The Titan Queen!
« on: November 15, 2008, 11:52:16 pm »

Hi there! I's me, the average lazy person trying to be clever while not realy caring if this bug is a bug and has been posted before.

I struk the adamantine realy early in my fort (like immediatly) and so the 'leader' showed up dressed as a peasant.
She was not dressed very well because she was a TITAN!
She is almost exactly like an animal that I cannot train or assign. After a few days, she stripped off all her clothes, left them in a neat pile, and abruptly ran all the way across the map to mercilessly butcher all the fluffy swans and beavers coming onto the map.
She acts just like a dwarf that cannot talk and will not do anything but hunt. She was just elected Mayor and is suffering no bad thought because i cannot assign any buildings to her.
She ignores hostile units and only kills cute and cuddly animals that innexplicably disturb the work of Dwarves...

I can recruit her into the military, but not remove or station. I can pit/pond her, which opens up the possibility of using her as a WMD. She might eat, but she mostly drinkks all my booze.

I rather like it as she cannot demand anything, make mandates, or even get killed by any mortal (amphibious creatures that lure her into the water to drown are no considered mortal...)

Is this a bug or just plain friggn' awsome?

Probably a result of worldgen; goblins get demon emperors all the time, so I wouldn't put it past Dwarves to get a titan leader. You just got lucky in that said titan didn't die out during worldgen.

The problems from the lack of responsiveness are likely due to Titans not having the [INTELLIGENT] tag, which all civ-bearing races - like Dwarves - are required to have.

Post some SCREENS, man! And for military, see if you can assign someone as her superior officer, and station them to see if she follows.

Also: ATTACK OF THE 50-FOOT QUEEN.

I don't understand. Where's the bug? This is a perfectly valid and awesome feature.

She was just elected Mayor...

Wait, can monarchs usually get elected mayor, or is this some new oddness?

Won't guess if the titan queen is a bug or feature - but it's awesome. :)

Unfortunatly, she is not on the military list and cannot be put under a superior officer.
She is currently getting beter every day at killing all the woodland creatures that come onto my map...
She has good speaking skills, yet has no friends, and was a Titan Hunter when she got enough ambushing skill.

The most annoying thing is she dosn't attack enemies...
I'll bet, though, if she was in a room full of mean gobbies and they attacked, she would butcher them...

I have to second this as awesome/hilarious
I think of a drunken she-hulk type running around, yelling, partying and smashing things. ("Brenda no like swams! Brenda SMASH!")

AND never mandating Large Cut Gems, Trifle Pewter items, or other nonsense.  8)

Okay, i give up, how exactly does one go about posting pics? I'm slow with the forum...sorry!

And just for fun, i pierced the demon pits in my mountain, cuz she showed up when i found the adamantine...
she was on the other side of the map chasing a falcon while 20 dwarves and like 15 war dogs got butchered by the tentacle demons...:P
one save-scumm later....
She chases a duck into the water and drowns...no problem, just ressurect again...lol
Unfortunatly she would make the most awsome trader in all the land, but she cannot talk...
She is, however, an acomplished persuader...probably from her stature, not sign language skill...

This is obviously the product of some crazy mod, what with all the falcons, swans and beavers that are not in the original game.

Can you zip your raws/objects folder and upload it somewhere?

Not a glitch, just an unfortunate side effect of too little booze and too much Dwarven milk.

Yeah, sounds like someone gave dwarven entity and the titan creature the power tags.
Nevertheless, this is awesome.

Yeah, definitely modded.
Falcons, swans, beavers, and ducks are not part of the original game.

Okay, you caught me, i'm a modder, and my friend is a modder, and we share mods and have all kinds of cool megabeasts and farm animals and whatnot...
I guess if i were to post my fort details, i would post everything including raws and save...but not my half-breed graphics (unless you like that sorta thing...)

i have taken the posting techniques under advisment, and this is the result.

if you have any requests for other photos (i.e. the butchering of a panda bear in progress) feel free to innefectualy tell me what you want... :P
BTW, the acomplished wrestler skill was gained after she came to my fort, the rest before...

A new chapter has elapsed! I purposly punctured the Demon Pits and pit/ponded the titan in there with a few dogs...
The dogs were absolutely butchered...
The titan ran arround the pits trying to find a place to hunt, but was unable to affect her escape...
However, in her mad and panicked flailings, she managed to KILL ALL 30 DEMONS...
It was prety awsome, i have the video (even if it is a bit shakey due to my unsteady hand) and i will happily post it along with the save and the raws if someone would tell me a good place to post the data...will the picture site i used work?
