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 - given its uniqueness, a bronze colossus ought to become an [[artifact]] statue, ideally with the bronze colossus's name. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 16:47, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

:This is not just the colossus. If you have a place with lots of iron in it (for example a chalk mountain with tons of magnetite), you can make everything out of iron, and even use magnetite as a building material. You will barely need obscure metals like bronze or fine pewter. You just use iron, or if you have enough coal, steel. [[User:Petersohn|Petersohn]] 22:38, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

::I think you've entirely missed the point of my comment - I wasn't complaining that bronze is not valuable, but that the Masterwork Bronze Statue dropped from a dead Bronze Colossus is nearly worthless in comparison to the death drop of a common chasm creature. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 00:05, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
