Unkillable colossuem monsters
« on: November 02, 2014, 08:43:37 pm »

the titles says it all and i dont know what to do i called in the blizzard units w/e that option is called and everything was fine my guys wrecked house UNTIL 2 blizzard men showed up and became unkillable so now i have 6 dwarves standing around broken blizzard men with all their bones shattered and literally a list that goes on for like 30 seconds of scars because all it says is i am bruising them and no real damage is being done and i know i can kill them i have before in the wild multiple times so now im waiting for my dwarves to go insane from being outside in the winter and just start killing each other :/

the fighters i have are 2 hammerlords 2 swordlords and 2 wrestlers the hammers are denting the muscle the swords are cutting/denting the muscle and the wrestles are punching and denting the muscle they have maxed pretty much everything military related they can and are legendary +5 and then some in their weapons and most of them are named weapons and i am at a loss

i have also checked the raws on the blizzard men to make sure something was out of place and i didnt see anything out of place

Large cutting weapons, blizzard men must be bissected or their heads removed. Thats exactly how they work in vanilla. There are several creatures like that, grimelings are another example.

If you need to kill it, use dfhacks slayrace. Just select it and type "slayrace him".

omg thank you so much  :D :D :D and i guess that explains it although not sure how i killed them before then especially since my swordsmen  have long swords no idea since they auto attack the head they just cant cut through the muscle although i guess it was a good thing they wouldnt die now i have a nearly unkillable squad of dwarves lvl 76 fighting FTW

You could try and make some two handed swords and temporarily switch your two sword lords to using them.

Those big blades aren't as good in normal fights (because no shield can be deadly), but for these cases and traps, those are great.

On the other hand, you could use this opportunity to train a few new military, at least the weapon skill.
