I see no reason not to murder the cats other than 'because it would be cruel'. Maybe we can... slam the door shut again to avoid that?

I've actually flooded hell before... but for terraforming, not as an invasion tactic. In Bastiongate, a fort I played for 60 years, I slaughtered the initial demon rush with 2000 repeating menacing steel spikes. I then trapped some of the wandering demons behind a drawbridge so that no more would come. Then I walled up the entire edge of hell. I built boxes around the bottomless pits, setting up one with a floodgate to act as an eventual drain. A duct from the second cavern lake was dug, and hell slowly, slowly began to fill. Eventually it filled to the ceiling. I closed the duct, opened the floodgate, and watched an ocean of water drain into the bottomless pit in mere instants. Eventually, all the water dried up except for a small lake in one corner. All of hell was muddied and cave fungus began to grow. I even started a farming operation down there, by the glowing pits.


That said, that was all in 0.40. Over 5 years ago. The steam update has reduced me to a novice. I salute your effort and dwarven spirit.

I like to imagine she stacked all of the crowns on top of each other, balancing them carefully on her head.

Impressive

That's what happens when your entire civilization is descended from 20 or fewer individuals.

Sounds like a lot of !!FUN!!

If you chain up your grazers, dwarves will feed them as if they were wounded dwarves in the hospital.
