I found happy fun stuff by accident.
Suddenly thousands of demons popped out.
Is there a way to stop them?

[Urist Imiknorris]

You basically don't unless you have a bunch of well-equipped and well-trained soldiers, or a massive cave-in bomb ready beforehand.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

have FUN
tell us of your exploits

[elpizo]

you could build wall , IF YOUR WORKERS CAN LIVE TO MAKE EM!

[Urist Imiknorris]

That will technically stop them, but they'll murder your framerate until you kill them.

[jaxy15]

So, all I have to do is make a wall, carve fortifications, make enough room for a ballista, and shoot them with iron arrows until they die?
Sounds simple enough.

[Urist Imiknorris]

The ones made of steam (and other gaseous materials) will be able to go through your fortifications. Don't worry too much about those - they die in a couple of hits due to being made of gases.

[Areyar]

Flying demons can go over walls though, unless you make sure it is airtight. :/

[Urist Imiknorris]

And all those demons that are trying to kill you? They all can fly.

[elpizo]

you can actually make a bunch of upright spears, they avoid normal traps but not spears, if you can trap them in a room full of upright spears and spikes you should be able to kill em

[SpiralDimentia]

Run. Just run and don't look back. When your legs are too tired to carry you, keep running, and never stop.

You will never be safe.

[Davichococat]

You can try what I do in these times. Assign everyone to squads and then hope they live to rebuild the fort.

Last time I tried this with a cyclops and 39 people only 4 died.

Let's just hope you have 39.000 people now.

Build fortifications with no way over them.  I just tried this and the demons don't path through.  They don't even try to attack your dwarves through the fortifications (maybe they have to be elites?) and wont use their gas/flames/boiling extract/etc attacks that otherwise waft through.  Then make lots and lots of ammo, station your marksdwarves, and have them a shooting gallery at very low fps.

I did have one guy catch on fire from a flame demon.  I'm not sure how that happened, but it wasn't a big cloud, just an emanation of flames right around the demon who happened to be standing right next to the fortification.  I think he bursts into flames either periodically or when struck.

Coincidentally, 150 goblins were instantly slaughtered in this event.  It was a veritable orgy of pain, vomiting, retching, bleeding, flames, and mangled bones and bodies thrown all over the place.  It was glorious.

Don't suppose you happened to record that?

[Arekis]

This was a test, really, to see if 150 would do anything.  The answer turned out to be 'no'.  I was originally planning a lot more participants (in the several hundred range, up to 500), but I stopped getting sieges and ambushes...  I made a copy of the save before the breach, so I can definitely record it.
