatively, just wait things out and let the next siege kill it.

Forgotten beast silk is the least valuable, isn't it? I was thinking it might be worth trapping it in a web farm or something, but a GCS would be less dangerous and more rewarding.

But it's not as cool.

''Wooo, look at our amazing spider, with its not being seven stories tall and it's lack of rhythmic undulations.''

Maybe we could start training siege operators and build a catapult?

[Gwolfski]

Maybe we could start training siege operators suicide peasants and build a catapult magma gun?

It's not valuable, but it does result in fireproof clothing. Your dwarves will still die of course, but a pristine suit will be left behind.

That's demon silk. FB silk burns just fine.

Of course the dwarf fortress community knows exactly what fibres do and do not save money on replacing clothes after the occupants have been immolated...


Anyway. Had another crash (I think it's something to do with combat), but I started getting the bolts to work. Meaning that we had two dwarves with bolts out of 20 who should have. Still, it's a start. I'll keep fiddling, see what I can do.

[Triaxx2]

All the guys who were supposed to had them when I was playing. Though I did increase the size of the squad, so that might have something to do with it.

been 2 weeks, anything to report?

Got sick, got better, got sick again only worse this time. Haven't gotten much further ingame but bugs seemed to be worked-around. Since this turn has taken far too long, I'm going to upload the save by the end of Sunday this week, whether I've finished the year or not. This has been one of those "turns from hell" for me, sadly...and it's not anything in the actual game.
