Wait for the next release. I want usable mugs damn it!

We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

I'll take .34.11 thanks. I want to know I'll get to kill things for sure.

... Could be they have evolved as a species to the point where they have a survival instinct, and the intelligence to know they're beat for now. Just means next time they'll send a much bigger army.

Though to be fair we already had at least one living embodiment of "FUCK YOU" walking around with a now named and well loved pointy metal stick. Then we stuffed this already veritable engine of death into a room with various toxins and pointy sticks and made him/her even scarier.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

I'd say trading weather control for being able to survive things that would kill other flying creatures is fair.  I oddly enough see them as emplyed in a manner similar to UAVs just with helmet cams instad of cameras in the nose of a plane-shaped thing. And that makes em laugh for some reason. I never said they were particularly strong either. AT least that's wht I've been going by.

U - Proper offensive measures and telekenesis, low endurance for strenuous activity, and said measures are laughably weak compared to a battlemage. Teleportation can fatally backfire.
P - Flight, durabilty, physically very weak compared to ground welling creatures. Living UAVs!
E - Raw strength stamina, but can't fly, and limited in employment of many weapons.

All in all they still need the same measures to fight and survive properly like everyone else. And betting machine guns that work with thier... limitations is quite challenging.

EDIT II: TRIPLE NINJA'D! Damn it!

I would like to make clear, after thinking over the fact, that there definitely should be such a thing as spawn-bone armor.  It should probably take 2-3 full spawn skeletons to make a complete set, but I say it should be done, if only for rule of cool.

Thoughts on this idea?

[Splint]

It does sounds pretty badass....

Spawn bone armor = Dwarf bone armor.

[Xahnel]

Combine them as a special squad outfit with the spawnbone scythe. Call them the Spawn Squad. And watch out for the darkness that will encroach on their hearts and minds.

Spawn bone armor = Dwarf bone armor.

...
And now we've gone recursive.

Did i not tell you that axes are the ultimate anti spawn weaponry? they can't do much when they wiggle around on the ground without limbs....

[Mr Frog]

I suppose that if delimbing is a problem, I can give the next incarnation of the Spawn the ability to light people on fire with their minds.

Do it, they are far too easy now. Apparently.

[Hanslanda]

Or bust a move.

[soulslicerjames]

I'm imagining it mostly being bones forged onto metal plates purely for intimidation purposes, but thats mainly due to the problem of how little protection it could provide otherwise.  (for example, I believe the only hard part of bypassing the ribcage would be how you can't see where it is under all the flesh)

Or bust a move.

Are we bringing in Manamaids now?

[Splint]

Too easy with axes to be honest. hence the whole  limited number of none pikes we were supposed ot have -_-

[Xahnel]

@Mr Frog: give them the ability to convert more that dwarves. Give the different types of spawn different natural abilities. And make those infection forms. You wanna make the spawn scary? The ability to instantly convert any creature into a spawn should be nice and scary. And make them steal things, just so they will take the possessions of the migrant and trader caravans, and leave nothing behind when they ambush those groups, thus making the fortress poorer.

[Splint]

They already are infectious and do in fact steal shit.
