I once tried a fort like that. Or rather it would flood the upper, non essential, areas with lava. Unfortunately, events clearly out of my control caused a somewhat premature eruption and pretty much everyone died. I had the lava channels dug before even bedrooms even, to make sure I wasn't building my base in the way. It was only when lava starting flowing the, uh, flaws in the design became apparent

D&D prompt: “The most delicate glasswear in the realm is heated and carved with such precision and care that it could be considered magical- glass vanities being able to hold infinite amounts of makeup and hygiene items, and glass coffins make their held deceased immune to spells that would cause them to rise from the dead. A great Storm Giant king can only be brought to its knees by a Dwarven-made axe of this green glass, but the greatest blowers live in a society of pacifists, honoring their heroic ancestors by living in a place where no one else thought possible. They’ve recently lost two children to marauding undead.”

Just want to say that, aside from your great narration awe-inspiring challenges in the already pretty challenging game, I really enjoy your architecture. It's not just ingenious traps, as in this episode, but room shapes and arrangement - it's just aesthetically pleasing. I hope you'll continue making and sharing amazing stories like this.

Thanks! That's exactly why I love mixing these challenges with storytelling.

It does amuse me that the pacifists stylise their rooms after arrowheads. I look forwards to watching more of your work!

Trap making is a game of precision. A lot of mistakes I noticed were corrected later on but the lost time started to add up. The first trap was a bit larger than it needed to be to stop the first waves of aggression. After that a universally lethal project should have been undertaken at a new point to connect both the surface and the depths. A multichannel pitfall trap with magma and a failover is usually the best way to ensure no matter how big or vast your enemies they all get cooked to a perfect 165°F. Would also recommend stationing a permanent watch stander with live in quarters near this point to avoid accidently deep frying guests. A tertiary failover/backdoor can be built to enable access while still forcing invaders through the bottleneck. As for trying to play DF pacifist, existence is an act of violence and if violence is going to be the final answer you should endeavor to get there first. Raiding parties is the only way to ensure the undead hordes don't grow to the point the world itself dies. The only way Godmirror could have lived was for the necromancer tower to have fallen. Best lesson to learn here that you never touched on, build failovers into your traps. All of them. Better to have it and never need it than need it and never have it. Also cage traps can be a fun and exiting way to both voluntell guests what to do as well as prevent possible workplace accidents that dwarfs are prone to. Would enjoy seeing you try this again while expanding upon what you learned with a goal in mind next time of destroying the necromancer trade center.

Yeah, I tend to never use traps, so a lot of mine were poorly designed. Definitely some lessons learned, though I'm not currently planning to revisit this. It was fun to learn, but I feel like it'd be a little more boring if everything was perfect and there wasn't any real threat.

Ah yes, the boatmurdered defense strategy

You know what you missed when designing all these traps? A red, glowing water feature that is turned on when an invasion or elf caravan arrives. They are extremely tricky to get right but that mist gives a great mood buff to the defenders. It's also not dependant on enemy size. Bonus points if you safely put in windows to the emergency burrow on one side of the entrance chamber so your citizens can watch those violations of the Geneva convention that are keeping them safe.

If you run the world gen for a long time, in this case 2k years, necromancers and werebeasts will generally become more powerful. It takes a while for the curses and their grimoires to be made, then for someone to become a necromancer, then for them to conquer people, etc. When I was genning these worlds, I made 8 worlds and there were always 2+ necromancers at 2k years in. Just make sure to lower the pop cap when generating worlds so it doesn't take 8 years.
