Prospect gold nuggets from sand.

Steal gems from other civs. (simulated by reaction)

Prospect fuel from peat-clay. (collect clay on a peat surface)

Witchers, magic melee

Hexers, magic ranged/support

Hypnotoad, special pet with crazy fortress-wide interactions

More religion, praying, offerings

[Meph]

Yeah, I added smakes caste system, made the male versions, gave them littersize 1-5 so you get a ton of children, have children grow up in only 1 year and made Kobolds super-resistant to tantrum spirtals. Should lead to big groups of expendable Kobold dudes.

Manual is 75% done. Embark profiles are done.

Things on the to do list: Witcher and Hexer Creature and Interactions, Witcher and Hexer Reactions for the Witchers Hut and Hexers Hut. And/or items for those, like special weapons/ammo. Toadlicker and Shroomshop needs reactions and an idea what it does...

And... thats it. When that is done I have to build it into my GUI so that people can play it in Masterwork DF. Have to figure out how to make everyone hostile, and get rid of dwarven pets... small stuff.

SUGGESTIONS FOR WITCHER AND HEXER, BOTH INTERACTIONS AND REACTIONS ARE WELCOME. YES I AM YELLING.

BECAUSE THEY ARE KOBOLDS MAYBE A LONG THE LINES OF ALLY BUFFS (inc speed, inc att speed, temporary no fear?) IN WITCHER AND DEBUFF ENEMIES FOR HEXER (dec speed, dec att speed, something to do with hypno-toads?)

I'm not sure what kind of spells you are going for, I am knowledge-less.

Hypno toad for happiness PLS

[CaptainKobold]

I love getting into the whole risk/reward system thing, so I'd love it if sometimes toad-licking instead would cause some kind of massive-slow-down as the kobolds get too disoriented to effectively do anything.

If the Witcher is possibly being merged into a Witch Doctor role it could be interesting having them set off smoke-clouds of effects.  So the witch doctor's building might be encouraged to be built in dining rooms, for example, where they could release mists/fogs that grant blessings.

Woo lots of kobold babies!

Making the fragile Kobolds even more fragile o:! Yes.

Kobold version of mist generators, nice.

Hey just had a little idea, not sure if it is possible or if it would fit with the theme.

Now, you've blocked your kobolds inside a burrow, waiting for a siege to leave. Now, there is no food. Your kobolds are starving. And uncle Drjtlajk is looking mighty tasty...

-Make a reaction that converts one kobold corpse into X units of 'kobold meat'.
-Give this meat a syndrome that has three effects:
98.5% chance of lowering mental/physical attributes.
1% chance of turning eater into a weak 'ghoul'.
0.5% chance of turning eater into a powerful and terrible wendigo that is fast, mean and tough.

Thought this might give a risky alternative if food is running out.

[Bloax]

You might want to make that 97.4/2.5/0.1%, because it seems kind of silly to have a measly 2:1 ratio chance of turning into a weak ghoul or a !!FUN!! wendigo.

I approve of the idea however, better make them eat their "unfortunately deceased" brethren than having them all starve to death.

[Meph]

Cant do mists, effects that affect mood/happiness, use civ-aligned corpses (that would really mess up your ghosts and I think there is no way to use your own corpses specifically) ... Sorry, limitations of modding.

The toad I cant use in reaction either, so I thought of milking the extract and using this for something. I could also give the toad an interaction that targets kobolds of course. Maybe it turns into hypnotoad once a year at random, paralyzing your kobolds for a while. All of them, but just for a short time before going back to normal toad.

[mavj96]

Yes hypnotoad pls.

[Meph]

Yes. Hypnotoad wins the poll.

[Demonbutter]

Yes. Hypnotoad wins the poll.

I'm proudly a stoner but I lost a couple of minutes to that which I'm not proud of.

I was going to ask if the toad could excrete a substance like an FB or such but that would end up ridiculous wouldn't it?

[mavj96]

Action impairing milk would be great if there could be a way to limit who drinks it T _ T

[Demonbutter]

Lock it somewhere. And do some FUN stuff to get the dwarf you want in said room or in reach of said room?

[smakemupagus]

just a warning, probabilistic transform syndromes can have strange side effects, such as when you save and load the game it changes which creature it is.  I had a chaotic transform for a while, but it turned out that after save/load everyone would turn back into the first creature on the list.  (maybe Meph makes it work though )
