(SPOILERS) Can I use HFS to deal with my enemies?

(1/1)

rucksackjack:
It occurred to me that, with sufficiently dwarven ingenuity, I might be able to lure goblins and other attackers into contact with clowns. Ignoring the difficulty of engineering such an encounter, if I did get a goblin face-to-face with a clown, would the clown annihilate the goblin just as it would my dwarves? Or would it ignore the goblin and continue saying "raaagh! Must kill dwarves"?

I know this isn't a practical solution to, um, anything, but I'm still really enamored of this idea if it works. Surely turning HFS to one's own purposes is the greatest conquest a dwarf can achieve.

PopeRichardCorey:
I feel like it is a fairly practical solution to EVERYTHING.  I mean, you sacrifice one miner or hauler to untap the clowns and their ilk with only a passage to the surface; every part of the map that you use is sealed off.  Then you start producing massive amounts of value to lure in every possible NONclown and wait for every single foe you have to get whittled down.

The only loss is trade, so you better make sure you have everything you need.  And hope that they don't kill your liaison. 

derekiv:
Also, it will kill your frame rate. Usually, your frame rate is halved.

Bah! My mistake. I should have inspected first-page topics obviously dealing with HFS before posting this one. =P

This excites me greatly, however. I can't imagine a sight more pleasurable than a goblin siege (or, better yet, an elven caravan) wandering onto my fort only to be devoured by demons. Can you imagine the looks on their faces?

Time to get to work.
