Fortress Defense Mod... what if...
« on: April 05, 2011, 06:46:06 pm »

Some time ago i went thinking... what would happen if i wall off the bluesteel spire and leave one miner dwarf on the other side to (with the blue vein) mine all the way up to the surface... and breach the vein.

Would the doods i let out go fight the incoming sieges or would they just chill out and form a unspoken alliance with the invaders like Boatsmurdered elephants?

Probably kill everyone. Then kick down the door, and rape all of your beards.

Then how do they do any killing/raping if all they can get to is the sole unlucky miner?

What if your entire fortress is that one miner?

By killing dwarven caravans which will cause ghosts to spawn which will then rape you by proxy for them. This assumes you cannot get any more stone because your one miner was all there was and you atomsmashed all the rocks you used to have and you built all your walls and workshops out of blocks.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

If we're using mods, just get rid of the dwarven caravan's ACTIVE_SEASON tag so they don't come and make ghosts.

As for the experiment, it would work; demons kill everyone.

And probably lag the hell out of your fort.
