Make some suggestions.
Anything from inverted pyramids to doomsday clocks.

You can create such awesome machines as the "Ocean Destroyer" (instantaneously channels the entire ocean into an aquifer, destroying it). "Self Destruct Lever" (The sky destroyer, underground! Obliterates everything!) and many, many more!

If you manage to capture !!clowns!! you can also build an infernal combustion engine.

Oh man, the magma cannon has already been done!

I was thinking of kicking around a Mako Cannon type device using pumps and pressure, however no idea how to implement it into the game.

I'd totally support the magma shower. Build a channel from a magma pipe up and over into a chamber above the other side of the main entrance bridge. Build a couple hatches in the chamber and have them all controlled by levers. You could pick and choose which gobs you want to fry. Then maybe have a seperate pressurized chamber of water right next to it to make cleanup a snap!

Alternatively: find some way to drain the magma into the earth into a reservoir for recycling.

Recycling? What the bloody hell kinda pansy elf idea is that!?

I was thinking of the mist generator converted for use with magma for goblin invasions.

What we need now are zoos and other happiness generation areas. With waterfalls.

Can cave-in traps kill 'clowns'? If so we should undertake to destroy them and claim their riches!

Loyal · 01-09-2010, 04:14 PM

Yeah, but a crossbow squad works just as well provided you get them out of their ambush first.

I guess if you could get a hammerdwarf exceptionally heat resistant (Full suit of adamantine armor maybe?) that'd work even better.

I don't know if they can be killed by a cave-in, but I did see someone use a cave-in to knock them unconscious in a room full of cage traps, capturing them all in cages.
