AIR MINE

[/u][/color][/size]

Hello, are you having problems defeating those creatures that your dwarves can not do? Then this is the perfect place for you!

I have developed a method on how to destroy anything with just about anything (that you can build things with)

How does this "Air mine" work?
Well, first off, you need some building materials. anything will do, wood, raw glass, stone, metal. Another thing you will need are 2 mechanisms. Room because this Air,mine spreads a bit (depending on how far you develop it)
If you have that already then you are almost done!
Next, you need to build a support on the ground(s)

After that, you need to be able to build floors ontop of the support (b)(C)(f)

Finally, attach a lever to the support, when something comes by and you want to kill it, PULL THE LEVER!


NOTE: if you build stairs or ramps to build floor ontop of the support, remove the stairs or ramp first! VERY IMPORTANT

I do not know if a building destroyer will just destroy the support or not, but if you guys can see if a building destroyer destroys them itself, it would help.

I came up with this method when my miner got caved in, and died. and i remembered, IT CAN KILL ANYTHING

[Derakon]

Yeah, this is a standard cave-in trap. What's it doing in Suggestions?

[Meanmelter]

a suggestion for people who have problems killing people, sorry if this is the wrong spot, but i am not good at narrowing the perfect spot for topics

[Lord Shonus]

The suggestions forum is for things that you think Toady should add to the game. This should go in Dwarf Mode discussion.

[Meanmelter]

is it possible to move this thread quickly?

[darkrider2]

explodes. and it would work better with a pressure plate ^_^.

and move the thread.

Every time I try it, the abyssmal quality of my mechanisms allows the target to get out of range before the trap is sprung, but it often gets part of his squad.  Plus I tend to get careless and accidentally put the Tax Collector's apartment one z-level below the trap, resulting in hilarity.

Nice tileset, by the way.  I like the stairs.

yeah the original poster can move the thread if they want.  There is a button at the bottom for them to use.

thats nothing, i pulled it on an entire squad of champion macedwarves because of my stupidity, though they did get the most holy and biggest graves i ever seen (20x20 graves with like a billion statues lol)

I prefer linking the support to a pressure plate directly underneath the floors. That way, it kills any creature that steps on it (excluding [trAPAVOID] critters like kobolds). This variant is, in fact, described on the Wiki - see "Land mine".

I prefer to use single tiles of floor, just to knock people out.

darn, this is already been in the wiki, and to think i accualy designed a method never used before.

It's okay, dude.  At least you're not being indignant about it.  Lurk around the forums and browse the wiki some more.  From the sound of it you really enjoy the game and can be innovative.  That's really all that's required to play.

(Though a good sense of humor helps, too.)

nahh im only good when it envolves millitary tactics, when i get over 60 dwarves i struggle and everyone starts dying because i forget to check on other things than my millitary (3/4 of my dwarves are millitary anyway)
