If your have loads of iron on your map, start one-upping children cartoons by firing only anvils!
I love this idea.

Well apart from firing HFS we also need to fire magma. Hence magma should be collectable in buckets or something. That'd teach those goblins, and handily remove their cow leather thongs in the process making post battle clean up much quicker and easier.

Also the magma bucket just sounds epic - i dont even care if you cant do anything with it .

JUST LET THERE BE MAGMA BUCKETS!!! ;D

Catapults that throw ballista ammunition.
There is something amusingly deviant about this idea... I really hope that ballistas are already calculating weight properly. I don't think Toady will include my idea if bone arrows do the same damage as a chunk of HFS. However, there should be nothing wrong with Throw-Anything catapults otherwise. Hell, it's not like they're accurate in the first place.

I have cause for optimism, though. I would think that the necessary code already exists based on the fact that Hammerers do more damage to a creature based on force, mass, acceleration, something like that.
