Question about modding races
« on: March 02, 2009, 08:52:57 pm »
What does the entity token do?  All races have it but it is different from the name of the race.  Does it attach certain hard coded behaviors?

[ENTITY:MOUNTAIN]  for Dwarves

[ENTITY:FOREST] for Elves

[ENTITY:PLAINS] for Humans

[ENTITY:EVIL] for Goblins

[ENTITY:SKULKING] for Kobolds

ENTITY:WHATEVER is just descriptive and for organizational purposes, you can change WHATEVER to whatever you like.

So, what you are saying is that you could make dwarves ENTITY:SPACE and it wouldnt matter?

As long as every single entity has a different 'whatever', than yeah, you could put SPACE there are it would still work.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

To be clear it does matter that the Entity actually exist. It's the civilization definition basically. It just doesn't matter what the entity name is, as long as there is a matching entity definition.
