The reign of the giant sponge is over!
« on: July 09, 2014, 10:03:14 pm »
I was thinking about how combat changed with the new update... Specifically how you can destroy a body part by simply hitting it enough, and did some testing:

As a grand master swordsman human, a giant sponge took 4 hits with a steel sword to take down, I also tested it against a bronze colossus and it killed it with a punch and a single bash with a platinum maul. Humans (and probably dwarves with them) don't seem to be able to hurt them with blunts yet though.

Oh, I also should mention that they don't seem to attack anymore, like at all. Yeah...  that's pretty important.

Basically what i'm trying to say is that 40.01 brought a much needed leveling to the combat playing field, so go kill a ogre or something, people.

It's a reverse hostage situation, if you kill the snatchers they'll fill your fort with babies.

I-I think we need to have a moment of silence for the funeral of the King of Beasts.

Let this be a lesson to us all: Immortality is only temporary. That's why its called immortality.

I don't know if I should say
"That sounds like overkill"
or
"lolwut"
So i guess its safe to say
"It was inevitable"

I was gonna say dragons because of their dragon-fire, but then I realized they can easily be killed by giant sperm whales.
I was gonna say giant sperm whales because they could instantly pulp a dragon body-part with a tail-whip, but then I realized they can easily be killed by bronze colossus.

Trees. They keep making birds explode and have the ability to sometimes kill anything that manages to chop them down.

YES. THIS. Plus they're larger then even the largest dragon and COVER the map in huge swarms.

I always seem to end up with a magnificent burial complex and nowhere near enough bodies to fill it, or far too many bodies and nowhere to put any of them.

The internet encourages thoughtful, intelligent discussion and if you disagree I hate you.
