As It Turns Out Bronze Colossus Can Level Up Attributes
« on: December 30, 2021, 12:21:25 am »
In arena mode I managed to level up even willpower.

While that thing is not supposted to be organic it wasn't programmed to have anything special about it's attributes and is threatened by the game as if it could improve them with physical workout.

So this is what makes it gain improved accuracy over time against my stat grinding adventurers.

Is this a bug or a feature?

Does anybody know how to become an elephant man in adventure mode? I literally did all advanced world settings possible to increase chances.

Is there a reason why a moving non-organic should not be able to learn from experience?

There is something to be said about, if the stakes are as high, maybe reconsider your certitudes. One has to be aggressively allistic to feel entitled to be able to trust. But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.

"Attributes" means Strength, Endurance, Toughness, Agility, &c.

I guess that could be interpreted as learning, but bronze colossi lack the CAN_LEARN token and thus are not actually intelligent enough to learn skills or the likes.

Yeah, I did not specifically mean "learning skills". Mostly I was pointing out that "it is a not a machine, but something else".

Why not allow the colossus to gain in physical attributes due to combat, in the same way that animals do? And in opposition, if they cannot heal, should they be able to improve their body?
