Hmm.  Something with webbing would most likely have a stronger effect on the warriors of Nist Akath, but not enough.  The only thing that would truly weaken them would be paralysis, and you have to land a hit in order for that t work.


Frankly, I think the only real option is a siege with plenty of bowmen.  Is there any way to duplicate creatures with the Companion?  If so, just add tons of goblins or humans or whatever to their forces, and play a rousing game of hold back the horde.

If that doesn't work, zombify them and try it again!

The easiest way might be to take over the captain's mind. When he starts swinging that cabinet against his fellow dwarves, the fortress will start crumbling.
Or maybe just a size 209348 damblock 2309482304 dragon. Perhaps the battle will last so long that it will gain the skills required to win during the fight?  :)

But what do I know?
Everything I say should be taken with atleast 1 tsp. of salt, and another liter of Dwarven Wine is recommended.

"I thought it was the size of the others!" said Vanon. "I guess it was just standing further away!"

One might think the dwarves of Nist Akath actually find dragon breath quite refreshing.

You're still producing one amazing story, Captain Mayday.

Also, reading the whole story at once makes it even more amazing.  :D

ah, i just had an idea, get the captain to stand at a chokepoint whilst dozens of axelords/hammerlords/etc come at him all at once, followed by a colossus with DAMblock of nearly 9000.

In regards to other potential plans, I discovered that I can in fact create a world, run a dwarf fortress, then swap to try to use goblins.
I thought it might be interesting to have a goblin fortress in future that will be destroyed by the heroes of Nist Akath.

Yeah, but first you'll have to get some real fighting into Nist Akath.

Besides what you're probably already considering, from your story (zombifying all the dead in Nist Akath), you could also try to melt the Captain's room while he's asleep.

Raise every single skelk that shows up on the unit list and see how they fare against the captain, bomrek and the colosus.

That won't cut it. There won't be enough, and they won't be able to do enough damage to even bruise any of them. In fact, the Titan is probably the weakest and most likely to die.

That said, the Titan is incredibly strong.

Can it even learn and improve his skills and attributes, or it is more like some tame animal?

Don't worry everyone, it looks to me like the captain will eventually die by being mobbed to death. (A lot of the stuff certainly seems to be pointing at zombie curse... and if they keep getting raised then eventually the captian will just be too tired to fight.)
