Custom Creatures and Extensive Arena Testing
« on: December 28, 2012, 05:22:59 pm »

Since I have not a lot of time on the web but lots of time in real life. I am willing to do tons of arena testing of custom creatures. I will do lots of tests these would be my default ones.
Custom Creature(CC) vs Basic Goblin Squad (2 swords, 1 whip, and a Ranger) 100x
CC vs Basic Dwarf squad (2 Swords, 1 axe and a spear) 100x
CC vs CC (same kind) 100x
CC vs CC (differnt kind) 100x

I dont have the skills to create the Custom Creatures.  I have ideas for 2 to create 2 CC's.  If someone would please make them i will show the results. PM me you are intrested.

I would love this :)

You would need to download the mod in my signature, and the creatures you could test are:
Any Golem you like. There is a long list, 7 materials, 3 different weapon-arms, so 21 golems. But just testing one should be fine. Iron.
Frost Giants. They are the big bad of the mod, and I never know if they are too weak or too strong.

I would really appreciate the help. Both entity and creature balancing is an art I havent mastered at all.  :-\

I am sorry, but what exactly do these numbers mean ?

What are the Basic Squards you mentioned, their weapons/materials/skills ?

Ah, ok. Then I understand.

Keep in mind that these creatures are balanced for daily fortress life. "Final teir is full candy. Skills max." will kill all of them without problem. You dont even have to do this test... Irongolems are essentially guys wearing iron armor, they have nothing to say against candy.

Thanks for the help. I am curious how the golems die... they do have hydraulic fluids and should be able to bleed to death...
