Are Invincible Creatures Gone?
« on: September 18, 2010, 11:59:50 am »

I'm going to start playing again but was wondering if invincible creatures like sentient blobs of water are gone. And are bronze colossi still pretty much invincible? Are there other general glitchynesses still around from the underground update.

They aren't unkillable anymore, though they might still present a challenge.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

They're killable now. Rather easily, in fact. BC are still hard but that's because they're solid bronze. They're supposed to be hard.

Colossi are almost immune to blunt weapons (which are a solid choice against iron-clad goblins), and axes/spears don't do too well either. Short swords do well enough, and picks take them down nicely.

You forgot a detail: Dorfs get webbed in GCS webs and trigger traps. Right now we have some 12 caged dwarves, including you.

hard to kill maybe, but not hard to make a mockery of, with a little forethought :)

Are the fortresses there for psychological reasons?  Are they trying to hold back entropy itself, rather than the goblin hordes?

Cage trap. Arena. Say goodbye to your prisoner population.
