I can, although I am reluctant to overwrite the existing creatures and civs of the game, which would be the only real solution to pikes existing in the first place.

I think a rapier would actually be nice...

Anyway, I am doing all these graphics right now, so I'm not going to be seriously modding this right now, however, when I get back around to it, I suppose I could do a major change to the way the mod looks.

That could mean things like going for full-surface-dweller, or at least, mostly surface-dweller. I could make them a tropical race of city-dwellers, with desert cities that farm in the shade of caves, so they might still have underground plants. The general tropical nature, though, could leave them capable of handling swamps or tropical rivers. The problem, then, though, would be distinguishing them more from humans than from dwarves...

I know this is a Naga mod, but have some Centaurs anyway. :B
Creature editted(with permission!) from SethCreiyd's Flora and Fauna mod, they aren't very artistic like the Nagas, and prefer effective weapons that get the job done, rather then a flashy rapier or an ornate spear.
They also only have two nobles, for the sake of having a military, this probably causes problems..

Do with this as you wish.

Heh, thanks.

This wasn't intended to be a big mod, just a one-offer that involved a small tweak so that you could play as a serpenty type.

That's not to say that I don't want to do more major modding sometime later, (I'd like to eventually make a "fae wilds" mod with no humans, just lots of mythological creatures) just that I've shelved it for now.

And swarms of stun-locking pixies that turn you into one of their own?

I'd love to help with such a mod, though I've never built a creature or entity from the ground up.

Actually, using spouse converter might not be a bad idea if I ever go that route, especially when throwing it on a child snatcher as well...

Anyway, I want to wait for Toady to put more versatility into the creature RAWs, so that creatures can have more meaningful differences before I set off full-steam on that voyage.

Indeed, woot :J

However… are the creature graphics up anywhere without the "brown crud" background? Most graphics sets with that don't do anything interesting with alpha, so I can just strip it, but this appears to blend to that background.

Oh, and
IF you ever go the way of giving them venom, I suggest making several castes with different kinds of venomous bites, ones the can kill on their own being the rarest, or making all the venomous castes rare among Nagas.
Might be fun.

Sorry, I made these to go with the Phoebus pack, which has those brown background things.

I'm not sure if I have a complete without-background pack, as I wound up adding many of the handheld doohickys directly to the sheet after I had released the original version, and only have original bodies that I copy-pasted over and over onto those background sheets because I was afraid GIMP would explode if I added 700 layers to a single image.

I can probably dig up one that doesn't have a few of the images, however, if you like, and you can try just deleting the background from the beekeepers and such.

I'm getting strange issues with caravans from multiple civs showing up at the same time.

Great work on this mod, by the way. I think it single handedly rekindled my enjoyment of DF.

That's funny, I thought only one was allowed to show up at the same time, and they'd basically just wait in line...

I haven't tested this all that thoroughly, as I've not yet had a chance to really sit down and do a serious fortress since 34.01, so tell me what happens. Does setting up another depot help?

Rhenaya · « **Reply #71 on:** March 25, 2012, 10:20:43 pm »

from my drow mod i can say its pretty normal for several civs showing up on same time

you just get a dropdown of the waiting civs in a depot after hitting "t" before seeing the contents, the bigger problem i see is that you made naga active on several seasons (so theey sometimes bring caravans 3 times a year unlike over civs)

it only gets hilarious if the trading civs are at war with each other, like playing as dwarves, while my drows and humans both show up in summer and are at worldgen war

then it is recommended to have several trade depots

NW_Kohaku · « **Reply #72 on:** March 25, 2012, 10:23:02 pm »

Yeah, it must have been changed since how it used to be...

I'll rework how they go about doing things when I next update the mod. They shouldn't come more than once per year.

Summer should be an appropriate month, and I'll just let them overlap with humans.

So just curious with the new clothes happiness issues. How do the nagas handle it since they don't have feet.

It isn't based upon feet, it is based upon whatever limb possesses the STANCE token, and their tails have STANCE, and their tail warmers are worn on the STANCE limb.

That means they need a minimum of a shirt-type item, a skirt-type item, and a tail-warmer.
