Same place you put all the other files.

I placed the Dalek creature description in the creature default, and Dalek entity description in the entity default.  I'm not exactly sure what you mean.

K, nevermind, got it to work. 

This is really cool.  Just wish the extermination ray would light them on fire or something.

How does Dalek Cloning work?

[WillowLuman]

Er, right now they just have male and female "cloning unit" castes set to be incredibly rare and produce many offspring, to ensure they don't die out in worldgen. The ratio for the cloning units is so low that you shouldn't see them very often in any interactions with the daleks.

If they were playable, I could scrap that and put in something convoluted with syndromes, gibs, and resurrections, but to make them work as antagonists this is the way it must be.

Say, anyone encountered cybermen in fort mode? I'd appreciate some data on that.

I just noticed this. Well played. I'll test this mod out on Fort mode and see if I can find any Cybermen. A guy did find a slab in Legends, so it shouldn't take too long.

[WillowLuman]

Hmm, I want to do a Special Weapons Dalek, but I can't think of a way to make them deadlier or more destructive than the others already are. Thoughts?

Bit of an oddity with Cybermen in Adventure mode, the cyber leaders will convert you, and then keep right on trying to kill you.

Furthermore, arena testing shows converting others into cybermen doesn't make them loyal to you. Just makes them into angry cyborgs who still want to murder you but now have robot powers to do it with.

Try breaking line of sight or doing it from stealth.

Tried it in adventure mode, They still wanted to kill me. And judging by the large numbers of cyberman corpses all over the floor... This is there MO.

[Putnam]

I think he's saying that you need to do that so you don't get converted, not so that you don't get attacked.

[druid91]

Well what I was wondering would be if this would hamper there ability in fortress mode. Since they aren't gathering huge retinues of cybermen to go to war with them, how would they do much to harm your fortress?

EDIT: Just to clarify, I love this mod, including the Daleks (The "Oh !@#$" moments you get when ambushed by Daleks in adventure mode are just awesome... Nothing cuts you down to size like your adventurers army getting trashed by laser gun toting time travelers.)

[WillowLuman]

Strange, in my tests cybermen towers were full of cybermen. The leaders would still attack you after conversion, but the rank-and-file wouldn't, just like necromancers. They'd convert you, stealth or no, if you came within a tile of them, but as long as you were stealthed when the did so, the minions wouldn't attack.

But those tests were back in 34.08. Something in the game code might have been buggered up since then. Still, I'm sure the cyber leaders shouldn't be attacking their minions...

Anyway, the cybermen work on the [BERSERK] token, which makes a creature attack anything that's not of it's own species and also [BERSERK], but also not attack those like it. Upon transformation (not in arena mode), the transformee will no longer be hostile to the creature that transformed it, provided they were not wrestling when the transformation occurred. In my tests with 34.11, so far this still works.

Tested a cyber adventurer today, stole the slab out of a keep. So far, I have discovered that bogeymen are superior to cybermen... at dying. No weapons, but I can hit like a truck and tear them apart with grabbing and wrenching. Also, seems that the cyber leader's ability to repair downed cybermen, combined with turning corpses into partially converted cyberslaves, can be used in a roundabout way to turn a corpse into a complete cyberman, loyal to you but without the "hitpoint" system.

Maybe make them have better/thicker armour and more damaging weapons.  Although, they should be SUPER rare... unless you want SUPER DALEKS destroying everyone and everything, becoming a completely dominant race. Edit:

While I voted for counting the shadows... What about not blinking?

[WillowLuman]

I just don't see a viable way to have Weeping Angels.
