Have you tried to steal the bandits and stuff them in your backpack before they can throw you?

I did not, however this would prove difficult because not only do only one of my arms work (bandits) but I only have the small wrestling skill of grand master which makes it hard to steal people.

With Advfort ability to deconstruct in adventure mode, it could be a hilarious project to steal a castle by deconstructing it block by block to rebuild it somewhere else

If I'd be more of a masochist I'd try do this. The building part is fine and I've done quite large structures with advfort piece by piece, but my God the amount of time to deconstruct a castle would be crazy.

...Though, you could dig under it with advfort and cause a cave-in. That should be quicker.

What in the diggity dog is an Advfort?

It's a DFHack tool, which allows you to do lots of fort mode things in adventure mode: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=123944.0

DFHack is a gift from the gods!

I have never touched fortress mode, so I am pretty sure I can't use that to steal a castle.

[Eric Blank]

Oh, but you could! Power overwhelming!

I was going to say I saw while reading the comic Nodwick, they "stole" a castle by lifting it into the sky with magic balloons. Just lead the bandits out first and haul their home away!

[appleappleapple]

Balloons? In dwarf fortress? Preposterous!

You’re in luck!  I just found this podcast over on YouTube, where they go over how to steal a castle in adventure mode.  Hope this helps!

You see, I would completely trust you, however when I was about to click the link, the ancient words of my 3rd grade computer class teacher told me to not click on links from the internet made by other people, even though every link is made by people. I cannot betray them since they gave me a lollipop I think, so can you explain how to do it on this forum?

My ancient words still prevail.

Sometimes not clicking a link is the best thing you can do.

No wheelbarrows, but we've got this bunch of anvils and picks lying around.
