I just had the most ridiculous idea, but it will only work if I'm right about this.

Will magma-immune creatures still get pushed by magma currents?

Yes.  All currents push things.  I think magma flows more slowly, though.

Also, ninja'd.

[Mego]

for that to work, youde have to have an efficient multi magma sea feed and to build the pump stack up to a few z levels above the exit hole, so the pressure is at that Z level and erupts both magma and deamons.

That won't be a problem, will it?

That will work. My plan:

Spoiler: Hellcannon (click to show/hide)

1. Find the cotton candy tube. (done)
2. Create a tunnel on one level of the tube that leads to the outside.
3. Send a miner to breach the HFS, pumping magma down the tunnel as he goes.
4. Watch clowns come up and kill the miner, and continue up the tube.
5. Clowns get swept down the tunnel by the magma and outside.
6. Realize that a Hellcannon has just been made.

Won't the Fun people flying ability interfere with that?

That's what Plan B is for.

Mego, I think we all know that this plays whenever bad things happen in dwarf fortress. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC4zgfVj-K4

Please I want that Ogrin III and all his future generations are renamed to Eye poker, and put them all on the army as spear dorfs.

[Mego]

Dorfing list has been updated. I'll read through Strategia's update more carefully later so I can figure out who died.

[Darvi]

He made a list with survivors. Just remove anybody who's not on it.

I'll do that in a little bit. I'm playing video games right now.

I've resigned myself to the fact that the fortress probably won't survive till my turn.

Oh, it will. Just barely and still soil-stuck, but it will.

It will. We have the powers of the supernatural on our side.

Battlefailed was doomed to have malfunctioning super-weapons.

Failcannon was doomed to have such complex tunnels it screwed up with pathfinding

Hellcannon is doomed to stay in the soil layer, squeezed between hoofed skeletal monstrosities above and skull-biting monstrosities below.


Go Hellcannon!

_{I still think it should be callled Failhell...}

Failhell can be Battlefailed the Fourth, if there's enough interest for that. Kinda makes the names cyclic. BattleFAILed -> FailCANNON -> HELLcannon -> FAILhell -> Battlefailed.

[Darvi]

Fund it!

[The Master]

Why not hellBATTLE?

[Darvi]

Battlehell?
