Movie: Clockwork Drowning Entryway in Action Coaldiamond

Movie starts off right after the ambush is detected. A hostile marksdwarf rushes ahead while three goblins charge into the chamber. Had a siege cohort tried this, there would have been much more blood, but even still, it was fun to watch.

Is this a bug? Or is the game modded? What's going on here?

Awesome. I'm loving that deadly courtyard fortification there.

Question from Foaboe: How does it work?
Answer: I'm embarrassed to say that it is much less complex than it should be. You can see the reservoir and floodgates that control the waterfall at 00:16 - 00:18. The floodgates are connected to a pressure plate below them, seen at 00:20 - 00:25. Anytime a dwarf steps on the plate, the waterfall is released. The pressure plate sits in a high traffic area, so it's really only an application of creature logic.

Hey Lumpy,
Could you upload the map for this fortress? I'd like to look at the filling and drainage system you designed for your drowning chamber.

Well, how long it takes depends on how much you like automated defenses. When I made my last 2 forts with this kind of defense, I would refuse to start any industries until the chamber is finished. That way, you don't attract seiges and ambushes until you're ready.
On a side note, I'm finding out that having multiple entrances like this (or a manual STOP switch) is preferable, since you sometimes don't want your only entrance blocked.

Great work. Its fun to see others enjoying overly complicated goblin killers. I hope you had fun building it.

Not too much going on here, just a short vid from my fort Duralducim (Clockworks). I have an aqueduct above the fort that also releases a waterfall (thanks to a pressure plate in a high traffic area) every so often. The real trick is keeping the pool from overflowing.

Well, even though it wasn't perfect, I'm still excited to see that it works at all. Newer versions can be built with larger chambers and with longer timers, to better kill pesky invaders.

Paratrooping Gobbo Moshpit, Flaming Dwarves, and Carp

There are two squads of PARATROOPING gobbos outside. They spawned in a completely isolated island. One of them is missing all of his limbs. There are piles of flaming dwarf skeletons. The river runs red with blood. There are piles of flaming fish. The landscape is on fire. The original seven settlers are safe in their Vault. The carp are running away. - RPharazon
