Dwarf Fortress Megathread! - Necro'd enough to count as a vampire
Muffinmix:
Have you guys experimented with the minecart system at all? It seems very niche in applications, such as launching magma at invaders or driving marsdwarves around your fortress in circles to shoot everything up.

the most i've used it for it dropping wood down 12 floors so i don't need long hauls. and once for bringing up metal 75 z levels.
Corbiere:
I managed to make a circle around my fortress walls, and set some marksdwarves going round during a fairly large elven siege (I got fed up with trading about three DF years ago and now everyone hates me because I killed their merchants and stole the goods (except the outpost liason)). I'm not sure what happened to route, it may have been broken/stolen, but the last I saw of my highly skilled marksdwarves was them flying off the fortress into a crowd of elves. The carts did some serious injuries, but so did the elves.
Message from this encounter: Do not let dwarves fly off castles. They will die. You may however use minecarts to decapitate elves.
Yeah, that's about it for minecarts in my fortress. I used them to drop some magma into my torture chamber, but the goblin within it has gone berserk and I can't get in there to clear the magma.
Bravo:
My ranger just went berserk, killed a cat and then suffocated himself.

A typical game of Dwarf Fortress.
