EMPIRE! CWBG VIII: It's Not An Event Without A Few Corpses

[SamBurke]

I think the more important issue is the fact that the free-standing metal statue is three miles tall. Like Aedilred said, that's six times taller than the Burj Khalifa, a building that is itself almost 1000 feet taller than the next tallest building in the world. Something that size implies an architectural knowledge that surpasses anything we have in the real world, which isn't even getting into the specifics of materials.

Or the weight... Seriously, that thing would have to be hecka strong, especially to be eight-legged and presumably have some ornamental features (3 heads, carvings, etc)...

That said, it's a wildly cool idea, if it was just a bit shorter. Even the Titan in Maos is only a few thousand feet tall, if I understand it correctly. And that's using Shintouite, which explicitly works better the more pressure it's in.
