40d Talk:Troll

I wasn't sure where else to put this...

Will a building destroying creature damage constructed walls/stairs/ramps/etc?
Or will a simple one width wall stop any damage to your fort?

I did some testing with a bronze colossus -- it looks like building-destroyers ignore walls and fortifications. They are also blocked by a one-tile channel. Anydwarf 12:06, 21 April 2008 (EDT)

No bones?

Article says N/A for bones and other things. Does this mean that trolls leave no corpse or that it cannot be used after it rots?– unsigned comment by Someone-else

It means that you can't butcher the corpse to get shit from it. It's size 9, though, so I assume it leaves nine bones. --GreyMario 20:26, 21 April 2008 (EDT)

Hypothetically, you could butcher them if you slaughtered them as livestock, but they're not pets or pet_exotics so you can't tame them in order to do so. --JT 20:39, 21 April 2008 (EDT)

So, why can't we add a parameter to the template to make it say "rotting leaves", so we can actually give information to the people reading the articles? Anydwarf 21:47, 21 April 2008 (EDT)

Yes, this would be a good thing. While the article doesn't state "Their bones are valuable, but you can't get them" usage of the word "although" suggests that. --Someone-else 07:34, 22 April 2008 (EDT)

OK, I edited the template. I still don't know about the bones, somebody who does will need to add that. Anydwarf 14:49, 22 April 2008 (EDT)

Rhesus macaques are size 3 and leave three bones. Therefore, trolls are size 9 and thus leave nine bones. --GreyMario 17:13, 22 April 2008 (EDT)

Only in evil?

Do Trolls only show up in evil biomes? I have had multiple seiges of 50+ goblins but nary a troll/beak dog/etc. Just simple goblins. It is fun to watch the traps get sprung!--Kwieland 16:19, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
