The mountainhome of Rhyming Occult-Palisade. Bred 19 to 146 dwarves over 39 years and 10ish days irl. Trained Hydra, killed 29 megabeasts, built half of a minecart ocean-jump platform for adventurers to get artifacts.
I once read about a FB trap. FB destroys bulding, water goes onto pressure plate, they're sealed.
"I want that." I thought. Replaced water with minecarts, though.
However, either the diagonals or build order messed with things.
Maybe it was all of them being open at once.
Ultimately, what would happen is that FB would spring one trap, then go chase down another one.
Alternatively, they went too close to building and got stuck.
I still saw some great fights. And not so great ones, where my haulers get interrupted by FB, put them down before I can react, and continue hauling since everyone has been training for decades.
In particular: In the northwest, there is the corpse of Radavi, inorganic webber made of black opal, champion of these fights, who positioned themselves as to destroy the artifact native gold hatch cover Kerligteling. They managed to weave and bob around the gold minecart, so I stationed my best squad under the hatch.
I ordered them to attack.
This is perhaps the only case where I know a non-fragile webber FB has been killed by a squad in melee combat without getting off any webs at all.
I have a new favourite method of FB-slaying. - Fleeting Frames

Nice tower, wish I could see it in 3D.

Beautiful fortress! Your writeup read like poetry. The moon design is evocative.
Also, it warms my heart that DF can occasionally confuse even the most knowledgeable of players.

Hey, Tharis, finally got that screenshot you asked for, thanks to mifki's 3dviewer
Here's an image of what the person leaving the fort via ocean-pult sees and a link to fort to scroll around in, until mifki takes it down.
Here's another screenshot of the tavern area
And thanks, Salmeuk. ^^;;
Confusion comes easy with forgetting, but I still see new things in DF everytime I spend a day on it.
