so ive been researching legends....
« on: March 01, 2012, 01:37:41 pm »

... to test my changes for my goblin mod, and i have happened upon some... anomalies.

the big one here -

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
after being murdered, this goblin packs up and moves.  then a half century later, this corpse is taken prisoner.  this goblin is listed as having died in the year 7, but that does not have slowed him down any.

note:  if something is raised by a necromancer, that message is included in the legend mode recount of that creature.

then we have:

the goblin gods i have allowed seem to have a sense of humor. "I CURSE YOU, LIZARD MAN, TO BECOME A MANLIKE LIZARD WHEN THE MOON IS FULL!"

Surprisingly both of these been seen before ;p

Yeah, bug. Except the second one, think of it as goblin gods cursing something to assume the form of a less sophisticated form of species

their gods are invariably in the form of themselves - "depicted as a male goblin"

for some reason, when i read about goblin pantheons,  i get the image of goblins sitting on clouds in togas tossing off lightning bolts.  someone needs to draw that.

they have funny god sphere combinations, but they bizzarly make sense, from a goblin viewpoint.  gods of "torture, muck, and love", "thalldom, order, oaths, and friendship", ive even gotten a completely sea themed one.  had a water-associated name, spheres were lakes and beaches, and started a temple/cult both with water themed names and positions.

one in perhaps fifteen will have a non-goblin shape.  ive seen a honeybee god of harvests and fertility, and a cappybara god of lies and treachery.

also, were sheep seem to be common in my world.  in my last (now deleted) world, i had a kobold were-sheep with a full name.
