Eventually I highly suspect shields will be a LOT less effective.

Or at least... lose its magical ability to block a nuclear explosion so long as it strikes the shield itself leaving you entirely unharmed as the landscape is vaporised.

Though that sort of change is rather far away.

I had a Collosus visit my fort only for it to die two steps later.
Not sure if this is relevant because in 40d I've had that happen to other megabeasts that came but it's worth mentioning since this fort was on a glacier.
So either cold kills them or it was just a glitch.

He punched my skull through my brain.

You mean... he beat you to death with your own skull? That doesn't seem physically possible!

God Colossi don't care about your fucking physics.           

[GlyphGryph]

You mean... he beat you to death with your own skull? That doesn't seem physically possible!

that's exactly what he was saying at the time!

** flashback to him being beaten to death with own skull yelling "This doesn't seem physically possible!" **

"I seem to be dying right now! Let me contemplate the intricacies of the specific method in which my attacker is killing me!"

Build a huge room,  big enough to hold all of your dwarves.

Then fill it with coffins.

Best solution for the BC yet.  I like the nigh-invulnerability of it--it adds class to the game.  And if you're in Adventure mode and someone gives you a BC quest, you should take that as a quest to kill the person who's trying to send you to your doom.

"On it's right ankle there is a nail, pull it out."
Or something to that effect, can't remember much of Greek mythology but I'm certain Talos was a Bronze colossus. Maybe even Titan?

[Quantum Toast]

Theory: instead of cutting the head off you should be hollowing it out and putting in a seat and some levers.

[Mangled]

We have a winner.

[LoneJedi7]

every time i put a dragon against a BC in arena mode the dragon melts the bronze collosus and kills it. (with notable injuries of course, but the dragon still wins)

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I find no nail on a BC's right ankle, so that idea is out the window. Would have been cool though, as it would mean their nigh-unkillibleness was intended by the Great Toad all along.

I tried the slade weapons thing, but it seems to be not working. It's head is already so damaged that I got the message:
"you hack the bronze colossus in the head with your slade greataxe, but the attack passes through!"

[G-Flex]

I think a two-handed sword might be your best bet. And luck. It probably helps if you play as a bronze colossus.

So, blowpipes? I hear you can get poisen ammo, so infect and let die by itself?
