If CatalystParadox fused with us, even the demons in Hell would fear our might lunacy.

I assure you that my silence of late is to be taken as ominous.

Speaking on behalf of the realm of Hell, I must say that I'm very disappointed in your coherent and sane fortress.  Hell will settle for nothing less than a fort of maddwarves beating eachother to death with a sock in one hand, and fending of demons with a copper pick in the other as they argue over booze, how to kill elves, and what sort of superweapon they should build.

[Mego]

Aussie, you of all people should know what I have planned.

Hellcannon is not a misnomer.

[Reudh]

From the diary of Reudh II - Stonecrafter of Hellcannon

...Wow, it's been quiet around here.

[ThatAussieGuy]

A function Hellcannon would be a one-shot weapon, Mego.  You'd need an isolated passage down from the surface to one of the adamantine spires, right down to the fatal digging point (Or suspend a block over it controlled by a lever).  Pop the seal and out fly the demons to attack things on the surface.  Preferably with the fortress sealed tight.

[Dark_T_Zeratul]

New overseer, less than ten turns before me... Think I'll take a chance at a redwarfing.

Vegdrasil - Something very dwarf-like - Dark Templar - Let me know what my profession is before the dwarfing, please.

Did this get missed? Or did I just get dwarfed and then immediately killed?

....Unless you separated the demons into little clumps somehow. Then you might get....4-10 shots. Maybe more....depends how many demons you get and how well they could be split up....maybe use cave-ins to seal them into small rooms, and sacrifice a dwarf with each shot to let them into the "barrel"?

Wouldn't work.  When I built the Checkerboard, I learned that if you seal the demons off for too long, (as I did when trying to prevent the necessary sacrifice of a masondwarf) they ignore the "GO DIRECT TO SURFACE" programing for regular creature code.

[Archereon]

You could wall off hell like Aussie did, then create a designated area where demons can spawn and use a trail of chained cats (or nobles) to lead the demons to the barrel chamber, which is superpressurized with water and used to launch the horrors of the underworld at elves.

Demons ignore water flow (I THINK) and they'll just sit on the map edge in the designated spawn area rather than wandering around Hell/the tunnel built from said spawn area to where you want them.

[kisame12794]

Uhhhh how do we get rid of the demons after firing?

[rridgway]

They'll eventually leave the map similar to animals, right?

[Strategia]

They'll eventually leave the map similar to animals, right?

So Battlefailed unleashed Stuzang upon this dimension, Failcannon weakened reality further, and now you propose Hellcannon unleash the numberless demon hordes on the world?

What could possibly go wrong?

[Ieb]

Probably that we run out of horrors to unleash onto the world, get bored and that's the end of it.

[Reudh]

When I unsealed HFS they all pathed up the spire and all settled at the sealed point- when unsealed only the ones at the front flew/walked out. That was still a rather large number though. I imagine they'd need masses of bait for it to work, be it dwarves, elves, whatever.
