- This page is one of several inter-related articles on the broader topic of defending your fortress and your dwarves. Security design focuses on how to turn the physical layout and architecture of a fort into a defensible whole. For a general overview of the threats that will challenge your fortress and things to consider when preparing a standard defence, see the defense guide. For complex traps that are not a minor/optional part of a larger defensive plan (but might be adapted or plugged into one), see trap design. For specific advice on how to get your soldiers prepared for any threat, see military design.

General suggestions
General designs should include suggestions that can be «plugged in» to a part of any typical fortress, and/or can be modified to suit a number of purposes.
Any fortress defenses need to be able to protect your dwarves while outside, whether that’s military or civilians. On the truly labor intensive end, you can fully enclose areas of wilderness you wish to utilize in walls or behind moats with the only access being from within your base. Hostile creatures, even 'invisible' ones like ambushers, start at map edges and travel across the map — they will only spawn in regions where they can path to a dwarf. By controlling which areas have access to paths to dwarves, you can force all hostile forces to appear in predictable and limited killing zones and battlefields that you control.
Meeting area as defense
Especially in the very early game, you can use a meeting zone to attract animals and idle dwarves to a given area. This makes a pretty poor defense in general, but it’s not a bad way to create an alarm system against minor threats such as thieves near your stockpiles, at least until you have something better (which won’t be hard). Remove the zone later, or it attracts idle dwarves and children. Note that until you designate something else, the site of your wagon (even once deconstructed) is a default meeting area.
Сторожевые животные
Воры и засады остаются невидимыми до тех пор, пока их кто-нибудь не обнаружит — dwarf, караван, дикое или домашнее животное. Как только это произойдет (даже если это был суслик на дальнем краю карты), игра будет приостановлена с соответствующим сообщением. Поэтому обычной практикойявляется использование животных в качестве сигнализации — Вы может посадить их на цепь или организовать пастбище на входах в крепость.
Есть несколько вариантов расположения сторожевых псов (или котов, кому как нравится). В коридоре шириной в 1-2 клетки достаточно одного животного. В 3-х клеточном коридоре его необходимо поместить в середине прохода, или можно разместить двух животных у каждой стены, как показано на рисунке.
========== R = привязанная собака +++1R1++++ 1 = территория, контролируемая 1 собакой +++bbb++++ 2 = территория, контролируемая 2 собакой +++2R2++++ b = территория, контролируемая обеими собаками ==========
Обе расстановки исключают незамеченное вторжение, поскольку враг не может пройти коридор, не наступив на тайл с собакой или соседний с ним. Караваны могут свободно проходить через привязанных животных и пастбища . Сторожевые животные также могут обнаружить невидимых врагов на один z-уровень ниже себя (so long as there is no intervening floor), поэтому при недостатке места можно разместить животное над проходом в крепость.
Если Вы только не испытываете восторга от регулярной гибели своих животных, Вы должны предпринять ряд мер для их безопасности.
- Размещайте из за углом или U-образным поворотом, так вражеские лучники не смогут расстреливать животных с расстояния.
- Не используйте животных в качестве первой линии обороны; располагайте их глубже по проходу, за несколькими ловушками.
- Располагайте их во внутренней области, чтобы летающим существам приходилось опускаться на их уровень для атаки.
- Consider using a pressure plate at the extreme entrance to seal off the hall further down and keep your guard animal(s) safe. Thieves won’t trigger them, but the animals can deal with those — ambushes will trigger them, and you don’t want them getting to your guard animals.
Remember that anything short of a megabeast is not a good match for an armoured opponent.Требует проверки While watching your tame grizzly bear or alligator tear a thief apart has an amusement value, watching the goblin maceman send them flying across the map, mangled and dying, has less.
Охотничьи животные могут обнаруживать врагов на большем расстоянииТребует проверки, чем их обычные или боевые собратья.
Defending the edge
You’re not allowed to wall within five squares of the edge of the map… but this rule has more loopholes than the US federal income tax code. Until more versatile attackers emerge, it is not clear where effective play ends and exploit begins. (Note: we disclaim any responsibility for damage involving harpies and skeletal giant eagles)
- To start with, you can channel the second square from the edge. In the days of wagons, this used to block the appearance of trade caravans or their movement along the edge of the map. If barriers are used to prevent a Trade Depot near the edge of the map from being accessed from any other direction, caravans will be forced to appear in the un-channeled or bridged section of the edge. Your depot can be ready with stockpiles of favored trade goods, offset behind a wall to protect from archers a few squares away.
