Wow, Toady.  Thanks for answering our questions!  I was thinking you'd be daunted into silence by the sheer number of them.  Now, we'll stop bothering you so you can work on everything 

[Tormy]

welp, modding's gonna be pretty difficult from now on...

No doubt, but the new modding possibilities are incredible. Well, we must update the wiki also hehe. 

How much does this (skin thickness) actually matter in terms of combat?  Will there be things that daggers can't cut through?

That's coming up very soon, so I can't say exactly how much.  The idea is that a thicker tissue would matter a lot, so a bulbous creature with a large layer of lardy rolls would have a great deal of protection.  It'll take some balancing, and I'm not to the point where I've tested it out.  In terms of daggers being able to cut in general, it currently uses the shear properties for this, and if the dagger is a harder material it will form some sort of cut (assuming the strike is forceful enough to get beyond the shear fracture point for, say, skin), but on a titan, that should be neglible unless you make a hobby out of it.

Pure awesomeness! More realistic combat! Yay! This + the combat arc = I cannot find the right words to describe my feelings..

[KaelGotDwarves]

Yeah, serious thanks on the answers.  It'll be interesting to see how a legendary with an iron sword fares against a steel golem.

Will the sword do nothing, or will it act as a bludgeoning weapon since iron cannot cut steel? Swords eventually shattering... awesome.

[Footkerchief]

Yeah, serious thanks on the answers. 

Echoing this.  That was a LOT of answers.

It'll be interesting to see how anything can kill a steel golem actually.

 Foundries.

 That is a good question. Being magma immune, they won't melt when being flooded. Rust doesn't effect steel(Not like it WOULD matter on an iron golem anyway), and most metals are not as good as it.

 Mayhaps just something really hard smashing into it? Like a ceramic warhammer wielded by some large being?

[umiman]

That's now.

But in the upcoming versions where creature strength is determined by the strength of what they are made by...

Maybe a very, very big hammer.

[Aqizzar]

That is a wall of answers.

Speaking of eye damage, there's a very fine line between scratched and destroyed.  Any penetration greater than 1/8 inch is guaranteed to cause blindness from the scarring.

Steelmen solution - carefully positioned cave ins, and hope you bury it deep enough that it can't dig itself out.

[Duke 2.0]

 Another solution:
 Drop it into a magma room it cannot get out of. It needs to melt eventually, right?

[umiman]

There's always cage traps. Hopefully those won't be changed. 

[Footkerchief]

Or, you know, the omnipotent cage trap + chasm.

e: beaten

HAX

[Neoskel]

You could maybe atomsmash it under a drawbridge.

[Willfor]

Will eligibility for becoming a noble be able to be restricted on a caste-specific basis? This is very relevant to my interests. (Whether in this version, or in any other.)
