This sword is scaled specifically to be wielded by a bronze colossus with both hands, and uses up all of its weight capacity:

Code: [Select]
[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_2H_GIANT]
[NAME:giant two-handed sword:giant two-handed swords]
[SIZE:250000]
[SKILL:SWORD]
[TWO_HANDED:21500000]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:17400000]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:1300] the sword is just too big to be used for stabbing
[ATTACK:EDGE:4200000:52000:slash:slashes:NO_SUB:1250]
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:4:4]
[ATTACK:BLUNT:4200000:52000:slap:slaps:flat:1250]
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:4:4]

Testing it, I was able to decapitate dragons and giants, and chop a giant in half at the lower body. Hitting humans with the sword knocks them back a few tiles. Still, it has 1/10th the momentum of giving the colossus natural blade hands, as large creatures are not slowed down by the weight of their body parts when natural attacking. I recommend using natural sword arms over "giant" weapon versions, at least for magical construct-like creatures.

I see. Thanks. I'll keep that sword around, for any project I might need. Thanks for testing it too.

If any of them are made of fire, throw stuff, run, and think non-flammable thoughts.

I think that answer isn't funny enough.

Code: [Select]
[ITEM_WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_SWORD_X512]
[NAME:stabbering ram:stabbering rams] 512 times bigger than a short sword
[SIZE:153600]
[SKILL:SWORD]
[TWO_HANDED:19200000]
[MINIMUM_SIZE:16640000]
[CAN_STONE]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:1536]
[ATTACK:EDGE:1280000:32000:slash:slashes:sharp side:1250] 512 times bigger means that each dimension is 8 times the old one
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:4:4]
[ATTACK:EDGE:3200:16000:stabber:stabbers:pointy end:1000] so penetration is multiplied by 8 and contact area by 64
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:4:4]
[ATTACK:BLUNT:1280000:32000:swat:swats:flat side:1250] for reference, 8 times 8 times 8 is 512
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:4:4]
[ATTACK:BLUNT:6400:8000:pummel:pummels:blunt end:1000]
[ATTACK_PREPARE_AND_RECOVER:4:4]

Giant badgers are cruel saddistic balls of fur and hate. Did anyone know they could paint a wall with a single dwarven baby?.... You know what, I made the Giant badgers sound like sane DF players.

I forgot about the stabbering ram!  :P Just so many ideas going through my head. Alloy of dragon bone and steel anyone? Or Colossus Bronze?
