short but sweet
« on: February 10, 2008, 05:31:00 pm »
I had problems with dwarves holding most animals like horses etc. in small cages to eat... it simply didn't fit in my mental picture of dwarves and their lifestyle.

So I've made this creature:

code:

[CREATURE:DWARVEN_SLUG]
   [NAME:dwarven slug:dwarven slugs:dwarven slug]
   [TILE:'S'][COLOR:7:0:0]
   [PETVALUE:150]
   [GENPOWER:4]
   [NATURAL][PET][COMMON_DOMESTIC][BENIGN][FLEEQUICK]
   [BLOODTYPE:B]
   [GRASSTRAMPLE:0]
   [EXTRAVISION][NOSKULL][NOBONES][NOSKIN][NOSTUCKINS][SEVERONBREAKS]
   [PREFSTRING:slushy sounds]
   [BODY:BASIC_2PARTBODY:BASIC_HEAD:2EYESTALKS:2LUNGS:HEART:GUTS:BRAIN:MOUTH:TAIL]
   [SIZE:6]
   [MAXAGE:4:8]
   [ATTACK:MAIN:BYTYPE:MOUTH:gnaw:gnaws:1:2:GORE]
   [CHILD:1][CHILDNAME:slug lavae:slug lavaes]
   [FAT:2]
   [ALL_ACTIVE]
   [BIOME:SUBTERRANEAN_CHASM]
   [STANDARD_FLESH]
   [HOMEOTHERM:10067]
   [POPULATION_NUMBER:3:6]
   [SPEED:1600]
   [SWIMS_INNATE][SWIM_SPEED:3325]

Simply add to any file and have fun. It has the advantage (or disadvantage, it depends on how you look on it) that it has no bones at all. I think it's pretty well balanced.

Woah there, skipper.

I'm not trusting that "S!" Slug or otherwise!

Even more ambiguous would be [TILE:1].

just had one of these die of old age  :(
changed their size to 9, to compensate for not having any bones or hide, but they are really in the spirit of this game ^^
