Was not as bad as I expected. Received an "uninvited visitor". Engaged her with single wrestlers until she was over-exerted and passing out. (Took about six.) Then I sent 90% of my fortress after her, and she died quickly with no further casualties. Geekwad 13:43, 16 November 2007 (EST)

Re: fat

Titans are not butcherable by dwarves, so I would assume that's why fat wasn't listed in the side box before. IReverting that change. Bones and skull are obtained from just letting the body rot, so it makes sense for them to be there. --Janus 16:34, 18 January 2008 (EST)

I agree with this decision to leave the value for fat as '-' because Titan's aren't butcherable. Maybe as an alternative n/a would be more appropriate? --Markavian
If you don't list the fat, then you shouldn't list any of that, as it's 'butchering returns' and rotting isn't butchering. --Edward 23:18, 18 January 2008 (EST)

Dead in a cage trap?

I caught one in a cage trap after he passed through two weapon traps. The cage then contained his corpse. 1: Did the weapons kill him or did the cage squish him? 2: (Less importantly) How do I get corpses out of my cage? (Later Edit: Melting the cage deposits his corpse in the smelter building along with all the metal bars.) Benitosimies 06:43, 12 March 2008 (EDT)

My guess is that he died from his wounds. Zardus 02:29, 17 April 2008 (EDT)
I had a titan die after just walking through a couple of stone traps and from standing in a weapon trap after facing a locked door.--LordXaras 10:00, 21 April 2008 (EDT)
I had a titan die from ONE stonefall trap. ONE. They're...really not all that tough, are they? --Corona688 09:41, 14 January 2009 (EST)

No bones?

OK, I got my first titan. It dies, and leaves corpse, which decomposes in my refuse stockpile. Some time passes, I notice, that corpce disappeared. I check skulls and bones, and even totems... No titan bones or skull... OK, thinks me, maybe it got removed at a season change or whatever. Second titan comes, dies, rots. No bones or skull. WTF is going on there?--Dorten 02:49, 25 August 2008 (EDT)

Single Man

I love how the dwarves stay inside order does very little except spam announcements, one untrained markdwarf runs out without a weapon or armor, attacks the titan and ten seconds later walks away with no wounds and a dead titan on the ground behind him, 15 days after a siege...

AND THEN IT CRASHES!

Weak

Is it just me, or are these really weak? I had one rock up, along with some migrants. I decided to use my normal strategy of "stay inside and drink booze until they wander into the traps", except the migrants were too slow and got caught by the titan. The titan spends the next few in game days trying to strangle a dwarf, at which point I get bored and order all the other migrants who are still sitting around outside to attack the titan. They bludgeon the titan to death with their beards, before running off the the booze stockpile. Net losses, 1 dwarf. Is it just me, or are these the weakest 'mega'-beast (except maybe that 3 legged hydra that was always falling over)? Dangerous Beans 05:51, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

They don't have any flags that many difficult creatures have. They feel pain, can have their organs pierced, get tired, trigger traps, can't breathe fire, etc.
