Spoiler warning

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

If I delve too greedily and release the demons then abandon the fortress, do these demons have any impact on the greater game? Like do they appear to attack other fortresses or are present in Adventurer mode?

[Arcvasti]

Might wanna spoiler the title. Or might not.

If they cause the death of your fortress, they should just chill there. Reclaiming with dwarves or an adventurer will encounter them, but I don't think they do anything more.

They can start to wander around and do stuff. Probably not quite as horrific and world ending an event as it should be, but they can end up in the nearby wilderness and if your fortress is near other sites they might get attacked. I haven't experimented with fortresses specifically much myself, but there have been two times in adventurer mode that I've encountered an area that just had a bunch of demons wandering around it, and upon further investigation it seemed that a glitch or something had caused a hole to open up in the ground all the way to hell. I made several adventurers trying to find that and over time the demons wandering the surface became more and more numerous and started to spread further from the opening. It also started even before I went there as an adventurer and left the Travel screen so it simulates openings to hell without you being there.

You know, while I'm spoiled as hell, linguistically when everyone calls it by that name it is more likely that newbie is more likely to recognize the nickname than proper name.

It kinda applies to me too, my true name is rarely mentioned while nickname is used fifty times more even over a fragment.

...Wait, that sounds like some kinds of clown.

I am currently building a FORT OF KNOWLEDGE that has a huge multi-level library and the goal is to fill every shelf with books.

It will now be the FORT OF KNOWLEDGE AND THE APOLOCAPYSE TOO as I breach hell and trap + store as many demons as possible before unleashing them upon the surface.

[Fleeting Frames]

Hm. That gives me an idea:

Normally, non-wildlife creatures such as undead don't leave the map voluntarily.

Normally, items taken off-site get destroyed.

But game tracks artifacts.

Stick a demon in artifact cage.

Then, forceequip it on a thieving scholar or elven traders? Unless you can trade untamed inside a cage inside a minecart or something.

[onciblu]

Someone said, on reedit I think, that be unleashed the demons and kept hearing other people complain from demons attacks on adventure mode

[Dunamisdeos]

I don't think its possible to cage a demon. My tactics will be using raising bridges and such to ferret them about some tunnels into a general storage area or two.

Pretty sure you can cage anything with cave fall dust.

Demons are immune to stunning. They're not webimmune though, so you could technically get one with a webbed cage trap.

Oh, I thought they were webimmune. That will make things easier if I can catch a GCS.

[PatrikLundell]

Web slinging clowns are web immune, just like web slinging FBs/Titans are web immune, but the others aren't.

[Fleeting Frames]

Oh yeah, if you get the demon off-site, make sure it has killed few named pets or something first to earn a name and become historical figure.

[EuphoriaToRegret]

This also seems like a really interesting "guard dog" idea. I'll definitely have to try it once I get my hands on some web slingers...

Build a fort with no access to the surface and 'carefully' release a ton of clowns, since I'm not sure how long demons stay in the area, I can't really tell how effective this would be... Has anyone tried this before? Are the clowns you get from the center of the candy spiral different than the ones who simply wander the circus? 

Hell, even if they do wander off the map, that would make for some interesting legends logs to look up years later.
