IIRC, there was a gecko FB with incredibly powerful neurotoxic bodily fluids, and somehow a whole bunch of said fluids got into a stockpile full of egg roasts. After that, random death by paralysis became a fairly frequent occurrence.

Alright, at least now we know for sure that didn't happen here.

To placate a small urge to storytell while testing the non-surprise elements, I'll be doing my own reports here. Also updating the title. And finally getting around to testing shit.

If there are any volunteers as initial victims colonists, step forward. Otherwise, old gaming buddies will be the first dwarves to set foot in my own testing grounds. Like Nakeen, I'm thinking a wasteland... But then, I also kind of want to settle along a mountainside...

Now, for your amusement, I present the founding colonists names!

I'll take one, watching digital versions of myself die horribly is always entertaining.

If either of you guys has a pre-set up game where all the civs spawn as intended, that'd be great. Either one of the spawn variant entities killed everyone or they just straight up didn't spawn.

I could give you my world seed, I had all civ up and running.

Also, my embark was half-wasteland half-mountain (plant-less mountain).

Got no report, I didn't play the past week cause of christmas.

EDIT: Adding the CRAZED tag to Degenerate spawns didn't work as expected. They do are a bit more aggressive (berserk to be precise), but they still flee. I will have to look this up.

Somewhat unrelated, but I feel this mod compilation is going to end up interesting enough to be worth creating a separate thread for, so that random masochists can have fun.

EDIT: Hoo boy. Terrible fate befell on the test-fortress.

After doing some "changes" to some classified raws, everything went batshit insane in less than a year.
First, Degenerate Spawns "raids" slowed down the construction of the trap hallway, and took the life of a full squad of trained militiadwarves.
Secondly, I got this :



I won't spoil you anything, but the enemy came in hundreds. We stand absolutely no chance, and the trap hallway is far from operational. As a result, we are sealed inside the mountain, cut off from the outside world.

Your dear children are acting rather interestingly Mister Frog, I have to PM you about them :p

EDIT2 : The Degenerate Spawns are smarter than I thought. I came to the realization that what I thought was fleeing was in fact some carefully planned guerilla tactic.

Let me explain, because of the CRAZED tag, they approach the fort to harass some dwarves.
But for some obscure reason, they flee soon after landing a hit, and the dwarves all come running at them for hurting them, and you know an angry dwarf is a relentless dwarf.
End result is dwarves running after "fleeing" Degenerates, ending up completely exhausted and finally getting executed in their weakened state. It happens to both civilians and militia alike.

And I like it.

Definitely sounds like a bug with the Degenerates to me. They have NOFEAR and NOEMOTION, so they shouldn't even be experiencing morale effects/fleeing (unless they should, since I have no idea what I'm doing with this version lol) and in any case I'm not even sure what more could be done beyond those tags to prevent this from happening. Gonna go wiki-spelunking for a bit, lol.
