Curse You! - Version 0.2

Features:

A new selection of curses in world gen, which includes the ability for dieties to curse those who profane them with... some interesting curses. Gender swap, loss of voice, loss of intelligence, complete rage madness... just some examples.
This list will grow tomorrow. Please feel free to suggest your own.
Also, from the next version onwards, you yourself will be subject to these in Adventurer mode, and others in Dwarf mode... although some won't change much, some will change EVERYTHING. Of course, then comes the cures...

So releases look like:
0.1 World Gen Curses
0.2 Can be used in game under... special certain circumstances.
0.3 Can be cured should you so suffer.
1.0 Lots more. And anything else I can think of adding. Should be !!FUN!!.

Changelog:

0.1 - Added basic curses.
0.2 - Fixed bug with intelligent tag, was meant to be can_learn and can_speak. Fixed transformation tags, lower case "start"!


EDIT: Having upload errors!

Hello, I have one that would hurt.   

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 Loss of fast travel. 

I figured that; I just wanted to know if it was possible

[EmperorJon]

Ok, bugfix now works. (Should do anyway)

Don't think removing fast travel is possible, and it's kind of pointless.

[Logic]

Use [CE_REMOVE_TAG:INTELLIGENT] for the thing that removes learning and speaking, instead of [CE_REMOVE_TAG:CAN_SPEAK] and [CE_REMOVE_TAG:CAN_LEARN]. It will do the same thing.

EDIT: Also, do you know if deities can bless people too?

[Putnam]

Neither CAN_SPEAK nor CAN_LEARN can be used in CE_REMOVE_TAG.

[Reelya]

Use [CE_REMOVE_TAG:INTELLIGENT] for the thing that removes learning and speaking, instead of [CE_REMOVE_TAG:CAN_SPEAK] and [CE_REMOVE_TAG:CAN_LEARN]. It will do the same thing.

EDIT: Also, do you know if deities can bless people too?

The effects of the "curse" can be good or bad, so curse = bless. e.g. it's probably possible to make a "curse" where you just never need to sleep and never age.

[Logic]

When I said bless, I meant "Can gods reward people?"

Curse that make you:
lose 1/2 of your Str at night
turn your body size to small during the day
enrage you every new moon
all xcreature attack you on sight

[Reelya]

Isn't being "cursed" with cool powers being rewarded?

[EmperorJon]

Neither CAN_SPEAK nor CAN_LEARN can be used in CE_REMOVE_TAG.

Use [CE_REMOVE_TAG:INTELLIGENT] for the thing that removes learning and speaking, instead of [CE_REMOVE_TAG:CAN_SPEAK] and [CE_REMOVE_TAG:CAN_LEARN]. It will do the same thing.

EDIT: Also, do you know if deities can bless people too?

Before, when it used INTELLIGENT.

Unsupported CE remove tag: INTELLIGENT

Now that is uses CAN_SPEAK/LEARN

*desolate landscape* *wolf howls* *tumbleweed*

So... I'm thinking you're both wrong there.

[EmperorJon]

Isn't being "cursed" with cool powers being rewarded?

Well yes, it would be... but you're not.

EDIT: Also, do you know if deities can bless people too?

When I said bless, I meant "Can gods reward people?"

Yes, they could. But they won't in the game. And modding it in will look silly as a result; you'll profane the temple, and then get rewarded!

[EmperorJon]

Could anyone hazard a guess at why the AI never uses this curse against me/eachother? It works fine when I use it on them, has all the intended effects. But they never use it on me, or eachother.

what do you think? will it work? it should send the foe into a crazed furious frenzy

[EmperorJon]

Cool! I'm still playing with different ideas to include in this. I'm trying to work out what I actually want to make here...

[Deon]

It is really unbalanced though .
