... Whelp, that was it. I forgot to give it a brain.

It was surprisingly active for not having a brain.

So, the Armokian creature works now. But of course now I'm having problems with the entity, and I can't figure it out, so I was wondering if anyone knew what I did wrong.
Right now the civ doesn't show up in worldgen, which is a small issue. I also wanted to add DIVINE weapons and armor, but when the errorlog complained about DIVINE_CLOTH, I decided to play it safe. Still not sure if they would work.

For some reason I have a feeling my mistake was really obvious.

Er, atleast I think that's right.

I think they aren't appearing because they're lacking these two tokens

   [MAX_POP_NUMBER:10000]
That may be the source of your problems. But I'm not 100% sure.

IIRC you're not supposed to re-use [ENTITY:MOUNTAIN]...not sure if thats true though

So "Entity" refers to the civilization, and "Creature" refers to the people of that civilization?

Here's something relevant from the wiki that might explain why a creature that shares an entity might not appear sometimes:

>If multiple creature types are specified [for an entity], each civilization will randomly choose one of the creatures.

Yeah, as long as you still have your original dwarves' entity, you can't use [ENTITY:MOUNTAIN], instead name it anything else that isn't being used yet. Something like [ENTITY:ARMOKIAN] for example.

It causes duped raws, which is very bad.

Are there any guidelines to help on setting the pet values of custom creatures?

Sorry, I was unclear. I know how to set the actual value. I wanted to know how I should figure out what to set that value as. As in, if I make a custom creature that doesn't really have an in-game equivalent how do I know how much it should be worth?

I would say you should base it off of something with a similar strength or meat, milk etc value
