Guys just a quick question regarding the SIZE tag.
Megabeasts are all SIZE 20 in the vanilla game. What is the max value of SIZE? Is it 20 or...99...or something else?
Also, what will be the difference between a SIZE 20 megabeast and a SIZE 40 - SIZE 60 megabeats if its allowed to add those values?

Dwarves are size 6.
Humans are size 7.
Let's say size a size 10 creature would be about 11 feet tall.
So a size 20 creature would be about 22 feet tall, a 40 would be 44 (maybe, this is mostly guesswork).

Each size level is one strength level ("strong," "very strong," "ultra-mighty," etc) than the number before it.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

there's so much possible innuendo here.

Hm....Ive never tried modding yet...are you sure that its 20? Sorry but I dont play DF till the Army ARC is completed, that is why Im asking questions, instead of trying to figure it out myself.

Eh... I think it can go beyond 20. At least, I've seen modded megabeasts with size 25 and there is a notable difference. That being, BLOODY HARD.

I'm going to refrain from the innuendo.  We've already got mechanisms in place for handling that.

SIZE can indeed go beyond 20.  It can go beyond 40.  It can go beyond anything you could possibly have a use for.  And I think the size relations are different than just a simple linear number, considering the current size of animals.  For instance, dwarves cannot hold human two-handed weapons, and must wield one-handed weapons in two hands.  A size 8 creature would be able to hold that same weapon in only one hand.

Raccoons are size 2, ratmen/batmen/antmen/olmmen are size 4, kobolds are size 5, dwarves and goblins 6, humans and elves 7, ogres/trolls/horses/grizzly bears/muskoxen/donkeys are size 9, camels are 10, giants/cyclopes/minotaurs/ettins are 12, elephants are size 16, dragons/titans/hydras/colossi 20.  

Some strange values in there.  It will probably get overhauled at some point.

Well yes, I was wondering about this because....I plan to make a mod myself with "proper" megabeasts once I start to play again after the army arc is fully working. I find it annoying that a single dwarf can solo a SIZE 20 megabeast.