- You can also build drawbridges all the way up to the edge. A long, skinny, raised bridge is effectively a wall; however, it looks the same whether it’s open or closed.
- If you channel to the second square from the edge where the edge square contains a tree then you have an impassible barrier while the tree survives.
- You can with some work use Obsidian casting to wall to the map edge
Train up diggers in soft soil and you can surround most of the map with a moat by the time the first migrants arrive. Be very, very wary of cave-ins, especially on highly sloped diagonal terrain — note that a downward ramp does not support adjacent floor tiles, and no tiles are supported diagonally.
Diplomats have a strange habit of appearing well inside the moat, but need to be allowed out when finished. [Note: On one 6x7 map horses and other animals were also found to appear one embark unit (48 squares) left and up from the lower right corner, inside or atop the walls of a 5x5 doorless enclosure. Defend all leaks…]
Design considerations
- The moat should be designed to prevent entry except by falling and exit except by climbing, from both sides. (Otherwise inside and outside forces might be tempted to shake hands from adjacent squares, with much annoyance) Despite an abundance of giant corkscrews, grates, ballista bolts, etc., no one has ever invented the ladder, so this keeps anyone from entering or leaving the rest of the map.
- The moat should be dry, because sooner or later you will be tempted to let someone visit the edge to loot goblins or hunt varmints, and next thing you know your Legendary Weaponsmith who outpaces all your smelters will be whiling away his time carrying a leather thong to a stockpile when he runs into a groundhog and decides to react by jumping into the moat and holding his breath beneath the shallow waters until he drowns. (As always, the notice that he has drowned is the first you’ll hear of it)
- The moat doesn’t actually need to be adjacent to the edge of the map except when conserving valuable surface terrain (such as trees on a map that is mostly rock). It is easier to free trapped miners when they can dig further outward, and placing the moat on the sixth or further square in from the edge allows further modification with floodgates, walls, and doors. Any channeling permanently changes the dug-out tile to «Light Above Ground», which restricts these features from tiles near the edge even if floors are later constructed to close the space.
- Because migrants might turn up near wild animals or be followed closely by goblins, it is nice to wall off the last square in shorter segments. Each one or two segments are served by a separate lever bridge. This can be done by:
- Natural barriers. The map edge is mostly continuous ramp, but occasionally a break appears on an uneven surface, by a river channel, etc.
- Trees. If left intact they separate any fertile patches into many small segments.
- Floors. Although you can’t directly Remove Stairs/Ramps at the edge, building a single square of floor on an up-ramp at the edge will destroy that up-ramp (and the down-ramp above it) and block movement around the edge. Building a square of floor on a down-ramp and then removing it creates a one-way path.Требует проверки
- You can build drawbridges *along* the edge and raise them. Combined with a channel right next to the drawbridge, this can completely obstruct passage of anything which can’t destroy the bridge.
- You can build up ramps at the edge, which may disrupt passage?Needs testing
- Fortifications carved into the outer edge rock the next layer down? It may be possible to carve fortifications all the way around the edge of a rocky map, allowing entrance only onto designated bridges surrounded by moat and with a steep drop beneath, with some sized appropriately to admit siegers only and one other sized for a trade wagon. In this way combat can be reduced to a simple thumbs up/thumbs down decision at the lever.Probably not.
- Migrants, thieves, and sieges turn up all around the map, and can be allowed in by remote controlled bridges. (Doors will not hold back building destroyers, and remote lever control is needed because other gates can be «taken by invaders» and become non-lockable) Invaders can be allowed in by small groups and fought if desired, or preferably admitted into underground zigzags with a door waiting to be locked at the far end once they get close to it. If most of the invaders can be trapped inside such spaces, the remainder will stand and be wiped out completely without retreating.
Простая 5x5 Башня Лучников
Постройте башню специально для размещения лучников на достаточном расстоянии от главной линии обороны, это позволит им открыть огонь до того, как враги доберутся до ворот. Башня может быть пристроена к стене, или стоять отдельно, и иметь доступ только из проходящего под ней подземного туннеля. Такие туннели могут тянуться по всей карте и им достаточно ширины всего в 1 клетку, если не ожидается большого траффика. Постройте стены до второго или третьего этажа, затем пробейте в них бойницы, через которые будут стрелять ваши лучники. Для пущего эффекта можно построить barracks, archery target, food продовольственный склад, колодец и/или столовую в башне или рядом с ней и добавить дверь или люк, чтобы запереть лучников в башне. Тогда они не будут уходить далеко для отдыха и питания.
