A friend recommended it to me years ago, and I thought I'd try. On my second fort, I thought I was going ok, we got attacked but my unarmed and untrained dwarves fought off the attacker and I was rebuilding. I told my friend and he asked if it was goblins. No, it was a Titan. I thought it was normal, but I haven't seen one since in the thousands of hours I've played.
...ere the titans get hungry.
Was the Titan a Forgotten Beast? I saw one of those at least once per fort. Once it was a completely helpless squirrel made of ears that got caught in a trap without my noticing, once it was a colossal brass spider that casually strolled through my fortress, sticking all my surviving dwarves onto walls and ceilings with a web cannon. I had to wait for those dwarves to die of dehydration, since the fort isn't considered lost while they're still alive, but they couldn't free themselves to eat or drink.
