Pichurs, please? The carnage sounds glorious.

[Blargityblarg]

AFAIK, counterattacks are not affected by speed. This means that all the dorfs being wapped will wap back half the time, causing a high-pitched keening noise to the nearby elven forests, exterminating them by making their heads explode. The Avatar and the Dorfs Hi-5.

Just as planned.

Sorry, I just read all the Power Goals, so that's how I'm thinking at the moment.

make it controllable, then make another one and have them duel!!!!!!!

[Supercharazad]

BTW, this thing doesn't need to dodge arrows, it is so hot it can probably melt the arrows and they come to it, it will probably boil dwarves that try to take it on with melee and the fact that this thing has SPEED:0 so it effectivly moves at the speed of light

The next step is making it so hot it can boil magma.

Does magma even have a boiling point?

Magma is essentially liquid rock, so the boiling point would likely vary considerably depending on the kind of rock, but yes, I'm fairly sure it has a boiling point, just like everything else.  I'll eat my own face if somebody proves me wrong.

The next step is making it so hot it can boil evaporate magma.

Not turn from solid to liquid, from liquid to gas.
 So it's gotta be veeery high.

Well, obviously.  My point was that everything boils at some point.

[Flying Carcass]

Hmm... GCS webs may be able to slow it down... but they'd probably catch fire... so... GCS webs to trap him, then have some barrels of booze nearby to explode once the webs immolate. May work. Or maybe not.

[Derakon]

Magma actually isn't liquid rock in Dwarf Fortress; it's its own liquid with special properties. Toady might well have thought to include a boiling point for magma; then again, he might not have. You should be able to check by modding dwarves to survive ridiculously high temperatures, and then making a world that has ridiculously high temperatures.

That's what boiling is.  Solid to liquid is melting.

Evaporation is . . . weird.  With water, particles at the surface of a liquid body will seperate from the body and become gaseous, even though they aren't at their boiling point.  Various conditions affect how much water can evaporate into the air, among them air temperature.

So even if magma could evaporate, that would be a less impressive feat than boiling it.

[dragnar]

Technically ALL liquids evaporate, but the vapor pressure is very, very small for most, so it's too slow to notice.

[Supercharazad]

oh, and not to mention that this thing is immune to magma,water,fire and will probably survive anything boiling near it

[ed boy]

what if something boils at absolute zero (the df one)?

wait until it's on the same tile as some rock, save the game, mod the raws and boot it up again?

would that kill it?
