Canuhearmenow:

== My first demon encounter==

Surprisingly, my first demon in the new version was a three eyed slavering humanoid pig. Apparently it couldn't fly - as it ran off a cliff and died. Soon thereafter I met a three eyed female humanoid lizard demon lawgiver (and though I was decked out in full steel and a legendary fighter/swordsdwarf with a good weapon and over 100 notable kills, it punched me in the foot and killed me). I am going to update the page to reflect that some demons cannot fly.

I just pierced the cavern today. Didn't really intend to, it appears that the adamantine vein had a hollow pillar going through it. So, that spawned all of the flying demons in mid air right below the opening. Tried desperately to knock a hole in a wall that led into a cavern hoping to drown the SOBs. Sadly, my entire fortress was slaughtered in minutes.--[[User:Kuroneko|Kuroneko]] 14:17, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
:Went back and pierced that cavern again, this time with a plan. I set up a flood gate that was infront of a higher level cavern's water supply. I pierced into the adamantine tunnel, and pulled the lever. It would seem that while demons are rather hot (caused steam on a regular basis) they have no problems with water. Several of them were swimming around in 7/7 blocks with no issues.--[[User:Kuroneko|Kuroneko]] 00:59, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

I haven't actually encountered any demons yet, but my sites and pops lists "Unnumbered ass demons." I'm afraid to look.
Edit: Used reveal2 to find one in fortress mode - yep. [http://greenmoth2.com/demon1.png] [[User:Shotgunmaniac|Shotgunmaniac]] 21:21, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

I wanted to look at those demons, so I made a embark for the sole purprose to dig into hell. Everyone has been killed, no demon died. Then I reembarked with a miner and a stone worker and 5 axedwarfes. I encountered three demons with names, but they didn't stand ANY chance against my dwarfes. They died on sight. I was able to make a staircase to hell, but it was already empty except to that horde of cow demon things, which slaughtered my dwarfes pretty fast. A staircase to hell is funny. And I am sure I found a slade in there!--[[User:Niggy|Niggy]] 10:11, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Note to self: demons can pass fortifications. --Ray

I can confirm the above. I spent ages building a demon-obsidianizer, only to watch them walk into the magma sea through a fortification.

:Magma/Lava and water can push creatures through fortifications. I was planning on make the demons a target for my siege operators.--[[User:BrakArg|BrakArg]] 06:21, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

I wanted to kill all of them. I set up a nasty reusable cave-in-trap and carefully carved fortifications till I discovered the pit's ceiling. I used a controlled cave-in to punch a hole in there to grant access to my trap that is between them and my fortress. But they don't seem to be interested to move in seeking for dwarfen blood.

I caged some demons.
Yes.
Demons.
Fuck yes.
When a creature is webbed, the game ignores its [TRAPAVOID].
So make a way like me, and position some GCS on a side behind fortifications like me.
Should work with FBs, and titans too.--[[User:Niggy|Niggy]] 11:45, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

== Add a "Hunting" section? ==

I've encountered Demons that were clearly hunting my character, particularly after I pledged myself to a diety. In fact, I've had entire quests that appeared to be ruses to get me into a cave (I've been twice tasked to hunt a minotaur, searched for a dozen or so minutes until I noticed the quest was "done" then encountered a demon near the entrance.)

Considering just how rare demons are to encounter in a 257x257 world, and in the same area no less, there has to be some sort of hunting mechanic Toady has in for Demons. --[[User:Canuhearmenow|Canuhearmenow]] 16:54, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

== Best "Common" War Animal? ==

I've seen these things in battle and, to be honest, they've done more damage in shorter time then many Dwarven soldiers wielding iron/bronze weapons.

I say most powerful "common" War animal because, frankly, a War Dragon can arguably take out entire sieges on their own, however Giant Eagles seem to be incredibly common with Elven caravans, unlike other animals such as Tigers (which I've heard are perhaps more well rounded then Eagles.) --[[User:Canuhearmenow|Canuhearmenow]] 13:49, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Canuhearmenow: /* Pyramid construct? */

I've taken the liberty of editing this page to make it look a little more like the rest of the wiki, and have sorted out some formatting issues, added some little notes, cleaned up the spelling and grammar and added more internal links. --[[User:DrMelon|DrMelon]] 15:01, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

No problem- Thanks, I'm the one who origenaly created this page, and I'm glad for your help. [[User:Chessnuts|Chessnuts]] 20:27, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Still need to add how to build a pyramid, but I have no time. Either someone else will finish it, or I shall tommorow.[[User:Chessnuts|Chessnuts]] 22:22, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks to the person who added the diagrams- they were needed.[[User:Chessnuts|Chessnuts]] 19:58, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

==Pyramid construct?==

The pyramid design that is currently recommended (and given instructions for) seems to focus primarily on making a blocky pyramid.

However, I was able to improve upon the design, which culminated in the construction of this:

Should we update the pyramid mega construct instructions to reflect how slopes can alter the final image to be more like a pyramid? -- [[User:Canuhearmenow|Canuhearmenow]]

Sure- I think I'll go back and thell everyone how to make the pyramid awesome, like that. Great job by the way- You make that?[[User:Chessnuts|Chessnuts]] 20:40, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

I will go back and finish the "putting the "mega" in mega construction" part tommorow, or mabye the day after. As soon as possible. Any ideas?[[User:Chessnuts|Chessnuts]] 21:18, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

: Yeah, I made it, thing took me 3000+ blocks (since I didn't use stone) of limestone, the thing isn't hollow. The obelisks are also made out of steel, and the gold parts are made out of, obviously, gold. I got tired of the entire when it was time to make the tomb, so I sort of borked that part. -- [[User:Canuhearmenow|Canuhearmenow]] 20:03, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
