Honeybees might not fit very well, considering they're based around hierarchial, stationary hives and die after stinging. Bumblebees, on the other hand, don't form huge colonies, some are loners already, are the most adorable hymenopterids, and have what looks like fuzzy wool on them that can be sheared.

Wasp swarms I have planned. Gods help the Halflings.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Vespulae. Weapons testing in progress.

EDIT:

From the Journal of an Entomological God

My first version of the Vespulae, intended to be a swarming predator...does not seem to be able to breathe. Or see. Or, for that matter, stand. I suspect I made an error somewhere...nobody ever said Creation would be this...annoying...at God College. But then, they were competent there.

I think you first made the materials and tissues, told them to go to places that you hadn't defined yet, and then created a wasp made out of nothing that still needs to breathe but does not have the tissues it needs to do so. I'm also going to quote you on the front page. :D

That...makes a terrifying degree of sense. I'll try it and see if that solves things.

Also, I am honored :D

EDIT: Yeah, Test Vespula #3 would probably be saying rude things to you if he could breathe. However, it did change my errorlog, and it seems that the game is somehow having difficulty fitting his brain inside his head. I imagine that could be a problem.

The rest of the new stuff:

and at the end is the usual fussy code bit complaining about the random creatures and its inadequacies in making them, but nobody cares.

EDIT2: The old stuff, if still relevant, was whining that no tissue thickness had been assigned to any body parts on the Vespula, but I think that got solved by moving the BODY token in the raw.

Mm... I think much of that's because your BASIC_INSECT body first defines the head, fails to connect it to anything, and only then makes the upper body. So the creature does not actually have a head.

Also I did notice your body templates not making tissue layers to create eyes earlier, but I figured maybe you'll make them out of nerve tissue or something, or maybe insects aren't supposed to have working eyes. Apparently they don't have anything to make up the heart either.

I actually just noticed the heart thing, and I believe I've fixed it now. The eyes haven't been tissued yet, but that won't be too hard to take care of.

I'll try the head thing. Maybe Test Vespula #7 will be able to draw breath.

EDIT: :D LIFE! That did the trick, thanks!

Now, to kill it in more imaginative ways...

EDIT2:

From the Journal of an Entomological God

Is there anything more beautiful than the keening death wail of a Quetzalcoatlus? A sound few have heard, true, but in the arena today I have heard it. The Vespulae worked together in a pack, dueling the storm dragon in a battle that took them to the highest reaches of the "sky", swarming the megabeast. Though two of the five were smote from the air by wing blows, one of their brethren managed to sting the beast in the back of the head and pump its nerve-igniting venom into the wound. It was all over then; the Quetzalcoatlus plummeted from the sky under the searing weight of a dozen Vespula stings, and as it lay broken on the cold stone the swarm reformed above it and continued to sting him until he finally gave his death shriek. Beautiful.

Against armored halflings, they are similarly effective. The lack of appreciable armor technology amongst the foolish hobbits does not help them. I deem these specimens worthy.


We've got some good titles right now. The Vespula that killed the Quetzalcoatlus received the rather awesome name "Bluereaver" - fitting, considering the location of the duel.

Dude, you're supposed to make stuff you yourself are comfortable playing. Modding is fun but it's not a game about only that :P
Every turn must be followed by a play turn to make sure it all works so far and for everyone's entertainment. It's more fun if we can get a player who didn't mod it so things come as a surprise, but if not, then not.

I suppose that turn will be playing as halflings since elves aren't playable, and repelling incursions by naked, unarmed elves and their tree lords.

Feel happy you don't have to come up against the Vespulae. In a group of 5, they killed a megabeast. They're set to spawn in swarms of between 15 and 25.

I'm thinking I should reduce the strength of "light" chitin, too. It can take a blow from a meteoric iron cudgel in the hands of a trained Halfling and only suffer a dent.

I'm moving from deadly predators to more benign insects now. Pack beetles and shearable giant bumblebees are up next, followed by milkable giant aphids.

Isn't it a bit much, to have common roving wild animals stronger than megabeasts?

Megabeasts will probably be more along the lines of Rarebeasts... we must have the language define 'mega' as 'rare'.

My thought exactly, which is why I'm reducing chitin strength. Honestly, though, the megabeast lost because it was swarmed by five stinging giant wasps - I tried a one-on-one battle, and it picked up the Vespula and hurled it bodily across the arena, where it lay stunned against a wall until he came over and squashed it. Alone, they're manageable - but like the wasps I based them on, in groups they're just plain evil.

I'm not going to impose it on you guys, but if you feel like you've created a creature that's maybe a little too powerful, but also don't want to make it less so, giving it [SAVAGE] might be a good call.

That way:
a) It doesn't bother players just trying to survive in a calm biome
b) If you want a challenge, you can by your own choice head over to a savage biome and have a huge swarm of stinging giant wasps that can take down several dragons that very strong creature to deal with
c) The variety in the world increases

And the latest two insectile beasties to emerge from the divine forge, whose operator seems to have finally stumbled into competence (no glaring, species-extinct-at-birth errors! Hooray!). The Bombus is a fuzzy giant bumblebee who can be sheared to make fuzzy woolen sweaters for the hobbits. The Pack Beetle is a beetle the size of a rhino that can be employed to lug all the shit we haven't gotten around to modding in around. These are the first two things I've made that don't have the sole intent to make life a buzzing hell for the natives.

Up next will be the glorious Vermin Hunter we've all needed - a lovely, slightly oversized version of the venerable Goliath Bird-Eating Spider.
