Yeah, I know. But the current entrances are such a mess, cleaning them up is probably a longer term project and being able to bypass them is probably good.
We still do need to do something about the surface undwellers before we can get trade and migration, but an accessible entrance is a start.
Yeah, I suspected as much. I set my eyes on the mess during my turn and I was like
"NOPE, not touching that" Much easier to do your own thing than to clean up someone else's mess. Perhaps you can look into retaking the old trade depot if you have time left
(I suspect not). Build some cage traps then deconstruct the bridge so that the zombies within can get caged when they wander out. That way most of the inner fort should be free of zombies.
Quite frankly, I admire your good intentions for attempting to free those trapped visitors, but those visitors that were trapped for so long will just attempt to flee the map once they are free, joining the undead mob on the surface. It will not end well unless they have a safe path to escape from.
Also wait what? The goblins choked on the acrid slime?
(Or was it something other than the acrid slime and nefarious fog?) I thought that only gave negligible symptoms. I had
dwarves necromancers get coated from head to toe in it with nary a scratch. Granted, they had access to a working well to clean themselves with. But still, I thought the south end of the map was relatively non-deadly.
Take this advice, only way to scour the surface of the living dead is magma. You let em linger and its only going to get worse. This is the reason we have a magma pump stack that reaches to the surface. Levers for its operation are near the stack itself, above the magma sea level. Do this asap if you want traders/ visitors to come though i suspect autumn trading is out of the question at this point.
I don't suppose you have a way of trapping/ capturing/ entombing the web titan? Would be useful to weaponize so we can trap stuff. Also can we have screenshots of
Tunem Dutorulak Etruemtha the savanna titan before you flood the surface with magma?
One more thing, our human guest
Dasmir is a new arrival methinks. If he can get all the way there then there must be some other breach in the west part that we are unaware of from the surface. If not some other route from the main entrance. In any case, I would advise walling up that tunnel after you let him in so you have less to worry about.
Are Andreus and Silverlock still alive? Keep them away from the surface/ danger at all costs. They need to be alive else we will have no one to run the tavern.
Doing a good job there, just a little more Ghills! I eagerly await your next update!
