No troll is an island
« on: November 18, 2011, 09:42:35 pm »

After my last siege, the siege tag wasn't going away even though it seemed as though I had killed all the invaders.  So I check out the units menu and discover one last troll - somehow stranded on a single tile of land in the middle of a lake (4-5 water tiles on all sides).  I had no idea how he got there, and he clearly had no idea how to get off.  My first thought - send in the marksdwarves! Unfortunately they won't accept a kill order if they can't path to it.  So now I've set up a ballista aimed at him and lob a giant arrow at him whenever I'm bored. He's been there for about a year now - he even hung out through later sieges.

You have to station the marksdwarves if you want them to attack it.

DON"T KILL HIM
Make a chute and drop tropical drinks on him to simulate his homevillage.

Normally I would suggest firing squad or a healthy dose of Necro910, but you should do the above for the amount of pure win. Bonus points if you somehow mod in sunglasses and drop them in.
