But I did?

[WillowLuman]

I must have misplaced the file, then.

Alright, turns out the trolls did have 2 errors:
-An "IT_CANNOT_HAVE" instead of an "IT_FORBIDDEN" (FORBIDDEN is for tokens, the other one is IT_CANNOT_HAVE_SYNDROME_CLASS)
-The speech file goes in data/speech

Both fixed now. Clean Errorlog.

[Halfling]

Thanks. That was a last minute addition I didn't check.

[WillowLuman]

Is Evil Eye supposed to affect all creatures? It seems a bit odd that trolls would be able to assimilate anything that exists. Mind if I change it to Humanoids only?

[Halfling]

Go right ahead. Though technically it is a power of fiends rather than trolls proper, that change means they will target it at potentially dangerous enemies instead of the nearest duck on the map and is very welcome.

[Meph]

Arent they AT_PEACE_WITH_WILDLIFE? That should stop the behaviour, and they use it on hostiles only.

[WillowLuman]

Doesn't make sense for them to turn dragons and occulentibus and stuff into trolls, though. And they'd still target zombie ducks. I have changed it.

[Halfling]

The evil eye actually doesn't turn stuff into trolls. Plan A was that it turns you into a night creature, essentially a very pale, disfigured thing with creepy powers like vomiting necrosis-inducing poison, that hangs out with trolls due to having nowhere else to go, but I was feeling lazy and only made halfling night creatures, so it wouldn't make sense for the other races. So what it now does is you may get one of the troll mutations, giant/midget/mad/blind/master instead if you survive the attack. (In adventure mode you actually have to manually mutate)

[WillowLuman]

Makes sense for it to only affect humanoids then. They become a mutant, and eventually we'll add variants for each species.

[WillowLuman]

While we wait for the other contributors to finish school and stuff, I made some things.

I think I shall add some kind of penguin-whale, too.

In other news, simply adding [USE_ANIMAL_PRODUCTS] will let Halflings use leather, right?

[Aseaheru]

I really need to learn how to do this so I can make nice things. Even if it is just different sorts of tea.

[Poldon]

I downloaded the version marked as current on the front page, and happily played as the formics. I realized (and felt silly afterward) that I could tell the workers and soldiers apart without looking for the flashing letters because their physical description is different. Makes it easier to nickname them according to their caste. Also was amused by the god "Belokh the Black White of Bright". What an interesting and odd combination of words.

And then...
"It likes vampire bats for their appeal to their dark and poetic soul, and they would prefer you not to laugh."
Well I laughed. My apologies.

I also had an encounter with a water strider which killed a wayward worker, but a single unskilled soldier was able to put it down with only a scimitar and a minor injury. I remember reading reports of them being terrifyingly numerous, but I have tons of squid on the map and only saw a couple of them thankfully.

I'm loving this mod even more now, by the way, simply because I know what almost nothing is. Exploring anew the very rocks and bushes and creatures around me is a lot of fun and often mysterious and frightening. I don't know what to expect and am eager to discover what everything is and does. Not having a wiki is forcing me to explore it on my own. Thanks for the fun, everyone, and keep up your good work!

[Aseaheru]

Thats nothing I have a god with the name larger than the page. Guess what they where the god of?
(Hint: not mutch and nothing to do with meds)

In the same world the god of laws and oaths is also the god of lies and trickery.

[Timeless Bob]

In the same world the god of laws and oaths is also the god of lies and trickery.

The god of Lawyers?!! Now that's scary.

[Aseaheru]

I was thinking more of loansharks or something.