ЗАМЕЧАНИЕ: Если в башне будет больше одного этажа с бойницами, то на всех этих этажах (кроме последнего) выгоднее построить стену и пробить в ней бойницу, чем строить бойницу на пустом месте. Дело в том, что построенная бойница не создает проходную клетку уровнем выше, а по стене, в которой пробита бойница, можно пройти сверху - это сильно упрощает строительство угловых стен следующего этажа.
В статье mega construction предложенный дизайн считается саммым простым. Как показано на схеме, доступ в башню предусматривается только из подземного туннеля. Однако, вы без труда можете добавить дверь или подъемный мост со рвом.
При размещении нескольких башен помните, что дальность стрельбы лучников составляет 20 клеток. Поэтому, в зависимости от того, нужен вам перекрестный огонь или нет, рекомендованное расстояние межу внешними стенами башен лежит в диапазоне от 15 до 38 клеток. Лучники хуже стреляют вверх, поэтому, размещая своих лучников на втором этаже, вы не только не даете вражеским лучникам подойти вплотную к бойницам и использовать их против вас, но и ослабляете их огонь. Ров, вырытый вокруг башни, отодвинет вражеских лучников еще дальше, но вместе с ними дальше окажутся и нестреляющие враги, таким образом несколько снизится точность попадания ваших лучников.)

Эта башня позволяет разместить на этаже по три лучника на каждой стороне и может содержать столько этажей с лучниками, сколько вы захотите. самая верхняя лестница направлена только вниз - чтобы можно было постоить над ней крышу. Впрочем, никто не мешает поставить вместо нее лестницу "вверх-вниз". При возведении стен не забывайте начинать с угловых клеток (см. Башни.)
Для простой башни с одним уровнем для лучников потребуется около 50 камней или блоков, плюс 25 для каждого дополнительного этажа с лучниками.
В башнях большего размера (или такой же, но с увеличенными верхними этажами) можно разместить barracks, archery target и другие комнаты. Можно просто расширить полы, постоить стену по периметру и получить расширенную опору для следующего этажа. Добавьте лестниц (их лучше располагать рядом друг с другом), если ожидается высокий трафик. )
Siege engine turrets
If it’s big enough, build a siege engine inside a pillbox. Since siege engines cannot fire at targets higher or lower than them, the device needs to be on the same z-level as any targets, but this could be across a large gap to a nearby plateau. Only a single tile of fortifications is needed to fire through the wall. Position the tower to fire where invaders tend to congregate.
You will want to guarantee that enemies do not approach the position and scare the civilian operators — this distance has been reported to be up to 20 tiles or so. Dig a moat, have some intervening valley or build some secondary fortifications to keep enemies at a distance. Unlike walls, fortifications on the same z-level do not block siege engine missiles, at any range. Unfortunately, if an enemy can walk up to them, fortifications will protect enemies from your archery fire (but not siege engine fire.)
Control Room
Have one (large?) room (or several stacked on top of each other) for all defense-related levers, and central to idle dwarves — near your meeting areas and nobles quarters, with one or more halls or stairs leading to it for quick access. Connect a lever to all those doors and hatches as the first lever to be pulled in an emergency, and the respondent will lock themselves in for you, guaranteeing that they will then have nothing else to do but stay there and pull levers.
It may also be an idea to have a second lever to at least one door, for emergency access. And possibly to add a stockpile of booze and food or a well for longer sieges.
AI abuse
Taking advantage of the game’s Artificial Intelligence and pathfinding is a whole article in itself. Try leaving a door un-forbidden during an attack. When the bad guys approach the door, forbid it, and the enemy will wander off. Unlock it again, and they turn around and head back towards the door again. You can get enemies to march back and forth over a set of traps this way, or lure them deep into a complex trap. This could be fully automated via pressure plates if you’re feeling adventurous.
Bait animal
Restraining or pasturing a sacrificial animal just outside your walls, but within range of your marksdwarves and/or siege engines, can lure an enemy into attacking that while you cut them down. Make sure to place a pattern of some walls (or statues, see below) so enemy archers cannot simply shoot the creature from a safe distance.
Fortifications
Adding a ring of fortifications to help defend the animal against missile fire will keep melee troops away, but invite archers to come adjacent to the fortifications — and under your walls and crossbows. If you allow any path, the melee troops will try to follow it to the animal — be creative with that fact.
Traps
Surround the animal with traps to kill or capture approaching goblins.
Build a long, narrow, and twisty passage, accessible from the outside, possibly even unconnected to your fortress. Build as many simple traps as you like. Place a bait animal inside. Enemy attackers walk right in, and get torn apart by the traps. If any manage to make it to the end, and kill the useless animal, they’re surrounded by traps, and no closer to your fortress.
