Building Destroyer
« on: September 01, 2008, 08:41:51 am »
Has anyone tried to give a vermin creature building destroyer? What were the results? Also, has anyone tried to give a creature created by a reaction or a itemcorpse building destroyer? Because if either of those work it would be really scary since vermin can phase right through all sorts of things, and over channels, so if they had building destroyer, they could cause all sorts of problems.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

but what stops a starving dwarf from consuming a poltergeist when hungry?

Poking around with a DFParser.
Bodypart names, creatures names in one easily overviewable place.

Oh my new (old) picture?

Nothing? Besides, poltergeists are tasty.

You'll need an army on hungry "ghost busters" then :).

Poltergeists? The first thing I thought of was termites.

I don't think that a termite can destroy an iron floodgate :).

Much nastier is making a thief race, like kobolds, building destroyers. You'll be fine and playing along with your fortress, and then workshop after workshop will suddenly explode (it doesn't reveal the thief/destroyer). Very nasty.

They'd be adamantine termites, of course. :)

I wonder if [DEFENDER] would work on vermin.  Then adamantine termites would be a reality.

EDIT: Might be fun to matched their fixed temp to galactic core too.  Furious flaming feline whenever a cat kills one.

Urist McKitty is Blistering.

Urist McMason cancels build Iron Floodgate: dangerous terrain. (5/7 Adamantine Termite)

Urist the Adamantine Termite has been rather ecstatic lately, he lost several loved ones to mass kitty genocide, he toppled 7 magma smelters recently, he has set fire to 3 fortresses in his career.
