Weaponize my bronze colossus!
« on: November 10, 2011, 12:19:26 am »
So a bronze colossus got caught in one of my badger traps. Now the question is what to do with him. It so happens that I'm thinking of going down to the circus. How can I get the colossus to pay the price of admission for me?

I can't think of any way to use him to pave the way to the big top, but you could move the cage to a deep, dark, narrow hallway and link it to a lever. When the clowns come out to do their job, you pull the lever and the colossus gets free entertainment. Really, though, I think it would be lots of Fun if that was your only line of defense...

It's a bronze collossus.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't need weaponising.

All right, I'm on it. Does anyone know if the colossus and the clowns will even fight each other?

They won't be part of the same entity, so they'll probably see each other as hostile, but most likely won't beeline for each other. What you can do, though, is chain up a bunch of lure animals somewhere roughly equidistant from the colossus cage and the circus, spread out a little, preferably over a few z-levels, so they don't get immediately slaughtered, that way deadly dust clowns will have a chance to aggro the colossus, and they'll probably do themselves a fair few mischiefs in the process.
