... break straight for the watcher, which is extremely fragile and doesn't stand a chance on its own...
Actually, I've found watchers to be rather resilient to attacks, given they have only a body. Some watchers somehow got out of the fortress once during a siege (I think they can fly? Not sure.) and were pummeled by a pack of shedim for quite some time before they eventually managed to kill it. Same thing with zingers, which works really well in my favor since I pasture them in range of marksdwarf towers to spot ambushes. Still, I suppose zingers and watchers being able to tank so well is not intended?
Made a bronze spider today. Woo hoo! Glad to see this working at last, though the mechanic does tend to drop all clothing, haha. Just out of curiousity, Narhiril, what is the spider deployment hub supposed to look like, and how does it work, lore-wise? Looks like a purple gem.
On a side note, I find it hard to abandon LFR fortresses that I get bored of, given that I will need to tech all over again. Looks like this mod is helping me out with my commitment issues, haha.
