![]() ![]() Now I gotta train and equip two entire new squads, one melee and one ranged, equip them, and take a shot at revenge.ĮDIT: aaaaaaaand just as I typed up that epic tale, my game crashed right before the autosave would kick in, losing me nearly a year of "progress", including the flying leech attack.Įdited by Kayeka on Dec 29th 2022 at 4:05:17 PM If it were the much more important second layer where I get most of my wood these days, I'd be thoroughly f*cked. Thankfully it was just the first layer, which was rather useless to me aside from catching exotic pets. And I can forget about gaining back the squad's equipment, such as it was. Also, the first layer of caverns is now owned by a flying, webspewing leech. End result: over forty dead dwarves, including my well-drilled melee squad, a legendary carpenter, a legendary leatherworker, and my mayor. Dumbfounded, it took me a couple of seconds to react and pull up the drawbridge I put in front of the cavern entrance for this specific reason. Which was bad enough, but then a f*ckton of civilian dorfs came pouring out of the tunnels to loot the corpses. Since I hadn't bothered yet to include ranged attacks into my military, my entire elite squad got massacred. Turns out that this particular FB had a webbing special attack, which made it practically invincible in melee. I had already beaten two by that point, and my militia commander practically solo'd the second, so I was feeling pretty confident that I'd be able to take this one as well. Said military got a lot more shabby after a visit from a forgotten beast. Yeah, I learned as much from trawling the DF wiki, but I'm still feeling nervous about going down that deep with a rather shabby military. No doubt that's gonna screw me over the first time I have to actually use it. Should probably carve out a big cistern for it, though, since the river I use to feed the trap dries up during winter. Still, I made my entrance into a drowning trap, and that's never a waste of time and effort. Haven't had any kind of siege yet, and there don't seem to be any evil strongholds close by, so it's probably unnecessary. Two drawbridges, a flood gate, some levers and two screw pumps. I also turned my fort's only entrance into a drowning trap. This fully eliminated any need for surface work, freeing me to move my entire operation deeper down if it came to it. I moved my pastures underground after an irrigation job, and built a nice little cistern for my hospital while I was at it. It's going to be a wood and metal starved game going forward.Īt least the second layer of caverns had underground trees and cave moss. I don't seem to be getting much luck finding the pools I need, and I'm feeling nervous about digging much deeper with my military looking rather under-equipped. Many z-levels and another layer of caverns later, I've decided to give up on my magma plan for now. ![]()