If the animal is underground, you can build a tunnel above it, channel down, and mark the channel a pit/pond. That way, you can «reload» a new bait animal from the safety of your fortress. Note that this requires using a non-pet-passable door and that falls more than a couple z-levels may injure your bait.
Distractions
Releasing a cage full of surplus animals will keep the enemy archers very busy. They may even be out of ammo when your wrestlers show up. This can be useful as an emergency measure since the animals need to be stored somewhere anyway.
Vanishing act
Having a linked drawbridge that can open/shut (perhaps on both a lever to open and a nearby pressure plate to close), to lure the enemy in under your guns and then protect the animal when they get too close (for multiple uses.)
Vs. building destroyers
For building destroyers, spare statues can serve the same purpose as bait animals. Building destroyers will hunt down and destroy structures, so carefully placing them can control its movements.
Trap chokepoints
Enemies can be herded by constructed features. If you have a particular zone covered by catapults and would like enemies to pass through it, strategically placed walls can make enemy pathfinding more favorable. A trap occupying a single tile in the middle of a barren plain is likely to never get triggered. However, if walls are placed in a cross-hair pattern around the trap, animals and invaders are much more likely to pass over it as they wander across the map. This can be a very useful trick when capturing wildlife with cage traps.

Pathing slowdowns
If you’re playing on a low-powered machine and you close up all entrances to your fortress during a siege, your game may grind to a halt and/or crash as the siegers continuously fail at pathfinding into your fortress. Bait animals may alleviate this.
Entrance designs
Airlock defenses/buffer zone
Build two walls, each with a drawbridge. Build the trade depot in the buffer zone between them. Keep the outer bridge open, and the inner one closed. When the merchants appear, put crossbows on the walls to guard their approach. Once all the merchants are safely inside, close the outer bridge. Once there’s no enemies left in the buffer zone, open the inner bridge so your civilians can start loading up the depot.
The airlock pattern can be useful even without putting the depot there. Let a few siegers in at a time, and crush them. Reset the traps, Rest up the soldiers, and repeat.
Siege Engines
One effective way to have siege engines (help) defend your fortress is:
One ballista vs 3-wide hallway
══════════════════════════╦═════ Entrance++++++++++++▼·····║▐▀\ Entrance++++++++++++▼·····╬◄═« Entrance++++++++++++▼·····║▐▄/ ══════════════════════════╩═════
Using this design you can cripple an army using a well timed volley. The hallway can be much longer than shown if you wish, as ballistae have extended ranges well over 100 tiles. The channeled area is necessary, as civilians (siege operators are «civilians») will run when enemies get within about 5-10 tiles of them, regardless of the actual path to that threat.
Ballista battery
Three (or more!) ballistae can be put into a «battery» if overlapped — one per tile-width of the hallway, with each ballista aiming down their row of tiles.
╔═══ ══════════════════════════╦══╦══╝▐▀\ Entrance++++++++++++▼·····╬ ╬▐▀\◄═« (~ammo~) Entrance++++++++++++▼·····╬▐▀\◄═«▐▄/ Entrance++++++++++++▼·····╬◄═«▐▄/ (~ammo~) ══════════════════════════╣▐▄/ (~ammo~) ╚═════════
Be sure to use fortifications to prevent dwarves from wandering in front of the ballista to their deaths. If desired (and you have the mandwarfpower to spare), catapults may be put behind those, as they shoot safely over workers in front of them. Although less effective than ballistae, it’s a little more firepower — and that can’t be a bad thing.
For added flavour, channel out one or more tiles down the length of the 3-wide hallway and install retractable bridges. When invaders attack, retract the bridges, forcing them into paths that are only 1-tile wide.
Adding additional channels on either side of the hall will allow stray ammo to be recovered at a later time. Make sure to add locked doors, to prevent siege operators from walking down below enemy archers during a battle.
Flooded entrance
Using a chamber as your entrance alongside a chamber full of water and some machinery you can flood or drain the entrance at will.
The basic premise requires two levers, two screw pumps and two gear assemblies. The amount of power required and the number of additional components needed to get the power to the screw pumps varies depending on distance/setup. One pump is placed to draw from chamber 1 and dump into chamber 2. The other is set in reverse. A gear assembly is placed next to each pump and connected to the main power system. Each gear is linked to a lever. Now at the flip of a switch you can submerge your entrance with water or magma for easy, secure defense against creatures that aren’t amphibious or magma-dwelling, depending.
