dragon fire is quite effective. So yeah, unkillable. Hmm, unless he walked onto a trap with 10 serrated candy discs...

The one I set on fire with magma was still burning thirty minutes later with no ill effects so they burn forever unless hit by dragonfire.

Actually, since it's based on a Forest Titan, I probably should add TRAP_AVOID. Do Titans have Natural Skill levels?

Eh, other megabeasts do and in for a penny, in for a pound.

[Inarius]

Hum, so this titan is not killable...I think that will be !!fun!! when it will come !

[Reudh]

Your only hope is adamantine armoured and armed legendary fighters. And expect casualties, even then.

[Corai]

Your only hope is adamantine steel armoured and armed legendary fighters. And expect casualties, even then.

Adamantine is not very good for blunt-protection. Steel armor is better vs wildlife.

[Reudh]

Steel armour, adamantine swords. That's the best bet in that case.
I stand corrected. :p

[Ubiq]

Dragonfire isn't any more effective than magma as it turns out.

Thirty Grand Master Sword/Armor/Shield dwarves with adamantine helm, breastplate, mail shirt, gauntlets, high boots, greaves, sword, and shield.
Two dwarves with similar set up but steel armor.

Vs.

Two Diamond Behemoths.

Results:

Gore - crippling injury 75% of the time upon contact (severed spine each time), 25% lethal.
Kick -  lethal 97% of time upon contact, minimum launch distance of four tiles. One dwarf survived being kicked once, but not twice.
Push - shattered bone 100% of the time upon contact.

Survivors: One uninjured Diamond Behemoth.

It probably would have been both if the first one hadn't simply spammed webs while the other was actually killing dwarves.

[Inarius]

Well, one diamond titan is rare, two is very unlikely to come, let alone together !

How many dwarves full equipped and ready to shut down ONE monster like this one ?

[Reudh]

Judging by the results, I'd say 10-15 Legendary Swordsdwarf/Armor user/Shield User in steel armor and wielding adamantine blades and masterpiece shields.

Expect heavy casualties.

[Loud Whispers]

Hmmm... You're testing this with 30 Dwarves right?

Now Inarius, how many Dwarves happen to be in your fortress?

I see only one outcome, with one way forward.

[Inarius]

I limit myself to 40 adults...so the only way is trapping. Anyway, the probability that this titan comes is 100%, but only for a very very long time. I have the time to die from a lot of other causes before.

[Loud Whispers]

Won't this Titan not show up until you have at least 80 Dwarves?

[Murgy]

I am launching a big study on titans right now in World-Gen
(glacier titans can live better than hills titans)

Personally, I would attribute that to the decreased likelihood of settlements and activity in frozen polar regions, particularly glaciers.

(even the Star-ruby made titan, who was blown by a human hunter 300 years ago).

Kinky!

 

[Mudcrab]

I honestly don't think worldgen is anything to go on concerning Titan survivability..

Its definitely really random

[Ubiq]

Well, one diamond titan is rare, two is very unlikely to come, let alone together !

How many dwarves full equipped and ready to shut down ONE monster like this one ?

It really depends on how the titan goes about it; if they just stand back and spray webs, it's a lot easier for dwarves to kill it than if it actually goes on offense.

[Inarius]

Yes it's sure that glacier titan survive better because there will fight less.

About the 80 dwarves titans, it's true. I haven't said that i actually HAD this titan, i said that i saw him in legends mode of my world, and asked what to do in case of...

But i think that their survivability is very random. I have seen blob made of water who killed more than 100 people, which is very unlikely to happen.
