I've added a few fun things that I'd like to share.
The first is a trap component, the Crushing Plate:
[ITEM_TRAPCOMP:ITEM_TRAPCOMP_CRUSHINGPLATE]
[NAME:plate:plates]
[ADJECTIVE:crushing]
[DAMAGE:200:BLUDGEON]
[WEIGHT:300]
[HITS:1]
[MATERIAL_SIZE:8]
[IS_SPIKE]
[WOOD]
[METAL]
So, it does less damage than the giant axe AND has no crit... but it can go in Spike traps! Personally, I only put them where there is a ceiling or a wall on both sides (just like I only put stone fall traps where there is a ceiling), but there's currently no way to make the game do that. Just some variety... and I think it's fun to have something like a bridge/atom smasher that actually doesn't destroy all their stuff when it hits them!
The next is a new race to add if you think orcs are a bit too tame:

Basically, it's a GCS, only not so large, able to wield weapons, wear a little armor (body only, basically), pick locks, avoid traps, and attack in large groups.
Yes, the name is lame. I'm VERY open to suggestions.
Also, I made it only size 4 for now... I suspect that mass webbing along with paralyzing bites from the wrestlers will MORE than make up for it. The entity is a lot like the orcs.
I've face them once, and it was a small group, and it was nasty. I do think I need to give them a ranged weapon (they currently rely on their webbing only)...
Basically, I wanted something like orcs that was nasty in combat, but that didn't leave so much nice stuff to melt down.
Anybody know if there's a way to make another civ butcherable?
