Without a wall around the entire map, the water would flow off screen.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: fort layout/entrance design ideas? My forts suck.
« on: February 07, 2009, 10:05:09 am »
On my latest map, I went with a 3 bridge walk-of-death design, an idea I got from the DFwiki.
Here it is color coded.
The three bridges are circled in red. The blue represents the path invaders will have to take if the middle bridge is closed, this will run them over tons of traps, and past the Fortifications (pink) which could have archers or ballista behind them (yellow). The red represents open space where invaders cannot walk.
Inside my fort, I have three levers (one for each bridge). By toggling these levers, I can let everyone into my base easily, such as traders (main path), I can raise the middle bridge, forcing enemies along the blue, or I can close all of them, effectivly keeping enemies out of my fort.
Hope this helps.

If shooting the wagon with a ballista does not work, try building a bridge in the path to your depot. When the wagons are on the bridge, raise/retract it. This will make their wagons explode.
Aside from the lols, you will also get whatever was in their wagons, and I am pretty sure this pisses them off.
Also, if you want to get really into it, you could build a flood chamber.

I have to be honest... I just started Adv. Mode, and I found a wagon, and don't even know how to pick up items... I guess that falls under general controls. Is there a place I can learn these?
