Of course, that 1 wide tile gab is also the perfect place to place traps of any kind, if you make more room in the corners you can even use catapults / ballistas to deal some damage against Titans.Īnyway, the best way to deal with sieges is to have 2 ways of getting in. Once the drawbridge gets raised it will allow access inside the walls, which allows for pathing. Next fortress will have double walls, with 1 tile in between them. However, because the enemies couldn't path to my dwarfs, they wouldn't get in range of my bolts :/ The idea was to close off all access to the outside world and let markdwarfs take care of the invaders. Gives the masons or metalsmiths something to do and gets rid of unneeded stone / metal. I like to put towers and walls around my entrence. My military is only needed for stray grizzlys and FBs because of this:P It puts out the fires, which is a con, but the water part is better protected, was installed earlier, and can be used in addition to my trap corridor to wash people back a bit. To aid in picking this up, I open the water floodgates. This leaves a whole lot of burning corpses and all the iron I'll ever need. But technically, they are connected to the fortress.įirst, I get rid of the small stuff (all the xxTroll Fur Loinclothxx stuff) with the magma. They are not really entrances, because you can never get passed that corridor. In the level above it, I have my cleanup system in the other 2 entrances. In case of a siege, this is the route the invaders will try. At the end, it also leads to the barracks. It is very longwinded, and I don't think the second half of the traps have ever seen an invader. In case of sieges, this gate gets closed. Thiefs will always be spotted and slaughtered. Caravans can only spawn right in front of it. The trade depot entrance is near the side of the map. One that is very longwinded and filled with weapon traps. One that leads to my trade depot, but takes a detour through my barracks. One that dumps water over everything in front of it as soon as it gets opened. One that dumps magma over everything in front of it as soon as it gets opened. I have several gates to the rest of the world.
