I have a simple, yet insane modding idea.
« on: May 18, 2012, 03:40:11 pm »

Say I were to modify the RAWs of every creature in Dwarf Fortress and give them intelligence, the ability to equip, and being able to grasp things. I'm thinking it would be like the Disney universe, except with buckets o' gore. What's the worst that could happen?

Most of them dying out in world gen and not featuring in worlds?

Dwarfs would not be able to butcher any of them if you give them the intelligent tag, though. So all the food would be plants unless you make them tolerant to eating other intelligent creatures, in which case they'll be eating humans and elves too.

FYI, creatures only have weapons if they're from entities.

Maybe? maybe creatures need a lair for this. Not quite sure, though.

I believe HABIT needs a lair for the creature to work properly.

I still hope Toady adds an ability to assign "equipment" and "loot" to non-lair creatures at some point.

Armok protect us all.

Do it anyway, and tell us how fun your world is.
