Technology Ideas.
« on: April 14, 2009, 08:10:24 pm »

For new weapons/ideas for fortresses traps.

E.G

Flaming Wood-a-pault: Magma delivered over bridge over wood stockpile over 'nother bridge. When lever is pulled, higher bridge falls, allowing magma on wood, water pushes a pressure pad that allows for a delayed bridge catapault.

Kitten Trap: Place cat stockpile over bridge. Lift bridge to drop kittens to room below, then open floodgate. :D

Bunker: Lock Dwarf in room. Put prepared food and drink stockpile on 1*2 bridge above. Lift bridge to drop food down a z-level into bunker.

Or try FUBAR! The best chocolate bar ever!
And you can't eat them, either, sadly. Even though it'd make sieges so much more fun; dwarves lining the walls, drooling and carrying sharp knives and forks, ready for the upcoming meals.

How about a big smelly butt

You mean a large alcohol stockpile with rotting stuff producing miasma in it? Interesting, but it doesn't sound very useful.

I was thinking more 'psychological warfare'.
If anything else, how hard would the goblins laugh when your fortress entrance is a huge ass?

So you take a ass, train it with wounded gobos, later unwounded ones and small wild animals until it becomes legendary and named and then use it as defense?

Genius.

Don't forget to make it some masterwork (or even artifact) addamantine armor!

Lol, I'm so going to make ass armor :P

It's always a good idea to cover your ass.

OT: I saw someone who was trying to design a "Jaguar Pounce" trap.  Maybe that would work for you?  It involves jaguars and a bridge...  I think?

the funniest trap would be to put a bridge over a passage and place many many elves on it and pull the lever, look at all the elves fly and to rain upon the enemies. i dont know how this would help defend youre fort but it sounds like a fun way to kill off those last elves.

*Bonus* drop it around 20z levels above the enemies.
