Activate 3/4ths of your entire population and station them in the mandatory magma drowning chamber. Enjoy ensuing tantrum spiral until it stops, and then send 3/4ths of the remainder into the water chamber. That should definitely kill em all.

Remove whatever impenetrable defenses you have - traps, floodgates, drawbridges, whatever. The only thing between goblins and your civilians should be a badass military.

Weed the weak ones out of the military - only a small hardcore of Spartan-quality warriors. Everyone else goes on weaving or stonecrafting or cheesemaking.

Wait till the sieges get big enough.

???

Profit!

Yeah, just let the goblins into your fort with a welcome mat. Remove any square miles of traps, lower your draw bridge, and let the dorfs do battle in the depths of your fortress.

Never mobilize your army, just let them duke it out "off-duty" just keep up this policy for every seige untill everyone is splattered on the wall, all your dorfs are dead from enemy action or tantrum spirals.

Just to further ensure the doom of your fortress, stop booze production all together. LEt them drink from the well.

Military sorts make an obscene amount of friends, and tantrum sprials are certain to occur.

Well consider, Military dorfs spend all their time severing limbs off sparring with each other, and so get a lot of talking done.

And thus did the dream of dwarven antigravity fade away, not with a massive explosion or a flood of magma, but with a whimper.

I'm going to be depressed all day now.

Lock the front door.

Forever.

See how long you can keep them alive without ever going to the surface, or allowing traders to come in to visit.


You think this will be easy.

It will not be.

I could do this, except lock off the food stockpile/underground river/farms, because if I didn't not one dwarf would die.

Lock the front door, while everyone's outside.  Watch as they struggle for survival by beating each other to death and chasing after vermin.

I might do this.  :D

My military off-duty could probably kill a couple sieges, and I don't even have a well.  :P

Here are also some other ways I've destroyed my fortresses: collasping one of my "sky" fortresses, final riots that were in last one, and dropping about 50 dwarves off a bridge in another one.

I also remember digging into demon pits and letting my dwarves try (Fail) to defend it, then going back in in adventure mode and throwing a spirit of fire into a pool of water.

(My "front door" is actually a gold bridge that's over a magma pipe)

I like that particular method of satiating mayors mandates that you demonstrate in the first vid.

Build random spikes and pressure plates all over the place.   Wait for the pain.

I have two ideas for you. At the next siege, conscript everyone as an unarmoured wrestler and just rush the goblins, or try to flood everything above your fort, then open one door and see how your dwarves react.

Dwarves? Reacting to flooding? Don't be silly.

This is why i give dogs and cats firebreath, so things stay interesting. It doesn't get boring watching your dwarves run about on fire because a dog decided to try to burn a kobold to death. Plus it's even more fun when you have tons of water to work with (3/7 deep water throughout the fort).

Use some Ender Goblins. That should do the trick...
