Dont Piss off the colossal.

It can knock you like halfway across the arena... but doesnt move unless ticked off.

Edit:Need to tone down that attack a bit...

What would cause an impoverished word selector error?

I can see the attraction.  However, it was still worth it.

A Google search tells me the error occurs because there aren't enough words in the languages.

No idea how exactly this will affect the game.

There doesnt appear to be any major effect besides some occasional error log spam.

I just found a male nothing...
It cant be my creature because mine die of old age fourty years later.

Unless you mean that you found a male nothing that died soon afterwards, I don't understand what you mean with "It cant be my creature because mine die of old age fourty years later."

Would it be possible for me to make a race with a technological advantage, such as a type of modded windmill that doesn't use the map's actual wind conditions? Or some other building that provides energy with different conditions than normal?

Does that mean male hydras... oh god dammit.

Oh well, I'll just refrain from making that race playable, and make their technological advantages apparent with unique buildings and interactions.

Dwarf Fortress has 2000+ words. DFScratch has 170. I should try adding more words so I can say I contributed.

Sorry, I wasnt very clear on what I meant.

Looking through my legends mode I found a few instances of nothing. All died after around 60 years. My creature, because I wanted to see if it would appear in the raws, dies of old age after about 100 years. That means the Nothing isnt the creature I made.

I plan to go into adventure mode and see if the Nothings appear where it says they are.

Why not remove all instances of [ARENA_RESTRICTED], look for nothings, read their descriptions then find that in files?

There are instances of nothing in the arena as well, they are the base for all the dragons.

But as there is no biomes set for them to spawn in, we assumed Nothing would not occur.

Does anyone know if the sound files have to be .oggs or can they be other formats?