The picture above shows the design in action. The green pump is currently on while the red has been disconnected through the grey marked axle. The yellow X is just to mark that there is a channel under the axle.
The «Reverse Battlement» design
Level Z+0 (ground):
............... F ═══════════════ O .≥.g≥...g...... R ..≤......g..... T ...g≤..g....... <-- enemies enter here R ..≥......g..... E .g.≤.........g. S ═══════════════ S ...............
Level Z+1 (bridge):
E ·····║+++║····· N +++++║+++║+++++ T ·····╬☺++║····· R ·····╬☺++║····· A ·····╬☺++║····· <-- archers shoot them from up above N ·····╬☺++║····· C ·····╬☺++║····· E +++++║+++║+++++ ·····║+++║·····
Note that in this diagram, the fortress interior is to the West, and the enemy forces come from the East. The marksdwarves on the bridge with the fortifications are one level above the goblins (or other attackers), who will pass under the bridge and charge on toward the west. As the first clear from under the bridge, they are targeted from behind (which is one level above), as the marksdwarves wait in ambush. This allows the marksdwarves to face far fewer enemies at any one time, at least to begin with, and any enemy archers must clear the bridge, take their lumps, and then return fire back the other way before the marksdwarves are ever under attack.
If you’re feeling especially nasty, make the tunnel really long into the mountain and add a ballista battery (see above).
(Adding ammo stockpiles, of your best quality bolts, to these stations will speed up reloading for longer sieges/battles. Even adding small, convenient food and alcohol stockpiles is not unheard of. Some designers place access to/from archery ranges very close to these stations, for faster deployment.)
Twisty maze
A maze of turns and blindspots patrolled by quality military can be a very formidable defense. Wide enough for wagons to pass though, but with no clear shots for any ranged weapons. Missile weapons do have a minimum range, so if a target is closer than that range, they will instead just charge to melee — and meet a dwarf with a much better melee skill. Downside to this is that you’d be mixing it up in melee all the time, but so long as you have at least 10 dwarves greeting the goblins as one coherent mass, you should win.
Variations on the twisty maze include:
- A wagon-wide twisty maze, and a not-so-twisty 1-tile wide hall o’traps, with a drawbridge that can force one or the other as the only path into your fortress.
- Making the side of the maze into fortifications, with a channel separating the fortifications from the actual floor of the maze, and having your archery targets on the other side of the fortifications so your marksdwarves can practice. When the goblins round the corner, they charge through a hail of crossbow bolts, and drop dead.
Forced Detour
This particular design works well with plenty of archers, siege engines, and other ranged weaponry. A walled maze gives melee an advantage, but an open maze gives advantage to ranged attackers.

The 3 tile wide lane is for traders, so if your trade depot is located before this set-up, cut it down to a 1 tile lane to slow down invaders more.
Bridge Use
An example of bridge construction tactics to deal with vile forces of any size. (See picture).
- Bridge 1 seals off the entire base
- Bridge 2 forces everyone to take the long, winding, heavily trapped/defended path of death.
- Bridge 3 seals the inside of the fortress
Clever triggering of the bridges allows you to break the hostile forces into smaller chunks to be trapped in the courtyard while being caught in traps and a crossfire of arrows from the fortifications around.
Pulling it all together
Using ballistae, marksdwarves, bridges, traps, and guard animals in tandem brings up a few more considerations.
- Given the tendency of ballistae to pierce through enemies and knock out an entire row, forcing invaders along narrow paths can score multiple hits per shot. This is the most efficient use of these valuable pieces.
- Be careful about positioning your marksdwarves and ballistae opposite each other as an unlucky bolt might pierce a battlement on the other side.
- Ballista are operated by Dwarf civilians. Therefore putting your ballista right next to the path the friendly neighbors use, will cause your BallistaDwarfs to run off right as you want them to fire.
- Adding a stair back at the entrance of a trap hallway allows dwarves to access loot that falls; it also forces anything that dodges off the edge to walk the entire length again.
- Filling the walkway with traps is also highly recommended. Throwing random weapon traps around the map in high-traffic areas isn’t a bad idea. Traps are cheap and effective, use them liberally.
- War animals are convenient for catching thieves. They also serve as bait. Don’t place them where enemy archers can reach them easily, and keep them well out of range of the inevitable hailstorm of bolts.
- Bridges, and for non-building-destroyers, doors, can be used to control the movement of enemies.
- Don’t use cage traps as the front line of defense. Currently, a goblin squad will follow its leader indefinitely, and if its leader is caught in a cage the rest of the goblins will just stand there until they find something to do rather than exploring the lovely, pointy playground you’ve created.
