Statue as wall
« on: August 05, 2011, 04:46:26 am »
If I walled off the entire map border with statues and leave a small 1 x 3 gap open will all the migrants caravans and ambushes etc. spawn there?

I got fed up with my fortress, so I decided to kill everyone (abandon is for elves) with a cave-in.

OK, cave-ins were always pretty deadly, but with the new falling object damage they are downright brutal.  As far as I can make out from the logs, many people were killed by the flying bodies of other victims.  One baby's corpse ricocheted off three other people, two walls and the floor.

Can't build close enough to the map edge to pull that off. But if you build a wall out as far as you can, you can funnel non-fliers through the hole you leave, and you could put a ceiling on top if you like. It'd have to be a constructed wall, though, building destroyers would dismantle the statues

Or build raising bridges. They act as walls, and can be built on the map edge.

Statues will get kicked over by building destroyers.
