Is this freshwater or saltwater? Because alternatively you could breed a large amount of crocodiles and unleash them into the waters... indirect genocide.

Look in the entity file for the civilization you want your creature in, and add [CREATURE:CREATURE_NAME] to your civilization, with CREATURE_NAME being the identity of your creature.

Make sure you don't have another [CREATURE] in the entity first.

Is this in a new text file or an old one? If it's in a new text file, do you have the "textfilename" and [OBJECT:ENTITY] at the top?

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

> The Adamantine Colossus has the [MEGABEAST] tag, which causes it to follow Megabeast generation rules. [LAIR] could also do it.
> The Adamantine Colossus has the [FANCIFUL], [LARGE_PREDATOR], and [SPHERE:XXX] tags, which might mess with things (though this is less likely than the above)
> The Adamantine Colossus has no breeding castes to keep a civ populated, but then they really shouldn't die.
> The Adamantine Colossus [CAN_LEARN]... but very far down the entry.  it might be better to give them [INTELLIGENT] or [CAN_LEARN] BEFORE you start defining tissues.  Not sure if that matters (probably doesn't) but it's worthwhile
> It's [FIREIMMUNE_SUPER].  This has nothing to do with your problem, but while I'm working on debugging.


Sorry I couldn't help more... I'm a dabbling modder myself, but I *have* gotten a civ to work with [NOT_LIVING] creatures, so that's not it.

Megabeasts can form civs, the roaming tokens are dropped when forming a new civ. General spawning rules do not apply to civilization creatures. Smakemupagus pointed out the real issue: there was no entity defined.
