[Halo]

The first time your weapon trap accidentally kills a friendly, you feel like a bad sort of person.

Did you know friendlies are immune to weapon traps?

Not if they get knocked out on top of a trap

Hi!

The first time your weapon trap accidentally kills a friendly, you feel like a bad sort of person. :(

Did you know friendlies are immune to weapon traps?

Not if they get knocked out on top of a trap

Which will not happen if you have enough weapon traps and building destroyer traps to make sure that no hostile gets even to see your dwarves alive :) :) :) :)

Well then. It seems my amazing goblins-shredding ballista hall didn't work. I tried again, and this time, the gobbies went down the ramps, and my siege operators were poised for the attack. I told all the ballistae to fire at will and...

...Not much happened. My [speed:0] dwarves went through 30 bolts in less than a minute, and most of the damn things fell less than ten squares away from the ballistae. All I managed to do was to bruise one gobbo who was more eager to run into the arrows than the others. The wiki has, for the first time, let me down. :-(

I've had a catapult operating nonstop for awhile, funnily, one of my doctors is now my best siege operator.

speed 0? just recruit the miners, assign each one a pick, and voila! hole-punched goblins! after all, they get 30 or so turns for every gobbo one.

Even Speed 0 dwarves can be killed easily by a group of goblins.  It just takes one hit without armor and even though your dwarf has 30 times the turns, they're all spent stunned.

I always build a ballista at the end of a 1 x 10 passageway. the siege operator should be skilled enough, though. I don't want those gobbies to sieze my operator before even one arrow is launched.

Did you remember to forge some tips for the ballista bolts?

Remember that everything is made of a material now, and wooden ballista bolts glance off of clothing.

Also try testing your death corridors before using them.
