Is it possible to make a syndrome add a material breath attack?

[ZM5]

Yeah, syndromes can add interactions of any kind - though stuff like directed or undirected gas/vapor/dust attacks start at the tile of the creature, so if its breathing syndrome-inducing material it'll most likely be affected by it too.
As an example, you'd just do a normal syndrome setup with these tokens.

How do I make a creature that dies instantly AND leaves a corpse? I want to make a creature that instantly turns into a statue to use for petrification interactions.

[ZM5]

I don't think you can make it so it literally dies instantly - what I did is make a "statue" creature that has the humanoid_neck body plan, an upper spine, lungs, but no brain or middle/lower spine - its also immobile, needs to breathe and still requires thinking parts - so the moment a creature is transformed into a "statue" it falls over, cannot move and eventually suffocates, leaving a stone statue.

If I play as goblin civ, can I tame wild trolls, ogres and other slow learners?

[Meph]

Still trying to get my civ to die out in world-gen.

I tried:
 - Removing the baby and children tag. (ignored in worldgen)
 - Orientation that makes them asexual/homosexual. (ignored in worldgen)
 - Only male, only female or only genderless caste. (worldgen hangs in a loop, won't place civ)

Can't make their max-age super low, because they should still be playable in fort mode. Guess a weird workaround would be maxage:1 and a self-targetted interaction that adds AGELESS.

I just want a civ that gets no migrants, that's all. Argh, this was so easy in 34.11. ^^

(Dfhacks "hermit enable" could work, though also blocks all caravans, FBs, etc)

Dont vampires get kicked out of civilizations during world gen? Could you make a secret that has a similar result? (outcasts everyone)

EDIT: or a plague that only targets a specific creature/class?

Make child age bigger than death age.

Is slow_learner tameable in fortress mode by civ with use_evil_animals?

[TomiTapio]

Is slow_learner tameable in fortress mode by civ with use_evil_animals?

underground evil slowlearner is a special case: https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Creature_token#SLOW_LEARNER

"Shorthand for [CAN_LEARN] + [SKILL_LEARN_RATES:50].Verify Used by a number of 'primitive' creatures (like ogres, giants and troglodytes) in the vanilla game. Applicable to player races. Prevents a player from recruiting nobility, even basic ones. Subterranean creatures with this token combined with [EVIL] will become servants of goblins in their civilizations, in the style of trolls."

So if I embark as goblins, can I tame wild trolls? Will wild trolls be agressive to my goblins?

[ZM5]

Only creatures with the [PET] token are tamable, civ has nothing to do with it - wild trolls would still be hostile.

Even if I add creature to civ pets by animal definition?

[ZM5]

Yeah, those just give them innate populations of those animals, it doesn't change how the wild versions of those animals behave.
