Nothing to do with plagiarism, just I was remembering the horrific days of the 910 magma blitz of bay12, and people CONSTANTLY associating your name e.t.c must be unfortunate

And you've forced me to... It's Minotaurs when plural :O

And you've forced me to... It's Minotaurs when plural :O

...And the individual term for one of the race from the Fortress Defense mod that I was referring to is "minotauros," and the plural form, given by the mod itself, is "minotaurossi." Minotaurossi are very similar to, but distinct from, minotaurs. So it is I who is correct and it it you who is wrong

My fortress defenses vary on each of my forts.  I usually have some horribly contrived death trap in mind before I even embark.  Like the trap that would melt the ice under the enemy's feet, drop them in frigid water, and let it refreeze to encase them.  Or a room that has magma pumped through fortifications in the walls to push invaders into a drain in the middle, with a grate at the bottom to catch all the goodies.  My current fort is planned to have an arena in the entrance where I will pen war crocodiles, with the marksdwarf barracks literally above the room, and a big hole in the middle for them to shoot down through.

Before I get those kinds of things running, I tend to default to the "dry moat in front of a fortified wall with marksdwarves on it" defense.

actually, he was using historical information, its just that many things have gotten modernized
I once got called for bad typing for saying vulcanism instead of volcanism, while volcano and vulcano are completely interchangeable

Well, I use a 　magma  flametrower　, I made it reverse enginering some stuff from that one post about 　magma landmines　
(I don't remember how it was called)
Although its a hard late-game megaproject involving LOTS of pipes and pre-planning. I just wish Toady implemented some sort of block that allows only liquids to pass. That would be awesome.

Squads of axedorfs at the gate. No pansy crossbows, or traps. There's usually a high turnover before i actually can get sufficient axes, not to mention armour. Sometimes the goblins overrun me before that. Sometimes a caravan arrives in time to bail me out, sometimes not...

I'm pretty sure that's called a fortification.

Or a floodgate.

[Pawel1997PL]

No its a real gun, its not the normal SKORCh THE WORLD method its posible to create because it seems that magma presurices when you use pumps to move it.

Magma blitz? History lesson please 

Also, I never run out of dwarves. Just a perimeter with one part open. No bridges, gates or enclosed spaces. My [insert the fear of enclosed spaces here] dwarves are put in the military. Easy way to stop idlers in a 200 man fort, easy to keep my masons busy 

[Haspen]

First year: Line of traps.

Second year: Line of traps + ramshackle militia.

Years 3-5: More militia.

Years 5+: Half or more of fort are already soldiers.

My fort now has 151 dwarves, from which 84 are soldiers, 54 are civilian workers (1/3 metalworkers, 1/3 food-related, 1/3 oither) and 13 children. 25 animals, including 17 war beasts (mostly dogs + random lion/bear etc.)

[Doughnut189]

I defend my fortresses with

A: A long, long bridge leading into the fortress that has a big pit under it where enemies die and then have their stuff taken and corpses left to rot.

B: The same, but with a drainable flooding trap underneath.

C: Some weapon traps and a short hallway.

D: No defenses at all. (Survival of the fittest)

[peskyninja]

First year: Screw you goblins! I just lock myself in the fort.
Rest of the fort: Use the fucking military, traps is for elves.
