I wonder...

Special Weapons Daleks anyone?

[bukitodinos]

YES

[IndigoFenix]

I made a Vashta Nerada, if you want it.  They aren't nearly as vicious as the ones in the show, but remember that those ones were starving.  These are basically super-vermin that will mostly go for your stored food (and are far better at it than any existing vermin), though they might devour the occasional Dwarf as well if you're not careful.  They can appear anywhere except in magma, and show up as blank (unexplored) tiles, so they could be hiding in any shadow.

Inspiration strikes!

And ~25 minutes of work and no testing WHAT-soever gives me this:

[WillowLuman]

I was thinking of making a clone of one of the fungus trees, and having the wood form an evaporating syndrome that sticks to walls.

[Putnam]

I don't think that evaporating syndromes will stick to walls, is the problem.

[WillowLuman]

Well, we'll have fun with it. I think I'll have it come from the caverns in some way though. Right now, trying to think of a way to make special weapons daleks have even more more firepower than normal daleks.

[WillowLuman]

  Question about cybermen

 do they change just the human race of do they change all races? (the dwarves, goblins, elves, ect)

and how about other modded in races like the fortress defense races?

They change anything with [INTELLIGENT] and a few other tags. Haven't tested it on everything, but I've converted, Gobbos, Elves, Dwarves, and Humans in adventure mode. They cannot convert the undead or non-living things, not sure about animal people.

[Spirit of Power]

Cyberdorfs.

ELVES WILL BE UPGRADED. WITH MAGMA.

[WillowLuman]

Oh, yeah, testing shows that kobolds cannot be converted.

[IndigoFenix]

Oh, yeah, testing shows that kobolds cannot be converted.

Kobolds don't have the [INTELLIGENT] tag, is the problem.  [INTELLIGENT] = [CAN_LEARN]+[CAN_SPEAK], and Kobolds can't speak (except in [UTTERANCES], which doesn't cut it).

[Putnam]

I thonk they do have that, they just have UTTERANCES on top.

[NRDL]

I know this is a stupid question, but where do I put the body file for the Daleks?  I just keep getting an error whenever I make a new world, I think that's because I only put in the entity and creature files, not the actual body file. 

Sorry if this has already been answered.

[Putnam]

Same place you put all the other files.

[WillowLuman]

Say, do I have the most recent version up? Cyber leaders should be able to resuscitate downed cybermen if it is.
