Revision as of 14:35, 4 July 2008
i ve seen discussions bout "moats/pits" here and there - why not simply use an empty channel? --Koltom 11:07, 6 March 2008 (EST)
Style, mostly. Well, that and an empty channel isn't deadly to anyone falling into it (Which can happen on occasion in a big bunch of enemies.) For most things, though, an empty channel backed by a wall to prevent projectile fire is sufficient. --Erom 13:44, 6 March 2008 (EST)
Planning for building destroyers
So, apart from doors (and things like workshops) what can a building destroyer monster break through? Do I have to worry about a magma man breaking through the wall grate filter in my magma supply, or a troll busting through my arrow slits (= fortifications)? Anydwarf 12:59, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
- I've seen them destroy ballistas, statues and hatch covers. They probably can destroy anything that can be built. --Bouchart 13:10, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
I got a bronze colossus to play with and did some testing. (They really do regenerate quickly!)
Things destroyed:
- iron/steel/stone doors (gone)
- stone wall grate (gone)
- trade depot (deconstructed into rough stones)
- glass statues (deconstructed only, they were sitting next to where they were installed; game says "toppled")
- vertical steel bars (deconstructed only; "toppled")
Things not destroyed:
- constructed or carved walls and fortifications (ignored)
- rope (for holding guard dogs; it walked right over)
- drawbridge (walked across; ignored while up)

Armed Civilians
I tried the armed civilian stuff, but an unfortunate side effect is that hunters seem to sleep anywhere except in their beds. Also the forums suggest giving 'fake' woodcutting or mining jobs so that civilians carry pick-axes or battle-axes. This does not address the armor issue, though. --Aykavil 10:35, 4 July 2008 (EDT)
