i don't know about you guys, but kobold age limits seem perfect to me for the worker class (from which you'll have a lot) and the drones.the queen should like much longer, and maybe the soldiers too, given that they're harder to produce. but that poses a problem: if your artisans die like bugs (hehe) you won't have many good ones. maybe we could design a building that "stores" a part of their knowledge, like a library of a sort, for future generations? is that even possible?

[Insanegame27]

Is there a reaction that can - say, gives a syndrome that deducts x% skill off a certain labor, gives you an item (wooden dabbling slip, Adamantine legendary slip etc.(Of course should not be meltable)) and then be able to trade in the knowledge slip for xp

[than402]

No, but there are syndrome effects that can give or take exp. maybe you're on to something there. Anyway, I will fix some reactions that don't work ( thanks,  Meph) and I was thinking about working with the castes. I intend to give them emotions back, lower the percentage of soldiers, lower the max age for everyone (although the soldiers will still live longer in order to make up for their low numbers) but the queen and the child age as well, and give the soldiers massive exp penalties on civilian labors. Do you guys agree?

[Insanegame27]

Also as a side note, they seem to have three sets of foot attire on embark, one set for the two feet, and one for the stinger, still using wasps 30 (Sidenote of sidenote: can you put version number into the dffd file?).

[than402]

Sure. When I get to my PC. You mean they can wear shoes on their stinger?

[Insanegame27]

In v30, yes, they wear shoes on their stinger. I only noticed this when
Dwarf kicks wasp in the stinger, Bruising the chitin through the *steel boot*
I wonder if you can kick with the stinger in adventure mode...

[than402]

You can, but you won't be using the kicking skill anymore. I'm changing the stinger when I get home. So, about the castes: shall I get on with it?

[Insanegame27]

Sure.
(snip)
so if you were to put the wasps in fifty words (try and get it exact) what would it be?

[than402]

Your point?

[Insanegame27]

I'm Going to edit the OP and i need an updated picture.

[than402]

Sure.

Amoral race of short lived, fast maturing explosive breeders who use advanced ranged weapons, poison and giant bugs as their main weapons,depend on their queen, are capable of setting up a base with few resouces, practice slavery and cannibalism and are dangerous even when unarmed but have poor armor.

thanks

don't forget to mention the paracitism

[heydude6]

guys, question about the reproduction. How do you want the drone to be used?

option 1: eggs are layed, drone fertilizes them(then dies) and they hatch into larva

option 2:queen prepares to lay eggs, drone fertilizes queen, drone dies, queen lays eggs most of them being fertilized except a few unlucky ones

which one?

also how many eggs should the queen lay, and also what should cause the queen to lay eggs?

[than402]

I like the first option better. Personally I would give the queen an interaction which activates periodically (say,6 times a year) and spawns a single larva each time. Then you gather the eggs in a single,tight spot,send the drone to fertilize them and bam! Larvae.
