All of them have about the same body_size (10000000) as an adult Giant. Only Whales and fully grown Dragons are larger.

Whale sharks (20,000,000), bronze colossi (same), cave dragons (15,000,000), and basking sharks (same) are also bigger than that.

You're saying that the largest megabeast in the game is matched in size by the whale shark? That... I... I need to make them trainable.

Actually, a full grown dragon is even bigger than that (25,000,000), so the whale shark is tied for second with two others. Although it takes a dragon an entire millennium to get that big (they start out the size of a grizzly bear), so in most worlds they won't be the biggest.

Adventure mode, the only game where you can become legendary ambusher and clutch walker at the same time.

Just imagine noticing too late that a guy walking with a clutch was sneaking upon you... nightmares will follow...

I don't think we need to worry about people with clutches.

Does skill with it affect use of a weapon as much as conventional weapon skills?

If you took a sword and modded it to use "Misc. Object User" skill and were as skilled as that as in swordsmanship, would the results be the same?

What does activating "c" (Clouds) on the "T" (travel screen) does?

In a clear sky nothing, but it switches whether or not to show the clouds over the map. If it's cloudy that will obscure the entire screen, but if part is cloudy and part isn't then you can use it to avoid going into a cloudy area (which has poor visibility).

i got stuck into a murky pool in the desert.
while an ambush.
wolves wont come down,but i also cant get out from it.And i cant fast travel.
what should i do?

Try to find a corner with poor visibility, hide with , then fast travel.

Cake and oil! But will it be flammable?

I realized trying to use a silver maul with a hero with average strength was a very stupid idea, so I had her train fighting some horses. Unfortunately, because attacking wildlife requires the same approval as attacking friendly civ members I accidentally had her attack my own lasher, setting the whole civilization against her.

The only other human civizilation on the map was something like 2/3 of the length and width of the (admittedly small) world away, and she had no companions. Luckily, even that distance was nothing compared to my last adventure (travel damn near an entire large world from north to south) and there were plenty of mountains along the way (bogeymen won't spawn on a mountain, though they they will follow you there).

So after a very long trip, a close run in with bogeymen where she hid then stayed still until daybreak and three dodged ambushes (from kobolds, goblins, and humans) she finally made it to the fortress of the other civilization, and a new start.
