According to my research(read: dropping a lot of sponges in a river whit great master everything dwarves in full adamantite w/ adamantite great axes, getting bored, spawning a bronze collossus and a few ducks and watching amused as the ducks splat into the walls), they CAN give in to pain, but after a while they just get such high willpower (usually!), thus making them invicable to pain.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Are zombie sponges still immobile?

...Yes...

Socks inspire the same sort of emotions in dwarfs that Helen of Troy inspired in the Achaean Greeks. Although it is said that Helen's face launched a thousand ships, socks have surely launched a million ultimately-fatal Store Owned Item tasks.

He he he.  Yeah, it almost looks done...  alas...  those who are in your teens, hold on until your twenties...  those in your twenties, your thirties...  others, cling to life as you are able...<P>It should be pretty fun though.

I've pitted one against a sea serpent. It's been going for a good ten minutes now, at 300fps. These are pretty much Giozgins fluffballs, minus the syndrome.

EDIT: It's been going for half an hour now. Still no change.

New test : see how lethal you can make giant sponges by changing two tags  :P

Take immobile off, add curious beast: guzzler, and watch your dwarves weep as it flollops inexoribly into the booze stockpile.

Fun facts:

Regular sponges are [BODY_SIZE:0:0:50000], about the size of a fully-grown sheep.

Giant sponges are 11.2x larger (in volume), about the size of a fully-grown horse or cow.

Just did some testing in the arena, a raised giant sponge is pretty much a necromancers best friend. It takes just as much punishment, if not more, than a living giant sponge, and can knock candy-coated supersoldiers unconscious in a single hit.

The modders have discovered polymorphing. The only real question is what to use as the trigger for a "polymorph into (giant) sponge" effect.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

You could introduce a custom were creature strain on a migrant provided you edit the raws to allow sponges to breath on land.
In adventure mode that would be game breaking, especially ambushes.

Tell them it was the Esoteric title, if you live!
You turn into a giant sea sponge!
the bandits fire 3192 copper bolts at you, but they are absorbed! (paraphrased, yes I know)

you could just sit there shoving peoples necks in half, tanking damage, and generally being awesome.
