* You can build these in ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]''. In addition to old standbys like the "stone-fall trap" and weapon traps loaded with ten +iron warhammers+, a bit of creativity leads to things like the Dwarven Atomsmasher (a drawbridge that slams down on an enemy, obliterating them from existence due to a [[Good Bad Bug]]) or artificially-engineered cave-ins.
