cave in machine?
« on: July 03, 2010, 07:23:04 pm »

Those elves are annoying me and I want to start a seige with them


all seizing attemps have failed, Could I just do what I did with a tower? Like make a bunch of updown stairways near my trade depot then made a floor abmove my depot then make a support and channel it out? then when those hippies come would it be possible to cave it in that way?

Easier would be to use a support since you can link it to a lever and just pull it when the elves are underneath

Sorrey, typed it wrong, but thats what I am doing ATM would the depot be destroyed and would the elves die or would the depot protect them?

Quickest way I have noticed to piss the elves off: Flood the outside with magma, then cut all the tree's down.

Yeah, they get more angry over cutting trees down than they do over murdering the entire trade caravan

which is curious since they cut down trees for use in their trade caravans.

The title got me thinking as to a way to make an automatic cave in trap that reloads itself.

I'm thinking a iron retracting bridge with buaxite mechanisms, with two pumps that put in magma and water in that order. Then drops it. A dwarven water logic system may be required though...

Nah, that wood all came from trees that died of natural causes.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

Actually, Elves use their magic to get wood from trees without hurting them. It's a well-documented phenomenon.
