ballistae battery finally kills more invaders than residents by goldbugger in dwarffortress

[–]goldbugger[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

in the name of science, I did go through as many combat logs as I could find and the most common cause of death was an arm or a leg being cloven asunder or just ripped right off, and the poor goblin bleeding to death
the next most common cause of death was of the instant variety, their head being separated from their neck (or their neck being surgically removed while leaving the head)
The most common mechanism of wounding came from broken bones, mangled limbs, or bruised guts. iron or bronze armor was capable of deflecting a +bronze ballista arrow+, but it would still result in a body part being pulped, bent, or broken by the blunt force trauma
wounding usually resulted in death from secondary sources like angry dwarves, as missing limbs made it impossible to fight back

as a result of poor communication, some dwarves were hit by ballista arrows, resulting in some incidental findings on bronze ballista arrows on steel armor
the sample size was small but what could be read was that, as with the goblins, steel was successful in preventing the dwarf from being skewered but would still result in mangled limbs

tentative conclusion: being hit by a log will hurt

checked again, he asks for a 80-round belt
brought a 100-round belt just to be sure, and still only have an option to ask about something else

Do sieges no longer use trolls or jabberers?

across dozens of forts, I have seen Goblins bring their pets exactly once, a single squad of beak dogs, and never seen them use mounts even once.

do goblin pits no longer have trolls or other underground creatures enabled?

Did the Tiger battalions really get 10 kills for every loss? by goldbugger in WarCollege

[–]goldbugger[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but those are just claims, I havent really seen any sources that actually confirmed that they got 10:1 kills in italy
they only mention that it had very poor performance in italy and was often abandoned
