Hello all, I'm a long time DFer but this is my first post on the forums. I tried searching for this idea but I couldn't find it so I hope I'm not bringing up old ideas.
What if giants/titans/anything big enough had the ability to throw other things as objects? Whether it's trees or boulders, large monsters would essentially view anything under a certain weight as ammo. This might also be applicable to creatures that are large but smaller than giants (I.E. A Troll can throw a dwarf, table, barrel, etc but not a tree or a boulder). I know that dwarves throw things during tantrums (i'll never forget one moment in a fort long gone where I inadvertently witness a dwarf begin a tantrum by chucking the barrel he was hauling down the mountain) and you can do it in adventure mode so why not give certain mobs the option? I think it would be neat to see dwarves getting tossed about, or watching a giant break into an outpost or tower and begin throwing tables and windows from the top. Or to see some fort's prized champion get beaned with a tree or a really big rock. I dont know or understand coding at all, but couldn't you use similar method as what's used for catapults?
*edit* I also think it would be neat to have the option of a giant picking something/someone up but not throwing them, so maybe if the thing wanders off the map it can serve the same as when a baby or child gets kidnapped by goblins.
