Actually if you double the surface area of a cube (1 square foot to 2 square feet) its volume (and therefore its weight) will be only about 2.828 times greater, not four times.

Actually i meant a 1 x 1 x 1 foot cube doubling to a 2 x 2 x 2 foot cube, not surface area.

And yeah, it's 8 times, it's 4 times in 2 dimensions, 8 in 3.

Told you it had been awhile.

Hmm, yeah size seems linearish.

Although cats are smaller then foxes.

Foxes are small large dog sized.

I figured the foxes he used are the small ones.

I find it funny how people try to build complex systems involving non-existant values to find a reason of a single combat parameter . Yay the DF forums, you continue to amaze and entertain me .

Oh, hey.  The thread grew a lot this weekend, so maybe you missed my post where I pointed out some non-combat effects of size in DF.  Not all of them are trivial, either.  Cats give only 3 meat while elephants give 16, for example.  That can mean the difference between a well-fed fort and starvation.  Under the right circumstances, anyway.

Elephants feed fortresses well for two reasons:
1) the amount of meat you get from butchering one.
2) the amount of hunters/peasants that died attempting to kill one.

All hail the elephants!
