If you've played Cave Story, you might have noticed that the Mimiga live somewhat like dwarves: in caves. Me, having a strange mood at the time, created this.

The Mimiga graphics were modified from Pixel's art (the guy who made Cave Story) to fit the DF professions... they fit snugly to Mayday's 16x16 pixel template. So, have some fun!

Here's the DFFD link:

As a newbie here, I need critique.

UPDATE: 1.1: added the spelling fix on the threats, and added a few items.

They are neat. And somehow remind me of cutrebolds .

Looks very nice, testing now
Edit: Hmm... I am sorry, but they don't appear ingame as a civ. Did I do something wrong?
The files are all at the right place.

Well, sometimes you need to gen them a lot before you get a Mimiga civ. My modded-out (and a bit broken) DF sometimes gen one with Mimigas in them, so just regen the world.

I did that tree times, but they at least appeared in the legends.
I'll try a bit more!
Edit: 15 worlds and no luck...

Now I'm going to play a mimiga fortress that makes an island in the sky and places a heart of magma at its core to keep the

inside sealed in. Looking forward to seeing those (very cute) graphics in action.

I think the reason mimigas are not listed under accessible civs is the same reason that kobolds are not listed: they live in caves. Also, due to lack of religion, mimigas tend to get beat up on by humans during world gen.

Also, currently the mimiga entity file includes unique weapons (from the Kobold Cave mod?) that should probably also be included in the download.

By the way, why is the mimiga entity file missing [LEADER_TYPE:KING]? He was the most badass of them all.

Finally, proofread the mimiga speech text, suggested fixes below:

who was too short to live
who futilely attacked my legs
who was cute, but not cute enough to save [PRO_POS] life
who was the perfect softness for my new fur coat
who tried to kill me with [PRO_POS] sword, only to die in vain before my power
whom I stuffed to the brim with red flowers and left to die
whose pleas went ignored by PETA while I tortured it
whose face reminded me of a seal and who was thus properly clubbed
whose civilization is even punier than that of the Kobolds

Ballos is not evil, he's just misunderstood. Unless you plan to place a maniac instead.

Nice job on this mod. Might give it a try sometime.

[carriontrooper]

Hmmm. I'm guessing it's the chopper and the shovel. Well, next update I'm going to put some mimiga items (probably some instruments and toys with the weapons noted above...) so, any requests on what to put up? Maybe Balrog figurines or even Curly Brace's panties? *snicker*

[Cles]

Haha, adorable. They're like what cutebolds should have been, really, though I like both. I don't think King was an actual king, just the leader with that name. I think mimigas are dwarf-sized.

[prism indigo]

I just started a fort with this mod. I couldn't make a cave and was far too lazy to go find a cave. So I'm just going to build a giant pillar and have a platform on the 4th platform and up.

minor updatebump. Look at OP for more details.
