Hahahaha...

What was supposed to start as a very (very very) long term -yet simple- project has ended up destroying my fort for the most part. I still can't get the damn mountain (that I have since (for the most part) mined out) to collapse, but I have gotten plenty of PARTS of it to collapse, resulting in every miner I have being either killed or bed ridden for the most part.

Damn this game is cruel and unforgiving, but I've never laughed harder. Not sure if it makes a difference, but I had a dwarf fall on another dwarf, possibly killing him. One dwarf fell due to a cave-in and fell right into my (not-yet-filled) mote two z-levels down, and I think he survived. Then moments later another dwarf fell due to another cave-in and landed in the same square as him, now only one is alive. XD

Anyway, I am giving up on that fort, every single method I try seems to either fail to get rid of the mountain, or cause a whole bunch of cave-ins.

Maybe... maybe I'll find some flatlands instead of trying to make them myself. This mountain destroying obviously isn't my forte. I've probably had more fail on this one project than I have in every failed fort before it.

But it held some good laughs, so all is good.

Actually, if a unit falls on another unit, the falling unit doesn't take falling damage and the falled-on unit is likewise unharmed. You could protect a Bronze Colossus from a 20-Z-level drop with a bed of kittens.
