[Gwolfski]

What labyrinth?

[NCommander]

Now's that the titan is preoccupied with smashing things, this is a good opportunity to expand. You can probably save the masonry workshops, at the very least. You might be able to lure the titan through Gwolfski's huge labyrinth.

Yeah, I should probably do something besides sit there and watch the Ruthless Rutherer kick zombies off ledges. Tomorrow shit will get done.

Any chance of filling the husk with bolts and inflicting some sort of damage?

Haha, nooooo. That fucker is immortal.

It seems that if we can get a sort of good vantage point against it, he'd be a great source of live training even if he doesn't die much.

Maybe. I'm thinking either cave-in trap or a drawbridge trap. Cave-in might be easier - I have some logs, and building destroyers will destroy wooden supports. But I'll try a drawbridge trap first. Hmmm... A long winding corridor with a drawbridge in the front... I can use the gorlak as bait...

Titans can't be crushed (or more specifically, anything above a specific size can't be crushed), drawbridge trap won't work. Bolts *can* kill husks, Toady did fix that awhile ago, it just takes a LOT, and they have to get lucky and get a direct strike on head.

Thinking cave-in trap though is the way to go on this, but I've noticed quite a few pathing hiccups with things that should be attracted to artifacts and living creatures.

By 'drawbridge trap' I mean 'a trap that has bait inside and seals with a drawbridge'.

[Sanctume]

deconstruct my statue as bait!

[Gwolfski]

All my work. I got migrants in. I started surface reclamation. It's all gone!

No screenshots, no updates, no proof - no loss.

[Gwolfski]

Save is proof. Extra dwarves present in game is proof(although thats gone). Tower on surface is very good proof!

[Archereon]

Huh, so my turn is almost up. I'm going to deliberately refrain from actually reading the AAR thus far so I can come into this as clueless about the current situation as possible. All the better for !!FUN!!


Also holy crap the forums are fast now, I gather the server was upgraded?



Edit: Wait no, that happened back in December.

[Sanctume]

Tower has no roof, so we will likely get a flying Salo.

Yeah, there was a forum upgrade not so long ago.

[Archereon]

Cool. From the looks of things, we didn't really get any visitors, which honestly isn't that surprisingly. I'll grab a dorf whenever my turn comes around, unless you guys would be cool with me bringing in a random peasant adventurer from the nearest town for the lulz. Presuming of course that the situation in the fortress allows it to go unattended for a week without collapsing.

[Sanctume]

I dunno, can the fortress retire "safely" husk titan running loose?

[Gwolfski]

There is a roof.

[Spish]

We did have one long-term resident, a human spearman. He was face-down in the dirt at the start of Imic's turn though; it was a rather short military career.

I'll test if retiring a fortress in such a state without screwing everything up is possible, but I sincerely doubt it. Maybe if the titan is sealed away it won't be able to cause any problems.
Edit: Oh yeah, first we're going to have to do something about that undead siege...

Realistically though, constructions would keep it busy a hell of a lot longer than live bait. If there's anything I know about titans, it's that they can't resist a fine door.

Alright then, I'll get a chest and put it in the trap. It's made, by the way. I'm just about to open it to the outside and seal the rear.

The Ruthless Rutherer has been locked in someone's temple for her own good. I don't want her interfering with Salo.

There's also the question of whether or not the bugs associated with retiring/unretiring are resolved. IIRC 0.43 fixed most/all of them, but I haven't checked that personally.
