Im interested to know - Ive heard of people playing as these creatures in adventure mode, and ive always wanted to be a Bronze Colossus for a bit, so, is it possible, and if so, how?

Any information is much appreciated

There's some tags you have to add to the raw entry that makes a race playable. [CIV_CONTROLLABLE] and [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE], I think.

I know that that applies to races within the Entities_Default RAW, but creatures such as these arent present in there, they seem to be in Creature_Standard...

It may work, im trying it this way to start with, for better or worse.
EDIT: It didnt seem to work.

You have to give it a civ as well, I would assume.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Yeah, I'm fairly certain there isn't any way to access a civ-less species in adventure mode.

I DID IT!

Just add:
[ENTITY:PLAINS]
        [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE]
   [CREATURE:COLOSSUS_BRONZE]
     [TRANSLATION:COLOSSUS_BRONZE]
   [START_BIOME:ANY_FOREST]
   [BIOME_SUPPORT:ANY_LAKE:1]
   [BIOME_SUPPORT:ANY_FOREST:3]
   [BIOME_SUPPORT:ANY_RIVER:1]
To your Entity_Default.txt

Awesome
Thanks for your aid, i couldnt have done it without the idea of giving them a Civ

This works for adventure mode. If you want them to work in dwarf mode, just copy over the ethics/reactions and other stuff from the dwarf civ.

that's one way or you could just get runesmith turn traps work in adventure mode on, build a cage trap near a bronze colossus leave walk back as an adventurer get caught in one take the caged off your said adventurer and walk some miles away from the cage hopefully two Embark tiles away from the site has the bronze in near by or you might have to dump unwanted bodies in a town or woods until you get your self the bronze.

but making them playable also works.

The fast, easy, intelligent, intuitive way of doing it, yes.

How do you play as a plump helmet man?

this seems to be glitched somewhat; the BC adventurers dont seem to gain skills. but they are still very, very hard to kill. bolts seem to work best. i got both my hands broken and proceeded to kick an entire human town to death.

That's not a glitch. Bronze Colossus simply lack the [CAN_LEARN] tag, and therefore can not build skills. Adding that tag to their creature entry would allow them to learn skills.

It would also make them horribly, horribly hard to kill.

[claer_runway]

thats the idea
