Bay 12 Games Forum

Yay its progressing again!

So... you dig out a damp stone and your fort gets flooded.

What exactly is the mystery here?

Game is called Lockdown, flash rpg game that used to be hosted on cartoon network several years ago.

I remember playing this game when I was 8 and it was one of my favorite RPGs back then.
After they took toonami down from the website, I couldn't find the game anymore (forgot its name), but today I finally found a website that hosted all of these "lost" games which brings to me a great deal of nostalgia.

The graphic sprites might seem meh nowadays, but when the game first came out I thought it was awesome.
A lot of detail was also put into the game so I think its still worth a try.
Thought some of you bay12ers might remember some of these games from nearly a decade ago, so just sharing my find.

I purposely placed the cat there as a sentry watchout for goblin thieves and ambushers.
It can't be touched by goblins unless they manage to get a lucky shot via crossbow.

The levers should be all Noted.

But for better clarification, the 7 levers at the far left of the fort near the water draining place are used to turn on and off the river draining device.


Already mentioned this in my last fort update post, but in the screenshot below:

the left lever in the red/blue/yellow room opens the bridges that keep the river held back, and the right lever in the room open the bridges to the right which are used to drain water from the middle of the river.

There's dragon, Dwarf, !!DWARF!!, and Dwarfy, but it appears you are missing one very important thing which all of these words have in common,

"Death"

Winter is approaching, although I doubt it will really get cold enough to be called an actual winter.
The fort is certainly in much better shape than it was when I first came, although it still needs a bit touching up in terms of decoration and wealth.
The river damming project went along a lot more smoothly than I expected, good thing too especially since we lack the numbers to make up for any mistakes that could have happened.

I think it would only be suitable if I record how I managed to carry out this task in case anyone else in the future might want to do the same.

First, I gave orders to dig a sizable trench beneath the source side of the river.

Second, I ordered the engravers to smooth out some water passing fortifications at the edge of the territory.
How these fortifications enable an infinite amount of water to drain out is beyond my comprehension, but all I need to know is that it works.

Third, I order a row of floodgates built so that we can control when we want the river to drain or not.

Fourth, for faster draining, I've ordered a trench to be dug out from beneath the middle of the river. This trench is then diverted to the original draining device so that it doesn't flood up right away.

Fifth, I've ordered the masons to construct a thin stone pathway right over the trenches that were dug out earlier. These will later be linked up to supports and levers and will eventually be used to punch out holes in the river that will allow the water to drain.

Sixth, I pull the lever.


And watch the show



The ghosts seemed a tad bit disturbed that I washed their former bodies off the face of the map, but I'll just engrave a few slabs to satisfy them.

All the future overseers need to do is to pull that left lever in the multicolored room to unleash the river's fury.

It's getting late and I should rest.

Before I continue, I'd just like to know how many non-military things in this game have actually been weaponized (successfully) before.

Since the number one rule for this succession was no military or single tile traps, I saw no reason to keep all that armor and weaponry.
