I would prefer Dwemer style moving chopper blades roving up and down corridors, Steam Centurions smashing gobbos and the statues hidden flamethrowers. Skyrim...it calls to me.

One or all of them would be absolutely fucking amazing. Flamethrowers would be great, walk around with one and FWOOOOSH! FWOOOOOOOSH! WORLDS SHALL BEND BEFORE ME!

I!
AM!
NECRO!

The byzantines used greek fire pretty early in history. Toady would have to make up the ingredients and crafting methods though.

Sulfur powder, coal dust, crude oil, you name it. JUST BURN THEM ALL!

I think Toady is afraid we would abuse fire in any form so much... After magma...

Tad rare+It's not a weapon, it's an inaccurate emplacement

Behold. The mons meg, a siege cannon from the mid 1400's.



Now, goblins. PROBLEM?

I felt this was appropriate. Afterall, adding something else for goblins to survive is in spirit of the title!

Unless your using a mod, we can assume gunpowder hasn't been invented yet. Gunpowder = leaving the medieval period into renaissance

Magma powered cannons. Possibly steam.

Or we could just take the easy road and say it's magic.

I find vanilla DF hard enough if one doesn't use automatic traps, danger rooms, or closing drawbridge entrances.  With sieging building destroyers always able to path into the fort eventually, reaching the status of Mountainhome will be enough of a "win" for me!

Someone should mod in boomerangs. Can you imagine what a legendary boomerangist could do with an inventory of boomerangs which ALL CAME BACK? Adamantine bladed boomerang storm!
