Island of the Dead!
« on: January 04, 2016, 08:38:24 pm »

So I was just looking about my world, searching for somewhere to embark, when I found this...

   

This looks... !!FUN!!

I'm going to see how long I can survive. My longterm goal will be to create an "exclusion zone" where my dwarves
can frolick around outside without fear of having their flesh torn from their bodies by hoardes of the undead.
I've never done anything like this before so wish me luck and lots of !!FUN!!  :D

If you want to download the save and try it for yourself you can get it here.


If you're wondering what those Cheetah Men are doing there, they are part of a small mod I made that adds some tribal animal civs.

You can get it here.

Makes you wonder what happened there. Did a band of artists stumble upon an ancient slab, and afterwards each headed out to build their own tower?

Well, the only civilization there are my Cheetah Men, and they can't even make books. Although they do generate poetry, so I'm guessing World Gen just neglects that fact and gives them books anyway.

I have the save backed up if you ever wanted to look at the legends. I'm going to have a gander myself now...


EDIT: Added the save file to DFFD, you can download it form the main post.

Deities can grant slabs with secrets to their followers, so books aren't necessary.

Tell me, what's the maximum lifespan of the cheetah people? The sooner they die, the sooner they'll be inclined to find immortality, I imagine.

So.... do these animal-people tribes send caravans in the winter? Do they also send visitors like other nearby civilizations (and thus clog your tavern with drunken cheetah-men)?

I haven't changed their max age, so it's 60-80 years. That probably explains why they are freaking out about dying.

I've been attacked by one necromancer now, and it appears that they are actually a Lion Person, they still have a max age of 60-80 years though.

They do send caravans in the winter. I haven't yet had visitors, but I imagine they would come.

Have fun with those drunken cheetah men though, they are very light drinkers  ;)
