Secrets need a raise dead spell to make towers, and you want secrets set to 0, not 5.

If used in fortress mode, ice spells make an enormous amount of friendly fire.
The ice cone attack, obviously, hits multiple targets and doesn't discriminate.
The ice spike sometimes leaves behind liquid material on the ground, which evaporates and is breathed in by everyone around.
...
Recommended for fortress mode to remove syndrome and use only ice spike. It breaks bones.

Friendly fire is the entire point!

Hahaha, that is freaking awesome. Gives me some flashbacks of my fond times as a Diablo 2 necromancer. I will have to steal that one, once I figure out what I can use it for (and with permission of course ;)).

So I'm trying to make an interaction that turns a corpse into a fire imp, through arcane soul binding and flesh morphing and whatnot. However, they seem to not like their summoners and will attempt to bite them to bits (for clarification, I don't want this to happen). I found this amusing when I wandered to a tower full of the things as they promptly swarmed their masters. I don't believe that the problem lies in the interaction (though I could easily be wrong) but maybe in the creature themselves? the raws for the Fire Imp is at the DF Wiki: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Fire_Imp

I suggest duplicating fire imps and making the new duplicate undead. They may be hostile to their masters simply because they exist as living animals, which necromancers are likely still hostile to.

Keep in mind that I could be horribly and completely wrong. :P

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

You are right. As well as turning them into fire imps, the reaction needs to add the zombie tags to them.

Yeah, I did do something along these lines. It worked strangely. Towers weren't filled with the imps as I thought, just . . . people. Like, Gem Setters, Wax Workers, Carpenters, and such. They weren't corpses either. They still moved slowly but they were pretty tough to kill, not like  actual undead who take two swings to fell. I got swarmed by them before I actually got anywhere near the doorway, but I could see that the walls were getting covered with human blood from the outside, so something wasn't right there. I need to do some further investigation apparently.

What exactly do you want to use?

The raws generally go in .txt files in your dwarf fortress/raws/objects folder, but it's important to place them in the correct format (a raw set for a plant or rock type placed in a file with the [OBJECT:CREATURE] flag will not work, and create errors.)

I just realized two things. 1. For the Win and F___ the World have the same initials. 2. They have the same meaning in Dwarf Fortress.

I've got a final update on my elemental and defensive magics secrets coming along. Let me know if you can find them in adventure mode, because I'm actually still testing that (towers are VERY difficult to get into alive when you haven't trained for millenia beforehand!)

I played around with this some, and accidentally invented a new sport.

I call it Dwarven Football.



Spoiler (click to show/hide)

For some reason I thought smaller creatures burned faster so I set the body size of the new creature to be 1 cubic centimeter. I was wrong about the burning, so I kicked the creature in frustration and Dwarven Football was born!

Combine this with your variation of Nicolo's (originally HugoLuman's) resurrect-and-transform interaction and you'll get an interaction that turns corpses into kickable/warhammerable flaming skulls that explode where they land and fly pretty well. Invite all your bloodmage and pyromancer friends over for a friendly pickup game of ultimate doom.

Pictured: how awesome this is.

http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee177/tartarous-dave/img240626897.jpg

The default fuse is 1 tick, just enough time for the creature to realize that it's everything is burning with hellfire and remember that it should still be dead. If you fail to kick the skull hard enough, it will detonate at your feet and most likely burn you fatally. Removing the [FUNCTIONAL] tag will significantly increase the fuse length but it also removes the impact fuse aspect of the skull.

You'll notice that I'm melting and being sprayed with boiling blood in the picture. That was a beta version. The new version will only burn you to death if you fail to kick the skull of your fallen enemy with sufficient might. I believe that is acceptable.
