Sandlion fortress?
« on: April 13, 2009, 11:28:18 am »
Anyone ever thought about building a sandlion fortress/trap?

(you know that animal that sucks smaller things into a quicksand-like opening.

Basically like this;

normal land                                                            more boring wasteland
_____________________Bridgebridgebridgebridge_______________________________
                                  \                             /
                                    \                          /
                                      \                       /
                                        \                   /
                                         \                 /
                                     (various dead devices)
                                        (Chop chop chop)
                                            |          |
                                            |          |
           ____________________ |          |_________________________
          |
          |
          |
          |            The actual fort here;                   
          |            It lives only from the things it can "get" by using the "trap/mouth"
          |
          |_________________________________________________________

Alternativly it could just be a trap;

                                  \                             /
                                    \                          /
                                      \                       /
                                        \                   /
                                         \                 /
                                          |               |
                                          |              |

I did the "trap" design

                                  \                             /
                                    \                          /
                                      \                       /
                                        \                   /
                                         \                 /
                                          |               |
                                          |               |
                                          |Spiders      |

useing GCS that i moded to be "buyable" as tamed animals. I droped 10 of them in there (I use orc mod, so 30+ orcs arrive regulary) and they seem to be getting legendary stats without fighting - they have "can learn", but no "can speak", but still gain Comidiean skill and so on like crazy.

[COMMON_DOMESTIC] is what your searching for I think.

They cost roughly 1200 btw.

My spiders now have names, after eating the first orc siege. They seem very bussy with themself. I am trying to catch wildlife to feed to them atm.

Oh and webs keep shoting out of the "trap".

I think you might have to, due to the nature of adding thingsinto raws doesn't tend to take place easily.

This is Dwarf Fortress! If we can chuck magma at innocent wildlife, we can do ANYTHING!

It was at this point that I realised that dwarves are actually the essence of chaos. What else can make perpetual motion machines, recursive statues with more building materials than the average tower and has such a short attention span that a damn fine chair can off-set the death of their entire family.
