Fortifications
« on: August 18, 2006, 09:06:00 am »
Well, I just experinced my first mandril invasion. They robbed my food stockpile while my milita were helpless to stop them.

I've since resolved that my next fortress wil be more wothy of the name. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to do this. I've seen the 'carve fortifications' option, but I've never been able to get it to work.

Can anyone tell me how to carve fortifications and what exactly they do? I would especialy appreciate screanshots of a well defended fortress.

Fortifications let your dwarves fire crossbows from behind them in relative safety.  They need to be constructed over detailed stone.

It's in the help menu, but it's kind of burried.  Took me a while to find, and it wasn't soon enough to save my last fort  :(
