Can you or can a dwarf not swim to the surface the answer says both. Maybe it means in adventurer mode? – unsigned comment by Jikor
- It was thought to be impossible, but then someone recorded a movie of a dwarf doing it, so...--SL 20:38, 3 January 2008 (EST)
Are we sure that dwarves drown at the same rate with heavy or light equipment if they have swimming skill? Or is it just ones that have no skill?--SL 20:38, 3 January 2008 (EST)
- I did the test for heavy vs. light, and I did not consider swimming ability. I just drowned two peasants, one in armour and one not. --Juckto 05:49, 25 May 2008 (EDT)
- Just attempted to test it, but was unsuccesful as my two proficient swimmers climbed out of the pond I was trying to drown them in. So I added that to the article. --Juckto 06:34, 25 May 2008 (EDT)
What are the exact requirements to build a drowning trap. I built a large outlook lake I could floor/empty. After luring some goblins into the area and filling it all to 7/7 the only goblin to drown was the one which stood directly under the area where the water entered from above. It seems that they will only drown if they are in 7/7 water and there is at least 1/7 water above them. Any confirmation/additions welcomed. Yvain 16:49, 2 March 2008 (EST)
- If there is a roof above them they drown in 7/7 otherwise they can tread water, and keep their heads up to breath. --Ikkonoishi 18:28, 2 March 2008 (EST)
- I've been dropping some of my caged goblins into a pit designed at the edge of a river, and they have no roof above them but are drowning quite nicely. G-Flex 02:17, 25 May 2008 (EDT)
I've been working on a water-pulse defensive mechanism, using flowing water to push things around, mostly to see if I can. Been getting some help on the DF forums. I'm going to make a few preliminary tests using dwarves as test subjects. In theory this should be a *safe* way to train swimming, because I don't know if continuous pulses of water will do enough drowning damage to kill something. ---Kefkakrazy 02:18, 22 September 2008 (EDT)
