Need some help!
« on: August 27, 2010, 09:35:14 pm »

Okay, I'm just getting into modding, and I have to know: Is there a way to make sieges bring megabeasts in the same way that goblins can bring trolls? So, like, a goblin siege could have a Titan working for them?

I'm not sure, but I'll do some research on the wiki.

Well... you could make them non-megabeasts and make them like trolls.

Well, it'd probably be a bit of an extensive process, but you could take any megabeasts from 40D and make them into .31 megabeast-things.

Or you would just make them from scratch.

Just make a new file like creature_megabeast or w/e

Unfortunately the Goblins bringing Trolls behaviour is hard coded or was in 40d. The closest you will get is being able to loosely define what mounts a civ brings when besieging your forts.

edit: If you kept the [CREATURE:TROLL] token and replaced the rest with a completely new creature you might get the Goblins brining that instead. The creature you replace it with would likely have to live in an area that overlapped with a Goblin civ's territory for them to get brought, though I'm not certain.

edit2: Using castes you might be able to get a variety of creatures. Again I've not tested this but in theory it could work.

What? No. It's not hardcoded, they are said to use evil animals thus they bring trolls. They also mount beak dogs. But they can mount anything, from raptors to giant cockmonsters.

On the contrary, I've never seen any race bring anything which isn't a mount or a troll.

Add more evil animals. In my mod they bring swamp trolls as well along with other stuff, and they ride cave evil critters I've added.

P.S. Maybe it's because they have BUILDING_DESTROYER:2 as well, so they could bring evil siege animals.
