v0.31 Talk:Trap
I have had goats, goblins and alligators happily walk right through a stone trap bomb carpet of 3-5 layers (per person) and walk away wounded, but still walking. This certainly seems new.
Experiences with this? --Birthright 19:42, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
- Maybe that´s because they deal only blunt damage (I think), which has been severely nerfed (because it seldom deals critical wounds and bleeding). I had the same experience with a goblin siege in year 2, which then also doomed my entire fortress (because I only got mildly trained soldiers with leather armor and copper weapons and marksdwarfs are bugged).
I think they will regain their usefulness, when damage types get balanced again. On the other hand, they really were quite overpowered before, considering the needed setup-time and material. ~ Felcis 20:34, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
- Makes sense. I'm not even complaining - I like a challenge. The wooden spears, bows and arrows in my weapon traps btw may be a bit overpowered now.
Stonefall
It's my recollection that stonefall traps outright destroy the stone when they are triggered, so they always need to be reloaded with a fresh rock from somewhere else. --Quietust 20:56, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
- Well, try it out? Certainly not the case here, and never was IIRC. --Birthright 21:20, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
- I second that. I always have the stone of the trap lying on it after it was triggered, so it was not destroyed. I´m not even sure if the dwarfes always need a different one, but I never payed close attention to that. ~ Felcis 21:26, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
