DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / No Migrants at all?
« on: July 30, 2014, 06:48:14 am »
Hi there!

Currently i am playing my first fort since the big update. It is now two years old and there have been no migrant wave at all. There had been a goblin diplomat from my mountainhome (why a goblin?), traders of all kinds but no migrants. Who can i do?

World Info: 250 Years Old, middle size, Version:40.05, etc

Greetings,

DF Suggestions / Goblins and other stuff as catapult ammunution.
« on: March 25, 2014, 08:15:23 am »
Hello,

i have a suggestion to make. It should be possible to throw nearly anything with the catapults, for example Goblins. To do this, u would need at least some rope or chain. Additionally u should be able to set them on fire with oil or something similar - although the risk of burning the siege dwarf and freeing the animal/monster/furniture. To do this, there should be an extra option in the catapult menu, as well as in some workshop (probably siege) like a "bind/rope X" option. Also, in very rare cases mad dwarfes would try to bind themselves or other dwarfs, cats and so on just to throw them into despair!

Though this might be somewhat effective, it should not be overpowered but fun to watch and read. :) Also, the armor and physique should determine the damage done. Imaging a Troll is dieing by a flying burning chair. Sometime the ammonation Goblins/Elves/Cats/Dwarfes even survive the throw and attack the nearest enemy, or be crippled for the rest of their miserable live.

Additionally this could be an option for adventure-mode fortresses as well ... maybe even as a sardonic punishment for your hero.

Some impressions:

What do you think?
In my opinion this sounds like a well worthy addition, that makes the game more fun, interesting. Furthermore its not a very  complex system to implement, especially compared with the outcome of fun.

Vote for this! Vote for Lanies Catapult Idea!
