What happens to severed limbs of iron men?

I'm pretty sure that they behave in the same way as the remains of vermin, just disintegrating without giving you anything.  [[User:Bouchart|Bouchart]] 19:00, 4 March 2008 (EST)

::I'm going to back up digger on this issue: I had a masterwork iron statue turn up when I forgot that I had left my woodcutter drafted to scare off a kobold thief. 1 of 2 iron men down I thought (correctly). Then I  activated my assorted hunters (somehow - maybe because of my tropical biome - I had managed to have quite a few hunters turn up as migrants) and they got SLAUGHTERED even though they were supposed to be shooting from the other side of a chasm (iron man went running around the chasm to attack them... and they charged to the battle even though they are crossbow dwarves???).

::When I equipped half a dozen draftees with obsidian swords and leather armour they fared much better and turned the iron man into a statue with no dwarven casualties. Nobody had any military skill prior to the assault.

::So based on the observations of 2 I am removing the advice regarding using crossbows to kill them.[[User:GarrieIrons|GarrieIrons]] 23:21, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

:::I'll disagree with you there - you just need a semi-decent crossbowdwarf squad and a safe place to shoot from. --[[User:GreyMario|GreyMaria]] 01:08, 24 September 2008 (EDT)

There was a frightening storm outside, and every dwarfkin had gathered around the cosy fire in the main dining hall while their parents were tending to necessary tasks. Light from the fireplace danced and twinkled on the masterpiece iron statue that decorated the hall. All of a sudden ...

they don't produce bones... but if you melt one how many iron bars do you get?[[User:GarrieIrons|GarrieIrons]] 23:23, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

==Value Disparity==

Killing a lowly iron man gives you a statue worth 3000 dwarfbucks. Killing a mighty [[bronze colossus]] gives you a statue worth only 1500, half the value. Something doesn't seem quite right. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 16:46, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

:Ill thought out, perhaps, yes. But bronze is, unsurprisingly, worth less than iron. ~ [[User:Midna|Midna]] 07:44, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

::My point exactly - I would've expected an iron man to give a much lower quality iron statue than masterwork, or for a bronze colossus to drop an [[artifact]] (if the game code were to allow it, anyways). --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 13:49, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
