Megabeast stopper exploit! (Works on Clowns!!!!!!!!!)
« on: May 04, 2011, 07:49:18 pm »
Well a pretty awesome Cyclops came with more than 400 kills, but after throwing a dumb woodcutter into the mountainside, he goes to the corpse strewn entrance of my fortress with the LOOOONG corridor of Maxed Steel Serrated Disc traps, but after that, he just stares. He's been doing that for almost a month.
Edit: Turns out they won't go into your fort if your door is jammed open.
Edit: Works on HFS.

No actually, just in front of a bunch of mangled bodies and a bloody hallway full of traps.

They're all building destroyers, so if there's anything nearby to smash or destroy (aka, anything that isn't placed via b-c) then it'll take time to break it.  Also, is there a path to the base, or did you wall off?

Well, there is a door all the way at the end of the corridor. And it does lead to the main housing complex of my dwarves.

I've heard lore of building destroyers being stumped by doors that have items dropped on them. The item keeps the door from closing, and the destroyers wait politely for it to close so they can have their dramatic entrance.

It's the silly bugs in the game that always make my day.

That's why! There's a goblin corpse keeping my door from closing! Thanks. Guess the cyclops is like the koolaid man: Unable to make an undramatic entrance.

You should shoot bolts at it, though.

Often invaders do stop right before your trap-ridden corridor of doom and siege you like that.
