That will work.

Any updates on the world's progress, Splint?

[Splint]

Been working on schoolwork and doing outdoor stuff with my dad, since he's not quite as ambulatory as he used to be.

I'm going to draw up a map and seek out someone better suited to the task of running the program.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Busier than you thought you would be?  Or have you already drawn up the map and sent it to someone?

[Splint]

Busy. Plus I've been trying to master the art of making plasma bolts.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

I could help by doing the stuff in bold, if it hasn't been done.

Smirnets, that lovely bland... Who am I kidding, they suck and you can't get rid of them.
Ammo for plasma weapons.
Caste level things.  (If you tell me what you want for this.)
More hostile critters and civs to harras the shit out of the garrison.
Making sure everyone hates everyone.
Mountain Barley, the only crop available from the surface. Used to make a watered down form of Talon-Sel ale by the garrison, as regular would kill them with alcohol poisoning.
If someone is willing to do it, Someone to make relavent sprites/graphics for the creatures for those who hate the basic set up.
Get more players.
Add some introductory art.

If you'd like to feel free. IWon't say no to help. I tossed together a shitty map, now I just need to find someone who might be able to maek it.

What is it you want done with the castes, by the way?

(Typos in bold)

[Splint]

Well it'd be more a matter of making them, as I have zero expierience with castes. If possible to do something simulating lightinig as a very rare power, that's what I'm going for. In its place fireballs would work. Essentially within the setting such an ability is the most commonly manifested form of of psionic abilities coupled with the ability to read soeone's mind at will. I'm also still fiddling with the descriptors on them so I'll have to make sure they have the proper appearence things. That much I think I can get right.

The fifteen castes I made for my mod gave me the experience for that.  I know how to make lightning as a power, but will put fireballs in as well.  How rare do you want it to be, by the way?  I can get up to 1 in 10000, but that would basically put you at a 0% chance of getting them.  Not sure about reading minds.  I don't think that is possible.  Give me the descriptors when you have them done.

[Splint]

As far as lightning or fire, I'd say one out of 25 if possible. The mind readin won't need to be played up except as a hieghtened social awareness or something in thier attributes.

To make everyone hostile to you, put [ITEM_THEIF] into your entity's raws for the civ we are going to be controling.  It won't be applicable in fortress mode, I think.  Don't hold me to it.

Okay then.  Smirnets to your satisfaction (Put them in Plant_Grass)?  And will the lightning be in a ball, jet, or just spread outward?  And are the Talon-Sel humans or something else (will work on them when you post the descriptions)?

[Splint]

Either one on the ball or jet, since it's sort of a directed attack or crowd control, since it shouldn't hurt the user right? Cause I can just imagine the guy being surrounded then BAM burst of lighting killing any attackers around him.

And yes, the mountain barley came out great Just what was needed.

Ball - fireball
Jet - fire jet
Spread - dragonfire

What about the Smirnets?

[Splint]

Any of them will work, since they're all somewhate directed at a target.

And beautiful. I didn't see the Smirnets. I did adjust the growth time slitly, but otherwise left them alone. Much appreciated.
