Excavated ice?

You can build stuff with the "water" stones. I never tried to build an ice bridge atom-smasher, but that might work. Dropping an ice floor or ice wall on someone's head would kill them.

Also ice-fall traps?

[Remalle]

Can't you put mined out ice into a catapult anyways?

pillars of cotton candy. raw cotton candy still in the rock.

Collapse, catapult?

I am currently trying to weaponise a Noble. So far it requires a mod to give dwarves poisonous blood, a very high Z-level drop, and horizontal bars.

Burning lignite bins too maybe. And magma.

[antymattar]

Nobody has weaponised milk, glomeblight and honey. and ichor.

[Oliolli]

I think we can safley rule out anything that can be turned into !!anything!!.

[Tharwen]

We haven't weaponised the random growth of trees yet. There might be possible applications for a maze of thin corridors that kills lab rats by having random corridors get blocked by trees intermittently.

Air.  I'll bet no one has weaponized pure air yet.

The goblin would have survived the fall, had it not been for the expanse of air between him and the ground.

What? Goblins die even if you drop them through a vacuum!

[Jake]

Lag.

[rawrcakes]

Nobles.

I'm thinking specifically of dropping nobles from a good 10 z-levels up, and aiming it on elves / goblins / humans passing under. Would take a bit coordination, but since creatures falling on top of other creatures usually survive, it means that when you actually hit, you'll be able to recycle the ammunition!

... hmm, this actually sounds like a good way to deploy ones' army against the enemy.

Ocean waves could be weaponized, but I haven't seen it before, so it may fall under the "yet" category.

Has anyone weaponized the outdoor temperature? You could probably embark somewhere where attackers die of hypo- or hyperthermia.

Ocean waves can fill holes. As in, that pit full of nobles elves.

Yes, outdoor temperature has been used. It will kill your dwarves though, so it's a bad idea.

Yes, but I actually used it mostly against immigrants, diplomats and caravans. It was a combination of scorching air and rainfall, like in the good old 31.01 days. Became a bit boring though, and anyway, the game kept pulling a new diplomat and caravan out of its arse every year.

Couldn't you say that the diplomats were....

warm and steamy?
