Everybody is friends with somebody, so when there's a murder, it just cascades around. Played for a couple of hours, but it's not looking good.

Oh, and did I mention that I'm in the middle of an 'everybody needs new clothes' wave? Clothiers workshops are going full speed to try to meet that need. I've set up a small jail and used the Justice menu(s) to convict a couple, but that seems to have made things worse. It's tantrum spiral city now, several dwarves going berzerk, killing each other, etc. I thought all was well, not much was on fire, only a few dorfs lots, but boy, was I wrong. A couple died, but as you predicted, one bolt eventually took him down. He muddled around in the stairwell for a while, and I sent my entire militia(s) after him. Before any walls could be constructed (I paused immediately after the original notification to prepare myself) he flew up and into my fort. The FB (fucking beast) was very, very fast.

Thoughts on how to defeat this guy? One thought was attempting to flood the entire cavern area, but I don't have a river I could channel down there, just a few stagnant pools on the surface, and the flooded cavern the FB is in. I could 'airlock' my militias into the caverns, but they'll almost certainly lose at this point. I'm afraid that any attempt to attack this guy will lead to him getting into my fort and basically burning down the whole thing, while my axe&hammerdwarves will be virtually ineffective. I haven't focused on danger rooms or any of the more advanced training topics, just the typical 'barracks + training'. I have plenty of dorfs to set up ~40 military total if need be. I've got a poorly trained military, with one older squad, and one new squad. I'm in the process of walling off all my cavern entrances. It's '.made of Flame' and is currently wondering around in my caverns setting everything on fire and turning all the water down there into steam. Anyway, weapon traps are great for keeping your fortress clean by causing invaders to jump into volcanoes and not litter your fortress with their junk, if you should provide them a convenien walkway along, say a magma tunnel, or volcano mouth where they can use their lives constructively to please the gods and not bother your fortress.Just got a Forgotten Beast on my first fortress that's actually been going really well, and I don't want to lose my fort to this guy. Won't work on creatures that have trap-avoid, but if you have spikes that rise from the floor due to frequent switching, I think this might cause even them to jump to adjacent tile and a cage trap therein, with luck. I think the cave-in traps were the most successful in capturing FBs, not that I ever did much with them, I did have a fort with 3 FBs in cages.Īnother trap idea is to use weapon traps to cause jumping beasts to jump into adjacent tiles and traps therein. This, because some FBs were flying and didn't touch the floor to activate plates, but still did destroy the doors and such, so doors holding back water, potentially highly pressurized, was my idea to help launch the FBs into falling into cage traps. The FBs used to destroy all doors, so this would let the water on the plate that would cause the cave-in traps to activate and hopefully stun the FB into falling to a cage. I put a pit behind a door, and the water activated plate in front of it, together with cave-in pillars beside with cage traps. I used to have cave-in traps that were activated by plates, in turn activated by water.
