Yes -- in fact, the Spawn are too easy right now, and this is exactly what they need.

[Aseaheru]

[Mr Frog]

Um, yes, Maej are playable in Fortess Mode. You could say that's what they were designed for, actually.

[Aseaheru]

As long as you give credit, you can do anything you like with any of my mods

It'd be silly for me to put it up for public download if I wasn't comfortable with people doing whatever they want with them Thank you for asking first, though.

I'm not sure if it's really popular enough, though, and there are still balancing issues with the drones. I'd recommend first playing it by yourself and reporting any issues so I can fix them. It'd suck to be halfway through a succession fort only to find that drones are too weak/hax and enemy invasions are unkillable/a joke.

I might start one myself later on, but I'm not feeling up for the responsibility right now. I probably should finish with my Spearbreakers writing obligations before even considering managing my own succession game. Feel free to start your own in the mean time.


I haven't had any further breakthroughs regarding the Greater Spawn, so I'm considering declaring them finished.

However, during the course of making the GS, I created fixes for the issues where Spawn would die when their heads were removed (despite the head not containing anything important) and where Spawn would be disabled by broken spines, and I'm currently debating with myself whether to apply these fixes to standard Spawn, the main issue being that fixing them will make Spawn even harder to put down.

I'll be putting up a poll on the matter soon, because !!DEMOCRACY!!.

[Aseaheru]

well, since i cant post images or saves {nor do i want the responsibility} i was hoping that someone else did it.

About the poll:

Cant you just remove the head, and put a "tought" organ somewhere inside the upper body ? No pointless decapitations, but critical-hits would still be possible.

[Aseaheru]

That's actually more-or-less exactly how the Spawn work right now -- their brains lack a [THOUGHT] tag, which is instead on their hearts. The problem is that their heads still have the [HEAD] flag, and the game treats any decapitation as fatal regardless of whether the removed head actually contained a thought organ.

Spawn in Syrupleaf have heads, therefore these Spawn shall have heads. The 'fix' simply removes the [HEAD] flag.

[Aseaheru]

bah.
add something with a head tag thats protected.

[Meph]

Ah, ok. In that case I vote (and did indeed vote on the poll) for fixing the decapitation problem, by removing the fatal head-tag. I always envisioned them to be rather headless to be honest. Like this. (disregard the weird people on the pic, it is just from google.

[Reudh]

I always thought of them the way they were drawn.

Or are those people you and your highschool sweethearts muhahahaha jk

I think decap should not kill them however leave in being chopped in two as a kill shot.

[Meph]

Germany has no highschools, and my gf has a lot more tattos and piercings than that

Apart from that, thanks a lot for that picture, I did not knew that fanart about them exists, I thought the mouth was on the upper body. But now I dont know why cutting of the head shouldnt kill them... looks simple to me, cut off head, monster dies...
