40d Talk:Iron man

What happens to severed limbs of iron men? Echo Hotel 12:36, 4 March 2008 (EST)

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

Not so formidable

had 2 woodcutters, complete rookies, chop 1 and a couple batmen to death in seconds --Digger 19:05, 4 March 2008 (EST)

A single lucky shot can take down almost anything. That doesn't mean it's easy to beat normally. --FunnyMan 19:26, 19 March 2008 (EDT)

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.GarrieIrons 23:21, 23 September 2008 (EDT)

Halloween stuff

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 ... --Aykavil 10:11, 8 July 2008 (EDT)
