What exactly does the [DIFFICULTY:#] setting do in the raws? Im looking to make a small creature very dangerous as if it has high skills.

And is it me or does the [MALE] and [FEMALE] tags not work?

Difficulty determines how deep it places them in adventure mode/reclaim caves, and the chance that they are wounded the first few river attacks.

I have no reports on the MALE/FEMALE tags as far as I know.

[AlanL]

i put a female tag on a creature and saw the game refer to some of them as male in the game... is gender determined on world generation?

And thanks for the reply, I guess i'll just use a big size and pretend its regular size but powerful anyway when playing the game.

I haven't tried any creature hacking, but in your case, I'd try giving it really high numbers for attack [ATTACK:MAIN:BYTYPE:MOUTH:bite:bites:10:60:GORE], something like that, and maybe give it a few points of [DAMBLOCK:].  That might work.

[AlanL]

It could, but im trying to get it to successfully hit more often rather than just hit harder. Damblock would work.

Gender for the historical figures is determined on generation.

[AlanL]

I'm talking about your run of the mill cave baddie.

Attacks which are weak enough to not injure will be unsuccessful attacks, so a small creature will need a more dangerous attack to make a dent.  For more attacks overall, maybe you can give it several different attacks, something akin to tentacle demons.

[AlanL]

Not exactly what i meant, i dont care that much about it glancing off (when i do, then i'll up the attack strength), i want it to miss less, because it kills the fun when your adventurer can dodge so well itll win over a critter with absurd firepower.

Thanks for all the hints so far though, this community is one of the few ones thats actually helpful    :p

Oh, and when making civilizations, how can you change what material they make their stuff out of? Or can you?

If you compare the human, elf and dwarf entity entries you can see the material controls that are available.  Nothing very specific.

[AlanL]

are prefs what im looking for? Im basically looking for a way to make civilizations turn out steel and iron weapons rather than iron and bronze respectively.

Like I said, nothing very specific.  You can have them go for metal, or wood, and so on, but you can't micromanage materials at this time.

[AlanL]

So i guess that means "not really"? Oh well, it isn't that big of a deal, it was more of a modding preference than a need. Having a civilization go for metal would work though, in fact, if it works like i think it does then id already have most of the items that i want to micromanage covered.
