Dwarf Fortress Video Tutorial part 33 - Taking care of caged enemies 2

[XpaceTrue]

Actually, your score at the end of the video is inaccurate. You should have said, "Bears 2, Goblins 0", because the bears killed two and the goblins killed none.

BTW: Shouldn't there be a way to push the entire cage, creature and all, down a pit? Sure, you lose a cage. But with infinite glass and magma, it's no big deal. If it were possible, that might be one way to deal with even a dragon or eagle. Plus, the cage splinters should hurt more. (glass = ouch!)

[kingnothing119]

Did you create an arena inside your Dwarf Fortress? If so, how did you designate the area as an arena? Also, how did you get them all to start in their own "team" zones?

[captnduck]

@kingnothing119 .... Theres no such thing as an arena or team zone, there are only cages and levers to open them. Watch part 32.

[wbmc1]

XD This is why this game is so epic...Theres so much to do!!! There will never be a fortress that is completly, 100 %, finished. It'll always have somehting to build or expand....which is what makes it fun :D

You should of tamed the dragon and stuff though now THAT would be hillarious against goblin raiders XD

[MadeinHell2]

Kind of a waste with the dragon ;). For all I know you can tame it and turn it into a war creature.

(at least that's what the wiki says). Seems kinda dangerous though since he can firebreath your own dwarves... roasted military seems like a dead military xP

[saaron62]

Dwarf Fortress is "the" most complex game ever. How could a 2D topdown game like this have such perfect physics? The water simulation is better than most things, and how can it possibly determine how a caved in section would fall? It's perfect I tell you.

[4540524]

@saaron62 About the cave-ins: Any part of soil not connected to another will cave in.

[saaron62]

@4540524 Any game can do that. I'm talking about the cave-ins where the ceiling is too heavy and it falls in. What you said, any game with a speck of gravity can do.

[4540524]

@saaron62 Yeah, but that is exactly what happens with DF.

[MetaKnight345]

"Will he fall on this cat? I sure hope so."

Well, you shouldn't hope that, because creatures function as cushions when other creatures fall on them, negating all the falling damage. Neither the falling creature nor the fallen-on creature receive ANY damage, so you should install some doors around "The Drop"'s bottom and forbid those to keep away any and all creatures (except vermin, but those don't count as creatures).

Your experiment could have gone hilariously wrong. xD

[mandokir]

Go, you dragon! Down the tower of death with you! Oh shi-

[hachnslay]

by using the "." key while the game is paused it will continue by one frame.

[cell12345]

Those two bears wouldn't kill each other cause their both tame and both of the same race. Anyway, my arena is crap compared to yours:P

I only built it as a way to get rid of all those damn goblins(I had been ambushed maybe 4 times in 5 minutes, about twenty goblins, about 15 got captured, and all those goddamn snatchers.)Stupid goblins killed my retarded metal smith who was wandering outside. Great stuff by the way! Taught me a lot!

[coilgunner2]

I just erected my goblin free-fall tower, and tested it on a wild horse and a rhesus macaque. It works alright! Of course while building the fourth z level, a baby decided to jump off, and suffered a neck wound.

I'm bringing up a few goblin cages now. I captured an entire goblin ambush in my cage traps without killing a single one. Now I have a lot of goblins to play with :D.

[Lolzwheejars]

Lol! So cruel, yet hilarious :D

[Mattie2013]

Or how about the two Crushers, where you either

A: Drop a sheet of ground tiles on a goblin (Requires Columns for time-release)

B: Drop a bridge on them (Requires a bridge, duh.)

[Titan360]

lol, at 5:10, when you moved your cursor, I thought it was the goblin for a second.

"Holy crap, the animation on this game improves by a whole lot when goblins go splat!"

[Cabot696]

Haha! Oh, how did you color the floor?

[SchoolhouseTechno]

He used different kinds of stone/glass/metal for the floor.

I know gypsum is yellow, green glass is green, bauxite is red, and microcline is blue.

So using those materials he can color the floor.

[captnduck]

very close, i used all those but bauxite, i used kaolinite for the red.

[SchoolhouseTechno]

Funny, I was going to say kaolinite because that was what I had in my fortress mainly but I hadn't seen it in your game yet. Haha

[PenguinClock]

What ever happened to your underground mushroom forest?

[Mattie2013]

No idea. I think stuff happened and the dragon explodied it. I might be wrong though.

[Koolker2]

You are very bad guy. Poor goblins...

[chickenfingers991]

You should put a few lowly recruits, some bears and goblins in there and see what happens.

[DeliriumWartner]

Could you please tell us how to disarm enemies in cages, Cap? I can't work it out from the wiki pages.

[Mattie2013]

Put them in a cage and mark their items for dumping.

They can't do a thing while you steal their clothes! THEIR CLOTHES!

[pollo2019]

Really nice, never actually tried to cage enemies yet... i will try that then really seems fun ^_^

really nice tutorial once again, lots of fun to have there again ^_^

[EBattousai]

I'm loving seeing goblins get tossed down holes and being fed to bears, but what about dealing with your own pesky dwarves when they get out of hand?

[pmantix84]

Yeah I'm totally building an arena now!

[balgor]

Dont disarm the goblins mate, just put more bears in the arena hehe.

MOAR BEAR MAULING ACTION!!!

[HALover9000]

Fuck yeah, RELEASE THE BEARS.

[AvatarJC]

This is great, but how do you disarm caged people?

[omlp]

i cant remember off the top off my head but the wiki definatly has it under cage

[spec10]

the arena is awesome :D
