Misc Workshops

We could probably use a better space, but this works for now.

Convertable Hallway

When a dwarf pulls the lever, these bridges raise and force invaders to use a more circuitous route through the caverns.

Depot

Fits snugly.

Oops

I think I'm going to have to knock down a big chunk of that wall and replace it with a drawbridge. Because even if ballistae aren't the most practical weapons, the effect would be pretty sweet.

Limul Rodimvutik

Count Consort of one of our neighbor-forts, under our civilization. He was a guest at The Deep Chocolate and took a walk at the wrong time. One hopes this does not become a diplomatic incident.

He was also the only other dwarf to die in this siege.

Caught between two pillboxes.

When I built up the barracks, I realized I'd need to prevent goblins from using it to kite down into the courtyard, which is where the pillbox on the northwest comes in (the archers stand a z level up from here.) The one on the southeast was designed to guard the southern entrance, and happens to also provide double coverage for the southern approach to the barracks roof. It had barely been finished when the goblins showed up, in fact some of the fortifications weren't carved because the engraver got scared of the goblins.

They don't kill as efficiently as melee troops, but they certainly do the job, and it seems like the goblins eventually figure out that this isn't a good place to loiter.

It's interesting to watch the AI try to react. Do you go for the vulnerable dwarfs who occasionally wander outside? Or do you run away from the bolts?

Occasionally a goblin would dodge and fall into the courtyard. I think I lost one recruit from a failure to notice that happening until it was too late. He died on the drawbridge.
