Winter is coming...
« on: October 28, 2011, 11:20:30 am »
And all my dwarves are dying. I've been playing A Song of Ice and Fire mod, and my fortress keep getting run over by Wights (unded Level 2  Destroyers) and Others (Indestructible unless bisected or by obsidian). They're also trapimmune. Any way I can remedy this? I don't have any below ground crops or dragons sadly. :(

This is Dwarf Fortress. Where torture, enslavement, and murder are not only tolerable hobbies, but considered dwarfdatory.

Wall up and grow winter-hardy surface crops?

I would suggest
1) Walling-up and dig deep until you catch some giant cave spiders. Then use web+cage traps to capture your enemies and release them into a specially constructed arena where you make them fight goblins and other various beasts of destruction.
2) Create an elaborate trap that lures them into a corridor and then covers them with magma.
3) Cave-in's. Lots and lots of cave-ins.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

Got any obsidian? No? Go down and mine some.

Also you're probably screwed.
