Any mod for walls?
« on: May 10, 2011, 12:11:16 pm »

Hello gods of digging, I want find a mod which can be possible that enemy (or better a few class of monster, not everyone) destroy walls, maybe with a bit of work depending hardness of material.

Exists?

PD: Sorry for my poor language, but English isn't my mother tongue.

I don't think it's possible with the current version. I am not sure though.

You can create a custom "workshop" which has the appearance of a wall section but is not actually a wall.  Thus, any building destroyer will topple it the same as any other workshop, but it can still prevent people from walking through and will blend into the other walls.  It will not provide support to a floor above it though.

Your best bet is to wait for Toady to add it. I cant remember where the page was now, but he is definitely adding breakable walls and dig-able mountains for invaders. (Also ladders and siege engines at around the same time)

Workshops are a good start, but a soap wall would get as much defense as a steel one, and that is none.

EDIT: It was the official dev page  :-[      Just scroll to the very bottom for the siege stuff. http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev.html

You can't do that, but you can mod in more flying critters for goblins to ride. They'll go right over castle walls and cause havoc in courtyards, especially if they have bows.

this post has something about ladders

I have yet to play this mod though.

Also, I was thinking flying creatures for a brief moment would be ideal (i.e. to get around a wall, or possibly, only the ability to fly 1 / 4 movements?).  I don't think there's a way to mod this in tho.

Flying creatures work as mounts. In fact, goblins sometimes bring them in vanilla sieges. The only problem is that their pathfinding is bugged- they won't attempt to fly anywhere that they couldn't reach on foot.

Well, I missed the "future versions"... guess this guy realized later on it's not possible to mod in

The orc's battering rams (elephants) won't be able to reach your gate over water. Maybe in future versions, your enemies will bring along siege engines, ladders, towers and the like, but at the moment, if you want to increase the difficulty for yourself, you're going to have to set limits on your defences.
