What would happen if...?
« on: August 16, 2010, 07:26:49 pm »

I gave dwarves extra body parts, like 4 legs or 6 lungs? Would they be tougher?

anything but extra throats, brains, hearts, and lungs would be slightly stronger in defense but would likely passout more often due to pain.

Get them killed more often. Good for laughs.

If I gave them extra hands, could they carry more? (Sorry about all the questions, but I'm a bit nervous about modding.)

Shouldn't be that hard to find out. Do it, and put one in the arena with 10 axes. See how many he drops.

Also, I think there's a correlation between the encumberance limit and number of (significant? Maybe non-small?) bodyparts. You'll be able to carry a lot more as an adventurer if you split the HUMANOID body part into several smaller ones (left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg, etc.), and I presume that carries over to Fortress mode as well. Well, at least that was what I think was causing it.

That said, it might have something to do with LIMB bodyparts specifically.

Alright, thank you. I'll try it out.
