Hey everyone,
First update after a long break. Its a round of bugfixes for everyone and three larger additions for Succubi (done by Boltgun), Orcs (done by Smakemupagus) and Warlocks (done by me). I can't say much about the Succubi and Orcs, but I can give a quick overview for the Warlock changes.
Warlocks are now much less rare. You most likely embark with 6-7 Warlocks and way less Ghouls or Skeletons. Your 2 migrant waves will also consist of mostly Warlocks. Warlock-Vampires have been removed, since they often killed your rare and precious other Warlocks. This should make the mode much easier, because you have ~3 times more spellcasters.
You have a new civ-member, the Zombie. A slow and cheap worker, mostly for hauling. They cant learn any skills, but you can make them just by using 3 corpses/bodyparts and some magic.
Ghouls can now be upgraded with additional body-parts. Two headed ghouls are more sturdy and cant be one-shotted, while four-armed ghouls can carry more weapons and shields and are better wrestlers. You can also add both, for the currently best ghouls version.
Skeletons have been changed as well. They no longer become uncontrollable when away from Warlocks or Pylons. Instead they get slower. Build a pylon network to speed them up again.
Dwarves:Dwarven fire mages should be fire-immune now.
Dwarven water mages should be cold-immune now.
Humans:Humans can no longer buy Rat Things from Succubi. These have been removed.
Humans can now buy Decay-Brutes instead.
Added missing reactions to Human Alchemist. You can now make artificial gem stones and create ironbone/bloodsteel.
Fixed some prices in the human mineral/rock merchant.
Hopefully fixed Knight-to-Paladin transformation. Shouldnt spam transformation messages around now.
Warlocks:You can now check the learned spells of a Warlock at the Scribe.
Removed vampires from Warlocks. They were too difficult to micromanage/killed to many warlocks.
Raised pop-ratio of Warlocks, this means you embark with more Warlocks and less Ghouls/Skeletons.
Graveyards in Warlock mode can no longer be scoured for items.
Restless Walkers have been removed, Zombies have been added instead.
Zombies are civ-members and can do labors, but they can never learn any skill. Cannon-fodder and haulers.
Prisoners now arrive as "caged prisoner". You can decide if you let them out (spawning a creature and a cage) or if you keep them as "caged prisoner"
"Caged prisoners" can be tortured for info, 20% chance the prisoner dies, 80% chance he leaves intel or an item.
"Caged prisoners" can be corrupted into Ghouls.
"Caged prisoners" can be executed and bissected, spawning a cage and 1 head, 2 arms, 2 legs and 1 torso.
Torsos can be butchered for 8 meat and 1 leather.
Heads can be butchered for 1 totem and 1 scalp.
Legs can be butchered for 3 meat.
Arms can be butchere for 3 meat.
In addition these items can be used to upgrade Ghouls. You can attach a head to create a two-headed ghoul. You can attach 2 arms to create a 4-armed ghouls. You can attach either one to an already upgraded ghoul to create a two-headed, four-armed ghoul. These can be powerful fighters, wielding several weapons and shields, while at the same time being immune to one-shot head-shot kills, since they have a second head+brain.
Fixed lots of spells that the Overlord couldnt learn. He can now do many more of the reactions that were previously limited to "Warlocks", not "Warlock Overlord".
Gnomes:Added pet values to Gnomish pets. No more free mechanical animals at embark.
Fixed "Open crate of magnetized iron bars" reaction.
Added Pyrite back to normal gems, used in gnomish reactions to make diodes.
Succubi (all changes done by Boltgun):Added a reactions to check a creature for powers and upgrades.
- A free job at the temples of sin and fire will allow you to see what you gave to a succubus.
- The same reaction is available at the orcish altar of storms and the warlocks central library.
Other changes
- Fixed typos in the manual (thanks Greycat).
- Bloodworms should grow on the surface of evil biomes.
- Fixed the gender swapped leader names.
- You can now brew magma at the still, it requires the still to placed next to a magma space.
