Defending the fortress
« on: October 31, 2007, 03:22:00 pm »
I've heard from a few people that titans are able to jump walls now, so I was thinking about it a bit and came up with this design:

When a titan comes around, a lever is pulled so the bridge goes up and the titan (hopefully) falls down into spikes/magma/a huge arena for your POW gladiators to be disposed of. Would this work?

Raising drawbridges will fling what ever is on them in a random direction. You want retractable drawbridges. Or hatches. Or have some floor tiles with their only connection be up to a support and knock the support.
When drawbridges fling things in the correct direction I'm planning on making a dwarf launcher to get the immigrants to my fort. Just pray the pond is full.
