Pinning an opponent?
« on: April 26, 2011, 03:21:39 pm »

Is there any way at all to floor an opponent and hold them there? Preferably immobile?

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.
Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Wrestling prevents the opponent from being able to move and dodge around, and standing on top of them while they're on the ground prevents them from being able to stand up.  Figure out a way to combine the two and you're golden.

Ah, yes, I thought something was amiss. Now I see. There's not enough terrible things in the lakes.

standing on top of them
This was pretty much the final goal, thanks.

Well, if you snap their wrists and knees, they won't do much.

Doing a takedown is easy, but I can't find any way to actually move on top of an opponent who's been knocked prone. alt+direction didn't work. If you figure something out, please post.

You can often dodge or jump on top of people if that helps... At least I think you can? I know I've definitely been on top of people I'd knocked down.

Maybe you could just happen to dodge on top of a prone opponent, then grab them so they can't move, but I can't find a way to intentionally move on top of a prone enemy. alt+direction just causes an attack.

I actually tried standing on a hill with a bogeyman on a ramp the z-level below, doing a takedown/throw on the bogeyman from the z-level above, then using alt+direction to move into the open space above the bogeyman causing the adventurer to fall onto the same tile as the prone bogeyman.

While it makes a great WWF move, falling a z-level caused the adventurer to become prone and I was unable to stand up before the bogeyman did.

So I can't find any reliable way to do this....

You need the charge attack to move on top of them.
