Shenanigans in Arena Mode!
« on: July 01, 2014, 10:03:19 pm »
What kind of shenanigans do you do when you just want to play with Dwarf Fortress combat? I normally pit myself vs a group of [INSERT WEAKER THAN HUMAN ENEMY HERE] and hack it to pieces. Sometimes I pit giant armies against each other to see which one wins. I pitted 100 humans, clad in steel armor but using copper long-swords against a Bronze Colossus. Had to record the results and here's what I got. Dramatization, of course.

You must kill yourself before you kills you.

A valiant effort by House Wilhelm, but how did the colossus get back up out of the water?

I don't know how it all works, I just throw molten science at the wall and see what ignites.

I have no idea. Unless there's non-visual height or he was covered by the wave of warriors.

I really like making massive obsidian slabs floating in the air and watching it cave-in.  For some reason it generates every inorganic dust in the game including thralling mist, which is pretty fun to watch.

I noticed something.
The humans looked like dwarves when not corpses.
I assume it's your thing that makes it look different causing that.

I love how when the Bronze Colossus falls in the water and keeps climbing back out, all the humans are like "Good job we got him guys.. WAIT NO THERE HE IS- No we got him good jo- OH GOD THERE HE IS AGAI- Ok we got hi- NO WAIT."

Also props to the humans who just got shot outwards and just jumped back into the frey.

I feel you should try this again with slightly better swords. I don't thin copper will ever be able to do reliable damage to the colossus no matter how many humans there are.

Bronze Collosi and other titans/megabeasts can step up vertical walls without needing a ramp at all. Not sure about FBs
