SPOILERS Clearing out the unclearable
« on: April 09, 2010, 03:04:08 pm »

So many of you may have breached hell by now, but what are you going to do with it? Demons flying everywhere and you don't want dwarvern blood on your hands. Ive thought of a way to fix that with good ol dwarvern engineering. Flooding hell. Sure your framerate might drop but imagine all the trouble it would save. Using the power of life, to kill death itself. Though pumping all the water out will be hell it would make things alot easier in the long run. My plan is to find the magma sea and use my river up top to slowly cool the magma and then dig it out, and repeat until hell is found. Im not sure if they still have aquatic demons but those would be easy to take care of with the millitary.

Would kinda suck if it turns out they can swim.

I bet they can.  The obvious solution is to seal with magma.

I think they can all swim now. Am not sure, though. At least in magma, they all can.

the only problem with that would be that the demons would still be there, maybe you could divert a channel that they would have to swim through and then trap them, and then flood that channel with magma trapping them in obsidian

Wouldn't the water just drain out the sides?

It probably would. We're going to have to use dwarf power to conquer hell.

Magma!

Magma does not drain off the edge of the map in previous versions, including 40D. I haven't tested it in the new version, but its a worth a shot.



Of course if they're magma immune they'll just swim up to you through the magma and you'll now have magma coated demons setting your dwarves on fire.  :(

obviously the solution is to cast it in obsidian and dig out your own fort down there with masterwork engravings on all the walls

I don't know if you can get through to hell from anywhere but the tubes or the temple, even if you could empty the magma sea - the semi-molten rock layers extend below the seas themselves.

That said, if you did manage to flood Hell with magma, I would give you a high-five.

I'm pretty sure the glowing pits down there act as chasms, but I may be wrong.
