That depends. Are they vermin or full-sized creatures? Are they a civilization or are they wild?

Vermin make hives if given the proper tokens. But non-vermin creatures cannot. Civilizations can live in caves, which can sort of be like a giant hive I suppose.

They can definitely be made of topaz though.

Two questions, should I make my icemen longlived but with little breeding or short lived but breeding like rabbits?

If knowing the 'storyline' behind their concept would help I would be happy to explain them.
Edit. Second question, if I wanted to pull some species from the realworld(with modification), what time period best describes this world currently?

That makes me wonder, has anyone tried to play as a race that has [CHILD:1] and [MAXAGE:2]?

How would a game like that run? It would be impossible to train anyone in anything, as they would only have a single year of adult life before dying.

That would be interesting to try... I may do that.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.

As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

I was actually thinking of doing that.(Drinlings from Beyonders)

If you raise their learning speeds high enough they can atleast be decent enough to defend themselfs before they die.

Not to mention that things like vampires would be painfully obvious seeing as how suddenly you have someone who doesn't die in two years.

Do we even have vampires in this mod?

Also, a race that dies in two years would likely breed very fast, with many offspring, so actually vampires would be a good thing, as you'd have the population to spare, and they could retain skills.

'Eighty years of energy packed into two years of life'

Their population would explode so fast that their deaths wouldnt matter.

And there are vampires in the mod.

Should I make my icemen like that?

They're your creatures, they're your choice.

If you don't then I might, it's been a while since I've modded, though.

They will have a guttural monosyllablic language.
