So, recently I got back into DF, skipping straight to DF2012 from 23a.

After some screwing around in Adventure and Arena mode, I got an idea. Namely, wanting to play as something a bit more stupidly overpowered as an adventurer.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Five words: playing as a Bronze Colossus.

I started digging through the raws for my current save, and opted to take one of the civs and add Bronze Colossi to the list of creatures on that faction. I chose the "subterranean animal men" faction due to it already being set to allow multiple types of creatures in it. I didn't wish to risk screwing up one of the adventure-ready civs since they are single-creature only.

After that it was a simple matter of slipping the [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE] tag into the animalmen civ, and boom. I can now play Bronze Colossi outsiders in adventure mode. And beastmen too, but that's hardly the point.

I did, however, also do some changing to the raws for Bronze Colossi as well. Namely removing the [NOTHOUGHT] tag and giving it [INTELLIGENT] instead. Only reason for that was so they can develop skills.

So...your thoughts on this terrible idea? Any suggestions? Should I retire a whole group of these big bastards in the nearest town, start up another adventurer, and raise up an army?

Why? It's not like you need more than one to steamroll entire civilizations.

I made a man made from steel twice as big as a dragon with lots of fun interactions. It's much more fun to play as.

Because if it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing.

If anything I've learned to fear lashers and ranged units. Even a Colossus isn't immune to getting limbs carved off by some random bandit with a scourge. D:

why stop at bronze colossi go big and cram as many interactions on to it.

Tempting. I did try my hand at modding in other creatures, wanting to go even more over the top.

If I had my way there'd be Adamantine Colossi too.
