chain a kitten at the bottom (and ensure it can't move with doors/walls or whatever) and you consistently get a successful landing....
Many have thought to weaponise this with floor hatches and fully equiped dorfs stationed far far above the kitten waiting for the lever pull...

Oh god! An Axedorf rapid deployment chute! That is awesome - got a barracks directly above my gatehouse and i've got animals chained up below - i'm so doing this. Only problem I see is making the military dofs stand on exactly the right spot. Would a  1x1 burrow work?

Dwarven ODST had been proposed but I think it's been abandoned since there's no reliable way to deploy them.

Phhhhtttt Who needs reliability when you got air dropping dwarfs  I'm getting right on this as soon as my magma fortress is done

A single tile burrow on a hatch linked to a lever that another dwarf could pull would likely work perfectly.

Would a squad of 5 survive the drop through a single chute? or does the poor noble kitty just work for one dorf? I guess !!Science!! will tell...

I think that kittentrampolines are one time use.

But so long as the first dwarf remains in position, he'll catch the fall of everyone else. So this means you better have a means of making sure your dwarf stays in that position. Also, units get stunned when they land like this, so make sure you aren't doing this directly into hostiles.

[blizzerd]

the dwarf probably was standing on another animal and jumped off the last few seconds so he landed safely

Doh, there goes my Dwarf+Axe murder-hole idea.

[Urist Imiknorris]

You could deploy them into a 5x5 hole, with ramps along the outside, drawbridges on the inner eight tiles, and a kitten in the center:

z-1

z0

+++++++

Then drop the dwarves and lower the bridges when they're all in position.

I think ill just have some kind of ramp+drawbridge setup that ill deploy when there are enemies at the gate. An axedwarf squad jumping in through the ceiling would be brilliant though.
