I then spawned two creatures on opposing teams, one a fire-dwelling creature and the other a land creature. The fire creature will not go through the fortification at all. The setup is such that there is no way for it to go above or around the fortification, it must travel directly through it. I used an elf and a Fire Man and a fluffy wambler and a Fire Imp in two different tests with the same results. I then repeated the two combinations with differing magma heights with the same results. It should be noted however that due to the fact that it's not possible to spawn "small creatures" in arena mode, this test certainly doesn't rule out the possibility that the magma critters with the small creature or vermin tags could breach your fortification, but at least the big are effectively exclude. | I then spawned two creatures on opposing teams, one a fire-dwelling creature and the other a land creature.

Altered the "flooding" section to account for the lack of stationing and the new "burrow" system. Crash2455 00:16, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
Are carps still deadly? I've heard they were nerfed. 201.19.99.84 03:29, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
Diggor Mortis + Flooding
After a particularly silly event involving a river, a berserk dwarf, a floodgate and several flights of stairs I ended up with a dead miner and an entirely flooded stockpile - unfortunately, this meant my reserve picks were now useless, awarding me a double fate of both Diggor Mortis and Flooding. :( --DrMelon 14:30, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
Verify Use of Fortifications as Creature Barriers
I believe that, to my mind, I've proven that fortifications will stop magma creatures as of 31.19. Done using a customized portion of the arena.
