Hunting Megabeasts and Genocide
« on: May 17, 2009, 04:53:58 pm »
Soooooo I created a custom map, supposedly where it was only a 20% megabeast die out rate before the aging stopped. Still can't seem to find any blasted dragons or anything though. A few skeletal trolls and other boring things, but nothing special. Is there anything special to look for when it comes to finding megabeasts without quests? Anywhere thats good to look?

Also, just wondering, but has anyone ever wiped out an entire species? Just wandered to every human/elf/dwarf town and slaughtered them all?

There have been people on this board who quite litterally killed every historically important being in the game.

Though it is a lot tougher now that there are nomads.

Its possible to gen a world with only a certain species. (Which leaves you with the title "Age of <species>". Woe betide the guy who gens the "Age of Elf"

I got an Age of Elves after giving them the carnivorous tag and removing their wood pref for metal. I also gave them natural claws with a 1:6 gore attack. They will also eat anything that is meat. Even themselves.

Auto canibalism?

IE walking into a town and getting the message

Random Elf has eatten A Random elf leg

Random elf as given in to the pain

Random elf has bled to death


Seems like an evolutionary dead end.

They'd be no match for the fireball creatures made of alcohol I'm gonna have to make next update.

"Rum spirit [pun intentional] throws a fireball at you!"
"Rum spirit's right arm has exploded!"
"Rum spirit's left arm has exploded!"
"Rum spirit's head has etc."

Kamikazeeeeeeeeee!

you should make it that the rum spirits leave behind an explosive heart to use like a grenade.

I was thinking that modding in something which carries a barrel of booze and has an "attack" which raises its body heat could also work, but I haven't tried yet.
