well I got ambush by goblins so I might get some new cage goblins to test my "hellrena" project.
wait a minute are they attacking* near my friendly fisherwoman bronze model?


well one goblin mace-man got a their skull stuck in their brains and fell into a coma and she now strangling a elite wrestler while another wrestler dash away.
at least now I got more stuff to sell to the merchants that came earlier.

edit: the goblins have been defeated and killed and the last one standing is a mace axe lord I sent my troops on.
then soon after the order I end up getting news that my northern swamps are out of fish and my local friendly loner fisherwoman starts to walk directly to the mace lord and beat my three assign men to the punch. she smacking the goblin with her supremely made steel glove and it's beautiful.

I must know how you got a butterfly... and yes, playing as colossi is fun. not FUN, fun. its only FUN for the humans.

when playing as a colossi, or any hard to kill creature in adventure mode losing would be hard to achieve if you play with killing every thing mind set.

so if you think out side that then achieving FUN with a colossi can be achieve. like say you want a temple for your ruling power of the area in a favorite non-razed town. you might want to retire the statue and build the thing a magma fountain that shoots hot magma up in to the air and pipes back down.
so you lose tons of dwarfs/humans/elfgoblins making the thing which is some bonus FUN right there.
OH no one berserk dwarf charged your adventurer well no big he gets thrown into a door and you are down one worker right?
well it happens that door controls the magma pump shut valve and it stuck open oops now the whole city is flooded and your bronze who was the one who wipe out the mountain hydra and the sea titan is a melted statue. not only you lost a fort you lost a adventure with a town. so that triple the FUN.
 I had FUN with having someone kill off a adventure while they live in the fort civ due to bad living quarters really changes how one plays fort mode.

fake edit :wait 08? you mean 40d right?

in 40d16 I ended up mixing fort mode and adv mode with the use of utilities and mods(slavery enhancer and dwarf companion to say a few). I done some tests with the abilities one can gain access with in fort mode if one retired and regain control of said character in fort mode.
so far the difference is that just swapping to the other civ the adventurer with any high/named kill count would lead to them being heroes and one needs to de-noble them by either re-stealing them with a utility.

hermit challenge or the hunter challenge is really fun when you can abandon the fort with your dwarf(s) and come back to them in adventure mode. the only thing I need to know how to do is the heavy bin adventure/fort storage. Seems I can tell a adventure to store and item in a chest and drop it but I can't tell a citizen to store a preserve hydra brain into a bin and abandon it.

Chances of them popping up in caverns are "sure", because usually all animalmen are  used. And camps of bronze colossi... I am not sure if you want THAT.

well if you are digging down that is. Adventurers are friends to all animal men so recruiting one is a must for dealing with the horrors of below.

or just slap [indiv_control] and [adventure tier] in the animal men group(located at the near bottom) and place the
    [CREATURE:COLLOSSUS_BRONZE] next to the other animalmen.
now you get to play as a bronze and any of animalmen already there. with no worries of a bronze civ*

*well one above ground, chances of them popping up in caverns is rare.

I finally got a bronze model (semi)megabeast to come to my bronze colossus2 fort.
and the first thing she did on her way here is,

fishing for turtles.

she mark under friendly so capturing her is out of the question.

this really marks the first time I seen a friendly unit do a job with little modding on my behalf.

Beware of her deadly fishing skills!

If I can recreate this on a larger scale then one could be hit with a migrant wave that won't listen to you.

I think you get it by eating and not starving/getting tired. Due to timescale and etc, either it's not noticeable in adventure mode or it only happens in fortress mode. Muscles also get thicker on strength, but your strength is probably near max and you are 'incredibly muscular.'  I think retiring makes you a thinner or fatter since it also advances time by a year. Why do you want to be 'belarded with hanging sacks of fat?'

really a year in 31.#? I thought it was a month?
