Spirit of ice

I have been trying to get it to work so i can test my freeze the ocean idea. Any thoughts on the fixed temp setting i should use?

Why not use a fixed temperature of 1, and if that turns out to be too cold keep tweaking it until you get the results you like?

Try a FIXED_TEMP around 5000, that'll make everyone in the area freeze to death near-instantly and should freeze water pretty quickly too.

Played as this in adventure mode, works quite nicely.  Everyone freezes very quickly if you're on top them, however they'll take a little longer to freeze if you're just near them.  When I went into fresh water, I got encased in ice, killing me instantly.  

I've removed [FLIER] on them (although I had no troubles with it, you could add it back on again).

Also, I think it would be better if they weren't [FIREIMMUNE] as well.

Hmm, why would being encased in ice kill a creature with [NOBREATHE]? It *should* just paralyze or something. Also, if you can freeze from a tile away, you can just sit until the water near you freezes, then go and walk on it. Repeat like Kirby with the Ice ability.
