Why won't make goblins/humans try to set on fire your buildings, stuff in stockpiles and other things? We know that arson was a common thing during raids and sieges, so why not make it happen in DF?

PTW.

Fuck yeah is all.

Because we have no way to fight fire without making some weird full-fort shower system with a river. Until haulers can grab buckets, fill them with water, and toss it on fire, this shouldn't be implemented, or even an ambush squad can kill any fortress if they get to your food stockpile.

I doubt think Toady would randomly give siegers the ability to start fires without also adding firefighting. Starting fires (and, obviously, adding ways to fight them) would be a great addition. Bit of a blow to the fps though.

I would make the seigers just too op for any fort, unless that fort was made entirely of fire proof stuff including the food.

Like...stone?

Fort designs differ, but I find if invaders have already made it inside, past the traps, the crossbow ambushers and the hardened soldiers guarding the gate it's pretty much game over.

Rather than waiting for them to hunt down and kill everyone, watching them set fire to the food pile would be pretty funny. Might even kill themselves while the survivors party safely in the caverns.

Would be a challenge for playing human or elf sites in the future of course.

All those buildings going up in tinders, that would be funny if that is all it takes to take down the humans.

[Derpy Dev]

That does sound fun, but there still needs to be firefighting whether or not they can burn your stuff.

I just wanted to make a suggestion to add the ability to set stuff on fire, but I guess firefighting and setting stuff on fire would come with this so+1
