So, recently, I got tired of my Broker. The most USELESS Dwarf in the fortress, ever. Anyways, since I keep having Fun because I don't usually start my brewing industry until the second Spring, but can't buy booze from the traders because of Mr. Broker. (Run-On Sentence ftw) The fortress dies of dehydration after the ponds and rivers freeze, and I lose. Since I cannot control my broker, I have a new goal.
Take what I want, when I want it.
Goal: Kill the caravan without them getting angry.
How?: Flood Trap. They can't prove anything, and I get their stuff.
The way I've designed it, is that the caravan will go through an underground corridor, the entrance to which is a series of ramps going down into the depths of the Earth. They will then cross a drawbridge (Not retracted), and into a room with a hole in the top. That room will contain the trade depot. The caravan will then watch in horror as the bridge will raise, revealing a 5z deep pit. Water shall flow through the ceiling (Through the ceiling because otherwise there is a chance they can swim out), wash them and their goods into the pit, and drown. Then my dwarves shall drain the pit through a floodgate with grates around it (So items shall not go through), and collect their things.
Not sure anyone will understand that, and I can't draw or make schematics in the menu for-
!!CODE!!
So I hope you can bear with me. But yeah, what do you think?
