Oh my, how on Earth did this happen?
« on: August 22, 2011, 02:33:13 pm »
So I made a Bronze Colossus adventurer, wrestler/kicker, and decided to ravage a human fort. I was killing the last guy in the doorway, strangled him and was intent on breaking all of his bones when I got this message.



Sorry for not editing the picture, I was too lazy for that. Anyways, he had a copper mail shirt ON HIS HEAD? Wow. Those humans are pretty cautious!

The only thing that happened in general was the death of 71% of the fort, and that wasn't really worth mentioning.

That must be a very small, and very weak colossus, if he only managed to bruise an eye, with a kick.

He is average for a colossus, and has high strength, but is a pretty bad kicker. Level 3 or 4. I'm just using that because his only working hand (Damned arrows) is occupied with strangling, and he's unconscious, so nearly every blow breaks a bone.

The kick came at the eye from below, but was blocked by the wrestler's copper mail shirt, that's why it looks like he's wearing a shirt on his head.

On Iron Grip: it's quite fun soloing on the harder difficulties.

edit: Missed an apostrophe.
And for some reason I thoght the kick deflected. ???

Or he was putting it on while he was kicked... Although, judging by the fact that you can wear a helmet WHILE equipping a chainmail (quite a hard feat) they use straps...

Although, I guess this is like chopping off someone's left ear, then, with the same hit, poking out their right eye...

Thumbs up for good taste in games.


Also how does one get a mail shirt on their head? Cause if its possible that should provide more protection than a helmet

If adamantine is perfectly rigid, as shown by having 0 strain at fracture in the raw files, then the speed of sound in the metal approaches the speed of light. Adamantine musical instruments would produce ultrasonic vibrations, and cut off the fingers of the musician.
