I think you don't need the tag removals - just putting your new child/maxage values should overwrite the last ones.

[Magmacube_tr]

Yeah, to my knowledge, the what is specified the last in the raws in the one that gets processed?

[Eric Blank]

those removal functions are explicitly for creature variations, which you have to create beforehand and in a separate file, not creature raws. You can create a creature variation that does that and only that, and then apply it to the creature, but theyre right that it is faster to overwrite them.

[DPh Kraken]

APPLY_CURRENT_CREATURE_VARIATION is the correct syntax for using CV tags without defining it in a separate file. They're used correctly here to remove the tags, but I imagine the difficulty is that the parser is reading that, reading the replacement tokens, and then applying the variation that takes out the tags you just redefined.

What (moddable) vampire property makes him persecuted? and assuming false identities? The fact that he murdered someone? Or that he doesn't live or age? Hoe does this work?

[brewer bob]

BLOODSUCKER causes vampires to murder people and get killed during vampire purges.

BLOODSUCKER causes vampires to murder people and get killed during vampire purges.

Thanks!
Is this somehow connected to ethics? Can I make a civ which does not purge vampires?
Also, are there other moddable features relating purges, persucutions and prosecutions?

[Acymetric]

Doesn't the NO_AGING tag "arouse suspicion" for both vampires and necromancers (who don't have BLOODSUCKER)?

Yes

Vampires get persecuted for both their lack of aging and their bloodsucking.

[joostheger]

Thanks!

Is there a way to promote the formation of certain special entities, like troupes, merchant companies, mercenary companies, craftguilds and so on? In other words: what is the reason and trigger that these organisations are founded and can we manually stimulate it?

What causes the message “You’ve spotted a giant cave spider!” to pop up when you encounter a GCS in adventure mode?

[Eric Blank]

AMBUSHPREDATOR does that one

How's the BP_RELATION stuff work exactly? For example, the standard humanoid rib cages:

[BODY:RIBCAGE]

Code: [Select]

[BODY:RIBCAGE]
The number lets you stack identical body parts.  These can be individually damaged by wounds, but you don't have to define them explicitly one by one.  If you don't give them individual names (see teeth) they'll be preceded by ordinal numbers (first, second, etc).

[BP_RELATION:BY_CATEGORY:RIB_FALSE:AROUND:BY_CATEGORY:LIVER:5]
[BP_RELATION:BY_CATEGORY:RIB_FLOATING:AROUND:BY_CATEGORY:LIVER:5]

There are a total of 14 true ribs, and they're defined to be around the heart by a value of 5. Is this defined collectively, or for each individual rib? Ie., is the heart covered by true ribs 14*5=70?

Similarly, is it also covered by false ribs 6*5=30? Does it add up? 70+30? Ie., it's fully covered by a rib of some sort? Doesn't a value of 100 mean that it's fully around something?

Also, is there a reason the rib definitions lack [ LEFT ] and [ RIGHT ]?

Question about LIKES_SITE, when a site-type is mentioned, without the ability to construct it themself

For Example:
DEFAULT_SITE_TYPE:CAVE
LIKES_SITE:CITY

or
DEFAULT_SITE_TYPE:DARK_FORTRESS
LIKES_SITE:CAVE_DETAILED

1. Do the sites need to be conquered first and part of the civilization, before part of the population will move there? Or will it also cause peacefull migration from the civ's population to sites of this type owned by other civs?
2. It is hinted at the wiki that this also causes the civ to target these sites more quickly to be conquered. Is that verified?

[joostheger]

Is there any way to make DEFAULT_SITE_TYPE:MONUMENT not always crash the game? Or a way to make zero site playable civilizations without making them cavern dwellers?

Yes I made one.
Main considerations: set all biome settlements tags to ANY_LAND.
However, legends mode crashed, Legends Viewer did not show all the sites, and in adventurermode there was nothing really of interest.
After 200 years, the dwarfs had made only two monuments each civ. no structures or anything else interest.
