Okay, starting my year now.

[Derpy Dev]

Okay, starting my year now.

Good luck!

[Puppyguard]

I loaded up the save and a few days later these guys came along.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Later I was barraged by petitions.

One of the newcomers had a bit of too much booze and started a fist fight with a bard.
It did not end well. See for yourself.

Ouch...

Here I have created a device to capture wingless forgotten beasts as trophies.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

By sealing the entrance to the caverns but leaving one open, the beast is forced to go up that way.
It finds a grate which it mercilessly attacks.
As soon as it begins to attack the grate, we pull a lever destroying the support underneath the beast, causing it to plunge into the pit, forever a trophy. It *is* possible to use this trap multiple times as long as you reset it, but there can only be one beast because of its usage of falling floors. (the first beast would be squished by the floor)

I'm about three months in.

[Derpy Dev]

An FB trap... good job with that!

Remember that the FB that got in got in because it entered the map three inches from the place where the fortress connects to the cavern.

[zazq]

does the cave-in trap deconstruct cage traps under it? or can we cage the beasts and release them other places? 

in a related note, if a building destroyer destroyed a built cage full of cats, does it release the cats?

i'm a big foggy on the mechanics of the forgotten beast catching cave in trap.  can i get a detailed thing?

Oh you can't capture an FB in a cage trap using cave ins. They don't fall unconcious. I thought the goal of this trap was to crush and kill the FB, not obtain.

I don't know about the cat question... usually when an FB shows up I think, "Oh darn," not, "Better shove it in a room full of cats."

Still a bit confused, but I can just look at the save when you are done with your turn.

[zazq]

ok there's a hole in which the FB falls into.  there's a building that's the lure, surrounded by walls/channels such that there is only 1 place for the FB to stand to smash the building.  there's a support holding up a constructed floor below that 1 place.  but i don't understand the diagonal reference, or the actual setup of the 0z layer stuff.  wouldn't you want a 3x3 pit?

P P P

then have the building at one side and the support at the other?

so the FB stands on the support, then you make it go away?

[Puppyguard]

I have decided we have too many troglodytes and not enough cages.
Instead of wasting valuable wood I simply freed up the existing cages with a chute to magma.

Then a forgotten beast and a titan attacked within a day of each other.

The FB actually harmed itself with its own extract.

After that the undead came.

Good thing for me it happened on the last day of my year.

[Derpy Dev]

Wait what was that about the Titan?

Oh well. MrLurkety's turn now. Have fun with the zombies.

[zazq]

i didn't lower the requirements for attacks in creation.  Its surprising that everything is coming to visit so early.  We're gonna run the world out of megas.

I can't make it right now.

Hopefully I'll be able to start Wednesday, that OK?
