TRACKING, SITUATIONAL_AWARENESS

Do these affect view range? I know that the observer skill affects the likelihood of detecting an enemy, but I don't believe either of these do so.

Oh sorry, I didn't wish to cause confusion that Those 2 skills "aid" in the maximum line of sight.

They do however help with detecting hidden foes... Better yet I have no idea if that is true either. But I always max those out on my scouts anyways. You know for safety measures.

Oh, and in the arena, it lists them in the right alphabetical position, and you can view the correct names with k, ". Why does it do that? And in the adventure mode listing, it calls them something like "Slime 1 the Nothing".

They're missing the [CASTE_NAME] tag. You need to use it, even if you're not planning to add any castes with unique names.

Shouldn't the slimes use the pudge template on the fluffy wambler instead of fat?

To this day the elven warrior castes hunt the enemies of nature for the purpouse of bringing back slain intelligent beings for consumption by their leaders and generals, for the good of nature and the survival of elvenkind.

And that is the story of how napalm was invented.

Actually if you check the raws fluffy warbler "pudge" is just renamed fat with some structural tokens added on, the default template is the fat one though.
