DF Gameplay Questions / Visitor stuck in moat.
« on: April 24, 2019, 06:25:34 pm »
I recently started a new fort and started to build. I made some farms, workshops, a tavern, and so on. After a while I decided it was time to make a moat. I have never made a successful moat before, and I am not sure if I am using the right method. What I have been doing is making a channel leading from a river and then building a bridge. So I began my moat and before long, the channels were complete. I don't know how this happened, but after a little longer, I noticed that there was a bard, just sitting in my moat. The ramps from digging the channels are still there, so I would think he would be able to make his way out, but he just sat there... for a long time. The water level is at 6 where he is. So I don't know what the problem is, or if there would be any consequences if he drowned or starved. But, I realized, this could happen to an actual important dwarf, and that would not be good. So any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
