Tired of Unseemly Cat populations messing up your fortress? Don't feel that you should waste your time and effort in defense against the Goblin hordes? Well then, my friends, the Cat Pit is for you!

Dig a nice, large deep pit at the entrance of your fortress. Then, using the Zone Designation, mark the Area as a pit. Then, have all the errrant cats and kittens thrown into the pit. 20 is often a good number, but make sure you have cats of both genders. Then, build a bridge over the pig (Make sure its retractable!) and then link the bridge to a lever. When the Goblinoid hordes come to kill your men and rape your women, wait till they're standing on the bridge, and then drop them into a pit of swarming, bloodthirsty cats!

For extra fun, remove the [MAXAGE] tag, and add [CAN_LEARN][NO_EAT][NO_DRINK] tags to your cat raw files for Ageless, Legendary Beasts of Legend!

[Tibbles]

Also, in case you've forgotten, press 'P' while in Zones mode to chuck errant cats and kittens into your pit of death!

And watch the cats adopt every dwarf who goes to throw one in and watch those dwarves tantrum as the cats die. You don't need the food and drink tags, but [FIREBREATH] or [WEBSPINNER],[THICKWEB] would be fun.

Owned animals can't be thrown into designated pits, nor can they use their diabolical mind powers to dominate the stalwart Dwarves doing the 'Hauling'.

Hmmm, is this combinable with the cats dieing?
maybe explode?   

[Pojodan]

I'd like to mod cats so that any time two of them come into contact a very large explosion is produced.  Thus, an entrance corridor lined with cat cages tied to a series of levers would put a quick, a very messy, end to any gobbo seiges.

Whoa... that's... rather scary XD

[MC Dirty]

Scary indeed, but impossible.
But you can let them explode after death. Just make them drop a custom stone with a low ignition point (I guess) when they die.

Exactly that.

Wh00t, custom explosion cats

[Shurikane]

Cat Legion.

FOR THEY ARE MANY!

In fact, we could do a whole concept based around cats that multiply in horrific manners to better overwhelm their adversaries.  Female cat turns around and literally shoots kitties that gnaw and bite at goblins, and if you kill a mother, she explodes into a bunch of tiny little kitlets.

Oh yes, and a single drop of seed from a male cat is enough for a female to reproduce entire litters of herself for the rest of her life, essentially giving birth on a constant basis like a queen ant.

And if a dwarf eats cat meat, he gets infected with miniature cats in his bloodstream, which do pretty much the same job as a tapeworm on steroids.  Result: dwarf is constantly hungry.  So he eats all the time.  And hey, know what's stockpiled in abundance in the fort?  Well waddya know!  CAT MEAT!



MOD TIME!  Anybody got a supercomputer we could use to recreate that nightmare?

[Angellus]

haha, I'm afraid you'll have to knock on NASA's door for that one XD

BOOMER!

[Wolfius]

Talk about hot Cat on Goblin action! 





 

[Footkerchief]

You know, a moat full of cats is possibly the best idea I've ever read on here.  I always have them thrown into the moat anyway, so why not let them BE the moat?

What did you add to the raws? I'd really like to know
