the 10/10 weapon traps are too uber-overpowered , so why not introduce the troublematic trap disablers? they disable your traps , meaning ambushes and armies can just pass through , seriously , with a 20x3 field full of 10/10 weapon traps , the armies can't even pass , making saboteurs more intresting and "Fun" , they , of course , could have a chance of activating the trap they are disabling

Big siege update is coming, we should probably see what comes out of that. We might have goblins using siege ladders for all we know, which makes trap fields pretty ineffective all the sudden.

Even better, they could change traps so that they small have chance to trigger on your dwarves.

Cue in entrance-hall massacre.

The idea of enemies disabling your traps has come up many times:

Please try to ensure that the discussion here is not wholly redundant with the above discussions.  Also, please search Suggestions before posting.

To be fair, search is really hard to use well, and I've started threads that everyone was bored of before I learned to play DF, even after trying really hard to find similar stuff in the archives.

I hope trap-disabling becomes available both for fortress and adventure mode.  I'd like to see adventurer character creation involve tags, too.  Like making a dude in GURPS, you could spend a few points on [trAP AVOID] and put some into axedwarfship and then spend a bunch on [NOFEAR] or whatever.  Could be super rad.

They're medieval traps, not futuristic identification based turrets.  Your dwarves can avoid them because they know where the traps are and how they're triggered.

Better solution is that they effectively destroy yours and set their own. You can keep them out...well....they can keep you in!

The saboteur could then simply move the triggers a little bit to the left, so that prior knowledge of them is no longer an aid, but a disadvantage.
