Goblin somehow knocked into upper z-level, now no one can attack him...
« on: May 01, 2010, 12:14:29 pm »
...but he's able to interrupt all of my dwarves!  Gah!  If only crossbows worked!  I can't build a ramp, because he interrupts construction.  Is there any way to disable civilian fear so my guys can construct close enough for my soldiers to actually get to that pesky gobbo?

I wish, that would make life so much easier. Stiff upper lip masons!

Try getting at him from a z-level above him or digging toward him from the z-level he's on. Remember that channeling now creates a ramp between the z-levels so you might be able to make a ramp to the goblin from the z-level above him if there's another layer above him. Unless he's just floating in mid-air?

Just mod out the eyes in their raws, easy as that.

I think marksdwarves can shoot upwards. If they can, you now have a workaround for the marksdwarf training bug.

Never used Dwarf Therapist, mods or tilesets in all the years I've been playing.
I think Toady's confusing interface better simulates the experience of a bunch of disorganised drunken dwarves running a fort.

Reason I love this game #24: removing an entire race's eyes is a proper solution to a problem.

Why don't you try and see? (both should work)

They can, at reduced range. Oddly, they get the same range reduction shooting down.
The problem is, unless they've immigrated or started with Marksdwarf skills, they won't fire crossbows ever, they'll just bash with them.

Try building a platform a little distance away and build a ballista or catapult on it.

... Yes, the hugs are for everyone.  No stabbing, though.  Just hugs.

The fear radius of that stupid goblin was too much so I couldn't dig anywhere close to him.  I finally downloaded dfhack and dropped magma on him.  I usually don't like to cheat, but then again, my marksdwarves refuse to shoot.
