so, if a steel titan is nearly impossible to kill, what of an adamantine titan?

i doubt such a thing could exist, but just think of the horror

Although very tough, it would also be incredibly light. Like fighting a giant indestructible marshmallow. I doubt it'd be very menacing, more of an annoyance really.

Wait, what if it has claws or fangs or tusks? Wouldn't those be made out of candy too? I once scratched a dwarf's arm off with an elephant man adventurer.

[imperium3]

"Sir, the goblins are attacking!"

"RELEASE THE TITAN!!"

[Triaxx2]

Candy titans should henceforth be known as Murdersmurfs.

Yeah that would be lethal. Although I've also heard that candy creatures' limbs are easily knocked off due to how light they are, so perhaps it would only be lethal until you disassembled it into an invulnerable torso.

Quick, distract the goblins! RELEASE THE TORSO! Now, while they're distracted! RELEASE THE DWARVES OF WAR! ("It's hounds of war, sir, hounds - not dwarves""Same difference, really! SEND THEM ALL TOO!").

[utunnels]

I'm using two rooms with furnitures and animals to lure the Titan.
If it goes into room A, the dorfs will pull the lever and lock it up.
When the goblins came I will release the Titan and retrieve it by opening room B later.

[Melting Sky]

I think a slade titan would be far worse, think of the damage. It could probably one shot any dwarf who got too close.

Late at night, gathered around the bonfire, sometimes young dwarves try to scare each other by telling the tale of Ihstar Uumaalek and the thriving fortress it laid to waste.

"The forgotten beast Ishtar Uumaalek has come! A great three-eyed titan composed of slade. It has two curved horns and its eyes glow sickly green. Beware it's deadly dust!"

[OAOGigmaster]

Firebreathers wouldn't affect it; steel doesn't melt to FBs and clowns that breathe fire, as their fire is only the usual 11000U degree fire, not the 50000U fire of dragons (which only dragons can breathe). Steel has a melting point of 12718U.

If you can manage it, it would be amazing if you could get it onto a constructed or mined-out platform held up by a single support, then drop it several Z-levels onto a heavy rock (since falls technically calculate the density of the floor in determining falling damage). A lot like with bronze colossi, a steel titan should break off most of its limbs on impact due to its size and weight, at which point you can keep it as an archery target. Even if it has wings technically, you mentioned that it doesn't seem to actually do any flying, so this should still be effective (probably. Maybe.)

[utunnels]

Well, it is a bit disappointing because the goblins just ran out of troops.
The last time I used the titan was to defeat an Ettin.

[utunnels]

Current news: The titan is now fighting a roc, and it seems the fight will last till the end of the world.

Edit*

The titan put the roc sleep using its spit attack. And the titan lost interests towards the sleeping target, it removed back into his fine room I set up for it, because it wanted to kill the chicken chained in that room than finishing the roc.

[utunnels]

Oh, goblins with whips can actually hurt the steel titan, for some reason.

 

Hmm, it seems the goblins are winning. They are becoming elite soldiers.



Edit*

Well, the goblin won and left.

[Fleeting Frames]

Oh yeah. Whips, blunt weapons with 1 contact area that they are, are particularly effective at killing bronze colossi. (And breaking bones through armor)

And now you have Elite lashers out there, wanting to kill you :3

Hm, is there anything whips fail to kill? (Though they're probably not as good as some weapons in certain situations.)

[kingsableye]

Zombies probably, they'd take a while to pulp them, right? Any creature who feels no pain and doesn't die from blood loss would probably be pretty resistant to death by whip.
I mean, you can kill pretty much anything in DF if you hit it enough but.

[King Kitteh]

You probably should have kept it safe for marksdwarf training. Easy elite marksdwarves.
