Why is there a [RECKLESS] in front of "creature_vegetation" in the file of the same name?

Because I was pasting to the Find-Replace window and missed. 

[Nonanonymous]

Hmm.  I though it might have something to do with the fact that (apparently) creatures tagged as living plants won't spawn.  I haven't bothered to test this myself, though.  But I never run into any of them, even if I do spend a lot of time in swamps and forests.

If the first line of the file does not match its filename without extension, the file is not loaded into DF.

Also, is there a Modbase-compatible version of this mod?

Not yet. This mod is still undergoing a lot of work. Plus, because it requires a total swap of the folder due to the sheer difference in files, there's not really much need for it.

[Sean Mirrsen]

There IS a need for it, because despite it being a DF Total Conversion, it still can have mods attached to it.

I've been wondering if with Mod Base the doubled sizes could be added to other mods' creatures when playing with them and LL on. This seems possible because of the animalmen thing it can do, but sizes might be somehow different.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Nope. Not different. To double ALL creatures' sizes, you have to do this:

[CREATURE:#]
[COND:NAME]
[SIZE:#*2]

You can also do conditions by various parameters, like mega/semimega tags or specific biomes. You always need an "always true" condition like NAME though, so that you won't get creatures with all tags present X times, X being the amount of creatures affected by the entry.

1.08 submitted. Not Modbase compatible yet.
However, does come with installation tool of its own.

Please, give feedback. I find it very useful. I also want to hear whether Avari are working properly in sieges now.

I had an Avari caravan that seriously confused the ponies and donkeys with their stuff.  The merchants all flew to my Depot really fast, and the pack animals went insane and caused all manner of problems.  May I suggest given them some flying beasts of burden?

[LordNagash]

Woo, the only thing I've ever made for this game got added! If anyone has any questions/bug reports/complaints about the new insectoids then I would be interested to hear them.

[LumenPlacidum]

You know, I'm not sure you really need to give megabeasts that big of a hand when there are so many of them.  I generated a world up to the year 3050 (still hadn't hit the megabeast death cap) and played a chaos lord in it.  I trained myself up pretty highly and I needed about a thousand attacks (after I tore out his eyes) in order to kill one vampire.  That's a semimegabeast!  This guy had a quarter of the kills of the worst of the dragons.

It's astounding how much punishment the skilled enemies can take!

[Captain Mayday]

Ok, I'll enable Vampire death when you cut them in half. However, be aware that you can more easily kill them with a piercing weapon.

Mayday didn't really address it but I would say the problem is that I am pretty sure LL vampires can only be killed by removing the head or destroying the heart (much like their mythological counterparts)

So yeah, it could take a fair bit to kill one, even as a Chaos Lord

[Emperor_Jonathan]

So. I just started a fortress with this mod and it comes to the first caravan (autumn) and so.


Two caravans come, avar and goblins. Is this a bug? Or is it normal?
