Do fortifications protect your archers from far away enemy archers these days?

Hm, so far I started to send my squads to the platform, as soon as the goblins got stuck at my cage traps, cuz their leaders got caged. I never experienced your situation.

I havn't seen fortifications v.s. enemy archers in this version, but I remember in an earlier version the fortifs only stopped a few of the enemy bolts.

[MasterMorality]

Sounds Fun.

[FearfulJesuit]

Guys, it's not that hard if you pick a site. My site has wood, limonite and flux, I'm fine.

I did a one z-level higher platform a couple versions back with fortifications and a dog inside for spotting thiefs(before I knew they needed to be one space away to detect an enemy)

Anyhows, that dog was horribly pincushioned by a billion bolts.

Thankfully, now guard towers can work (with non-starveable animals), as ambushes can now be spotted three or so squares away. And for the 'getting shot' thing, windows are both transparent and bolt-proof (but vulnerable to building destroyers who can get next to them).

What has the world come to when the blue stuff is more common that copper?

Windows + fortifications = invincidogsentry?

If they can see that far. You should try it.

[EmperorJon]

Can they not see everything within 3 tiles?


So...

Well, I don't actually know if they do, since the goblins I think were busy shooting at livestock rather than the marksdwarves in the tower. But I have them, and the throat shot on an opposing mace lord before they all ran away suggests that they're fine for shooting out from.

[EveryZig]

Built Fortifications do not create a ceiling above them, but do they create a floor below them?

[Di]

Yes, they do, if something falls on them from above it'll be stuck there until deconstruction.

So fortifications block line of sight downwards, then?
