Unfortunately no, catapults can't fire through walls, unless they are carved into fortifications but then the goblins arrows can still get through anyway. Although, having the fortifications means less skilled archers need to be closer to the walls before they can fire through them so I might still be a bit helpful. Unfortunately there's an elite in there so it wouldn't have mattered.AlphaEcho said:

Sadly so can the goblins. A wall would block the goblin arrows, but the wiki says catapult rocks stay on one Z-level until they fall.Jimmybobjr said:
Edit: I just saw the previous post, sorry. In regards to what I've already written, you could raise the catapults a Z-level at range, but back far enough that the floor would get in the way of enemy arrows. I think?
Just in case you grow desperate and need new names, because the dorflist is empty... or in case my dorf dies a horrible, painful and most likely slightly embarassing death.Internet Kraken said:
Thats a interesting idea, but then the Gobbos would likely just slaughter it like they did the zombies. However, the deadly blood would likely mass slaughter the goblins ofterwards- BUT THEN youd have to dead with the deadly blood yourself, and that would be a pain in the arse.vallorn said:
Hurray, my useless migrant ass has survived his first wave of goblins! ... For now. We'll survive this, though! Reveredtour can survive anything! Right guys? ... Right? This is nothing like that last goblin attack! ...right?
Oh god, why did I migrate to this deathtrap.

I've got a feeling I know how reveredtour is gonna end...
trees, badgers and magma-living denizens are all resistant to magma. not sure about FBs though...vallorn said:well Deadly Blood is no match for Lava Flood!
...badgers? No way.greatorder said:trees, badgers and magma-living denizens are all resistant to magma. not sure about FBs though...vallorn said:well Deadly Blood is no match for Lava Flood!
if this wasn't dwarf fortress i wouldn't believe it either... but it is so Badgers are now awesome.Frozen_Flame said:...badgers? No way.greatorder said:trees, badgers and magma-living denizens are all resistant to magma. not sure about FBs though...vallorn said:well Deadly Blood is no match for Lava Flood!
Except they're not. A quick look at the raws show the badgers have no properties that would make the immune to magma. Dumping one in magma in arena mode quickly causes them to bleed to death. I'm guessing that was just some kind of joke.vallorn said:

finally had the courage to DL dwarf fortress with the lazy newb pack so i can tell whats going on and my god im terrible! i had the fun of dwarves just milling about doing nothing and eventually dying to starvation, then tried adventure mode and got mauled to death by bogeymen, god this is harsh!
