I've been playing around with ultra-low-temperature forts, and it's occured to me as I'm sitting ready to breach the spoiler spires that I have no idea what actually controls the damage creatures take from freezing, and whether it would work on any/all of the clowns.

If I have the only path into the fort proper walk across a long zone of -20,000-embark-degree terrain, what sorts of clowns will survive the walk? On a more abstract level, what tokens control vulnerability to cold?

All the spoilers' materials have been altered so that they take no damage from heat or cold. I have had snow creatures swimming in magma, and steam creatures on a glacier.

I thought freezing into solid ice worked like obsidian formation -- I.E., instant death.

I'm not very familiar with the process because I rarely embark on maps that freeze (warmblooded dwarves) but this was my understand.

Their melting and boiling points are similarly affected.

Freezing to death works with all creatures AFAIK.

Standing in a tile as it turns to ice indeed certain death, as far as I know, but I meant just wandering around on a sufficiently cold area. It kills mundane creatures relatively quickly--and at the temperatures I'm working with, damages their corpse until there's nothing left of them.

So it looks like to make hell freeze over I'll have to add water. Thanks!

Freeze hell in some quick, easy steps! Just add water!

I'll see if I can use the ice blocks containing the demons in some diabolically dwarf-intensive ice sculpture; I had already planned on pouring a huge block of ice and seeing how many miners would freeze to death while working on carving it up.
