I need to do my research next time
« on: November 27, 2010, 08:54:02 pm »
Well a titan came over to my dorffort to say hello...naturally I was unsure what to do, as I had not trained my military yet (in addition to constructing a 500k planepacked-style quern). I tried throwing my emergency militia at it, who ended up losing two dwarves and then chasing the stupid giant humanoid with two heads around. I reloaded the save, and this time just had everyone hide in fear. This worked much better, as I didn't realize that it didn't avoid traps and it promptly got caught and went from "uninvited guest" to "caged guest".

I guess the moral of the story is research or something?

Do all titans not avoid traps or only some?

Indubitably true, my good man. A most pointed observation.

True megabeasts-- titans, colossi, dragons, FBs, and clowns-- have TRAPAVOID, if I remember correctly. What you caught might have been an ettin or a giant, a "semi-megabeast".

Can you find its description?

Colossi and hydras don't trapavoid, and I don't think dragons do either. Genned creatures like Titans and FBs do. Clowns definitely do.

I wouldn't consider FBs, Titans, and clowns "megabeasts." They're more like a seperate, third tier.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

They're God's creatures. Specifically, the Random Number God's.

The amount of malice in this thread is actually causing me some concern. I mean, chaining up mothers and forcing them to breed, just so we can drown their children to harvest their organs? Does this strike no one else as absolutely horrific?
You misspelled 'hilarious'
Fun
