I need:
a way to upgrade the stingers of my soldiers. preferably a furnace that has a reaction: coat sting with metal
AND
a workshop that produces "claw" weapons. This way, the wasps sting any exposed area and then rake the enemy with their claws, causing extreme pain.
slave pets, which are required to do certain... things... to them in the "torture chambers"/"slavers podium" which can be ran to provoke sieges or caravans to "buy" the slave. slaves should be: elvish, dwarven, human or gnomish and have male/female castes each
ok,listen how we can do this:the coating part can be done by using similar reactions with the ones used for animal armor.we will need to create special male/female castes for each metal.for example a male caste with an iron sting,a female caste with an iron sting,et cetera.
the weapons part is really easy.it just needs a workshop,a new weapon entry and some reactions.the slave pets will also be easy to mod.
i would like you to clarify a few things,however
-for the claws and the stings,which metals should i use?
-for the torture chambers:the typical reaction is:one slave dead,one siege arrives.right?
-for the slave podium:how much gold will you get from a slave?
and a general observation about the slave castes:you will be able to buy the from embark,or from wasp caravans,right?they will be sentient,and therefore require food and water(from a river of lake,not from booze or wells,just like the tigermen).since they will have PET,they will be able to reproduce freely,and therefore you'll be able to sell the kids immediately and gain ludicrous amounts of cash with very little effort.or,they will be sterile,so it's not worth buying them...how will you balance that?or did i get the podium thing wrong?
