Title: I killed a bronze colossus, and you'll never guess how
Post by: The Anus of Discontent on May 09, 2010, 01:36:24 pm
So, I'm just wandering along through this forest, looking for a cave where I could maybe kill some dragons or something and get their fat loot. This was shortly after I had gotten my throwing to legendary +2 (remember this).

I came across a cave and thought, "Well, maybe it'll be filled with giants or something."

Wrong.

There was a bronze colossus.

He told me his name then proceeded to bum rush down the side of the mountain after me. Tripping over my feet, I tried to run away and disturbed a nest of fluffy wamblers at the bottom of the mountain. They immediately spread forth in a great cloud at my feet. So, I did as any adventurer would do. I stuffed them in my backback in an attempt to make some money out of this encounter.

Maybe I could sell them or something.

The bronze colossus was coming up from behind when I was struck with the awesome idea to begin throwing these bunnies at the bronze colossus.

The result was astonishing, and I could do nothing but stand up from my computer with my fist held high in the air, because I had just beaten the game.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Then I proceeded to pick up the rest of the bunnies, the masterfully crafted bronze statue, and its head. The head will be his trophy... But I need money.

If I remember correctly, its part of Phoebus's tileset. You can get it here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=52186

Yep.

Getting lucky with throwing isn't that hard. Just pick up something with a relatively high weight (more than two) and get your throwing up to legendary. If you hit them in the head it'll either come off completely or crush the skull and destroy the brain.

You do realize that you can smash a bc's head in 10000 times with a hammer and it won't do anything, right?

Post by: The Anus of Discontent on May 09, 2010, 09:15:59 pm
Yeah, but you can knock it off with relative ease. The body parts can be severed, but not smashed. The only problem is that it's too tall to hit the head. However, throwing blunt stuff at its head seems to work.

Yeah, my guy opened up his backpack and picked out the plumpest fluffy wambler that he could grab, balled it up into a compact sphere, and threw it as hard as he could at the colossus... Awesome...

Yeah, you can use them to take out colossi! I knew there was a way... I always knew Toady wouldn't make them COMPLETELY impossible to kill.

I laughed, this is damn awesome. Never threw something powerful enough to kill a creature. The max I got from throwing was shattered a bone, I was also uberproud.

And this is why throwing still needs to be nerfed. Because you can through Wamblers like some sort of atomic grenade.

Pick up the statue, put it on a good site and embark on it, build it on a tower for all to see (bonus points if the bronze collossuss is a statue of a fluffy wambler (or is that only iron men?))

Really though, it shows the mindset of a Dwarf Fortress player that when running for you life from a 30-foot tall animate bronze statue, your first reaction to a horde of fluffy bunnies is to grab some and stuff them in your backpack. What was the colossus a statue of, anyway? Because if it was an elf, I think we know why this happened.

I don't think colossi have different appearances. They're all the same, only creating a statue of something when they die.

It was some elf king. I don't remember. So yeah, his head simply disconnected itself from his body to avoid having the wambler smash into its neck xD

Apparently they don't weigh that much. Like <1 lb. But, in their raws, there is some like that makes them sharp... Sharper than anything in the world... Kind of like the Subtle Knife in the Golden Compass series. It can cut between atoms in an object.

So to answer the question of it being a melee weapon, be prepared for severing every limb on contact!

I once fought a bronze colossus and my skill level grew so quick that I couldn't harm him (all I had was an iron battle axe and a crappy crossbow) but he couldn't harm me.

For some reason during the fight his movement speed grew like 10 times so I couldn't harm him.
We could have been fighting forever but in my stupid attempt to get away I jumped into a pond and couldn't get out. It ended up with me drowning like an idiot...

Have you ever stopped to think of what a Bronze colossus might look like?

While browsing the subject of Kaiju (giant monster movies in Japan, including Godzilla), I came across this page on Daimajin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimajin). And I thought this would be a pretty good approximation of what a Bronze colossus might look like (minus the sword), particularly after it has been killed and mounted as a statue:

I'm pretty sure there are some serious bugs in the throwing code.

The results that come out of that thing are far more random and bizarre than any other part of the combat system currently - even more so than the laser whips.

Once in a while I've just seen guys pretty much explode by throwing a rock at them - even a direct hit with a maul doesn't cause that kind of damage. <shrug>

I hate you with pure burning seething anger and loathing for your awesome kill sir.

25+ strikes to the neck with a steel battle axe have not accomplished your feat from a legendary +3 axedwarf.

I take a peasant (insane strength) and make him a legendary thrower (practice makes perfect!) and find some rocks.
also sneak around a lot, legendary ambusher.

no-one knows where I am.
BOOM headshot.

But, but... random and bizarre is !!fun!!, especially when it comes to Dwarf Fortress combat.
And, from what I've read, there are more than a few old-time players who pine for the combat mechanics of earlier versions where one could pummel goblins and other enemies so they fly several screens away.

Well, Theshinesprites is the necromancer.  Once it's already necroed, if you still want to talk about it, why not keep it going?

I mean, we can keep going back to Cacame and Tholtig Cryptbrain just to keep the classics alive if we want, right?  No reason a good story has to die just because it's from a couple versions ago.

On this topic, I got the best vision from this. It requires explanation, though.
I'm aware that Bronze Colossi are animate statues, but I've always thought of them more like giant robots from a lost civilization.
So the image of a dwarf blowing through a giant robots neck with a fuff ball is hilarious to me.

This is, actually, exactly as Talos was originally meant to be seen, and Talos is the almost-certain inspiration for the bronze colossus. 

A bronze colossus is basically supposed to be a giant robot with no clear power source that is composed of weights and gears and chains on the inside, and basically runs on clockwork mechanisms.

Make a post here? Why not?
I did something very similar to this; I threw a pair of trousers at a dwarf child and pierced its chest, puncturing a lung. The child then suffocated. The awesome thing is it was the first thing I threw at a lynch mob, with absolutely no skill in Throwing. Not as impressive as the OP, but just as entertaining.
My friends and I refer to the trousers - and the event - as the "Trousers of Slaying (+5)".

Two things. One, Bronze Colossi are powered by Zero Point energy, which Syndrome used in the Incredibles and powers the Toy Story toys in a theory connecting every Pixar movie. Two, you drop the Colossi onto the Fluffy Wamblers and they don't panic, but if you throw one little Wambler at them, then every one loses their mind!

I have to agree with the above. No need to waste server space. The only problem with that idea though is the fact that you can't change the title of the OP so people are unlikely to be prepared to deal with your specific problem.

I believe it is usually considered acceptable to necro certain 'legendary' posts every year or so for the nostalgia value and to introduce new players the buggy beauty of DF's ancient history; another thread that gets this treatment is the one about Cacame Awemedinade.

Anyway, this is not possible in the current version; throwing is still more powerful than it should be but not nearly as overpowered as it was in the past.
