Hmm, hadn't thought of that.  Not a bad idea.

And no, I'm not going to forget about the Woodsman or DnG!, I've got plans for them.  I just haven't been able to scratch up an update for them lately, and I still need to finish my turn on berent's succession fort, which happens to run quite slowly on my machine...

[valcon]

I'm just joking with you mate, and, from what I've heard (and read into from berent's responses), it sounds like that fort is an ADD nightmare.  The monument is pretty cool though, I've got to admit.  Anyway yeah, take your time, don't force anything by any means =)

[Kagus]

You may be joking, but I'm not.  I really do intend on seeing those threads through to their...  'Conclusions'...

[Xotes]

I BE LOOKIN' FOWARD TO THIS!

[Tigerbunny]

bump

I really love this idea. Count me in

[Kagus]

Okay, but I really do have quite a few things I need to take care of first.

I wonder how all this would be affected by the upcoming army overhaul...  Once I'm finished with the Roariron turn and get enough updates for DnG! and the Woodsman so that I don't feel bad about them anymore, should I go straight for zombpocalypse or should I wait for the next version?

[Snugglebear]

Hold off 'til armies, imo.

[Lord_Frodo]

I think you should go straight to zombpocalypse.
Unless armies are within a matter of days/weeks.
oh and just in case you still are considering not doing this ... I'm interested.

[penguinofhonor]

Take out [BABYSNATCHER] and the civ will send armies in when they would normally send in baby snatchers. Therefore causing them to siege very early.

Or so I've heard, probably needs testing to make sure.

[Kagus]

Right, I've taken out [BABYSNATCHER] and [AMBUSHER].  I haven't done much testing though, I'm putting it off for a little bit.  I am going to be working on it, of course, but just not right now.  Since this thing is so minor as far as the actual modding has progressed, I think I'm just going to put it off until the next version.  I'd rather remake a few minor changes than a lot of major ones.

Here's my current priority list:

Finish the Roariron turn.
Update the Woodsman.
Update Death and Glory!.
Start off "Dead Halls" (new vers.)
Create "Primal World" mod (new vers.)

These are just the major things.  I've got other, smaller things that are laced in and around these.

[Istrian]

You could also replace megabeasts with Master Vampires. Give them extra-fast speed (400 sounds nice), [SPECIALATTACK_SUCK_BLOOD:50:100] tag on them. You can also make weaker vampires and give them the [AMBUSHER] tag. Maybe they should be civ leaders or something like that.

Oh and I'm interested in taking a character.

[Earthquake Damage]

If you want a more general horror flavor rather than strict zombiegeddon, you could add shapeless horrors as megabeasts.  That sort of thing.

Which gives me this thought:
Slaves to Armok:  God of Blood
Chapter III:  The Call of Toadthulu

[apiks]

Hear ye, hear ye, hearken back to the days of old, the days of old, for they have come back among us once more! Let it be known that a new chapter of history is to be written, the dead given rise once more!

Do not fear the start of an age, for the ages come and go, with only the passing of time marking them for what they once were.

Necrothreat rises once more. Hear ye, hear ye!

The Legend of Necrothreat:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

This is an opera. Not of soaring voices raised in unison, but of disunity. It is composed of screams, grunts and that peculiar sound which only the dead can make. In the Mountain Halls they make music to open the mind and cleanse the heart. In Necrothreat, woven screams bring the mind back to earth. You can die. And you can rise.
Our tale begins in Necrothreat I, where we meet the God of Undeath - Ur, manifested as a severed head. In Necrothreat II the Forumites are plunged into a struggle of immense power between Armok and Ur, gods of Blood and Death. Necrothreat III sees the Forumites begin to establish themselves as an independent power, and Necrothreat IV reveals the consequences; an attack so powerful that it results in great forgetting. Even Necrothreat IV is in ashes, now.

But the Forumites still hold to their characteristic strength. They still wield pickaxes. And they are not defeated.

This location is in the Desolation of Shosa itself. It is a terrifying, twisted land far from the Mountainhomes. But a fortress here would be a dagger into the heart of the enemy.

She has killed a fellow forumite, a zombie forumite and 3 elves as well as 2 Troglodytes. She did this with a pick which made the other Troglodyes run in fear. In so doing she single-handedly held off an attack. - Death during the Fall of Necrothreat I - Necrothreat I

Stukos Zefonotin - Unknown - Like Obok Lanlarurdim, Stukos has killed 43 male (yet another male fetish) elves in Glidesnarls. Other kills include 5 tigers and 10 jaguars in Glidesnarls as well as a wild boar man an woman, 2 Zombie Gray Langur Women and his greatest feat, Akith Sloshlabors the Troll - Death during the Fall of Necrothreat I - Necrothreat I

Mebzuth Kuletabod - Unknown - As with other of her kind from Glidesnarls, she has killed exactly 43 male elves in Glidersnarls. This raises questions concerning the origins of these elf-killers. Mebzuth also killed 5 female tigers, 4 male tigers and 5 leopards - Death during the Fall of Necrothreat I - Necrothreat I

Fath Avuztost - Living Head - This head has caused many problems in Necrothreat I, nigh on destroying Necrothreat itself. First, as a simple head it became a warning to our enemies. Now it is our doom. Scaring our Forumites, it prevents us from working. With this foul tactic it destroys us. - Undead Legend that died out during the Fall of Necrothreat I - Necrothreat I

Cutstandards - Zombie Yak - Slew DwArfY, who previously had fought gods. A harbinger of later destruction. - Undead Legend. Died when DwArfY's corpse revived and destroyed it while it was alight. - Necrothreat II

Asmel - The Vampire Defender - Stood indefatigable in battle against the hordes of Fain's minions. Abstains from the blood of the living, instead drinks only from the dead. - Death during The Abomination Th4DwArfY1's reign. - Necrothreat II

Solon - Maiden of the Spear - During the Great Undead siege in the Second Turn of Th4DwArfY1, Solon fought endlessly, killing many before numbers forced her back. She did this despite the loss of a leg. Prior to her arrival, she killed 144 animal men in the Belted Jungle. - Death during The Abomination Th4DwArfY1's reign. - Necrothreat II

Sulin - Leader of the Maidens - Fought valiantly alongside Solon, killing at least as many zombies. Wielder of the named spear, and Spearmistress. 80 kills, all zombies. Truly, a thorn in the side of Armok and Fain. - Unknown - Necrothreat II

NAV - The Harbinger - Longest-lived Forumite, living for six years in Necrothreat II. A fierce warrior and fiercer boozesmith. Battle can not stop his thirst, and he would stop to drink while surrounded by utter horrors. All of that without a spine. - Death during The Redeemer IronTomato's reign. - Necrothreat II

Coilmerge the North Wisp - Zombie Zombie Slayer - Has killed 102 of Necrothreat II's enemies, all the while being one of them himself! Coilmerge is the zombie that rebelled against his own, saving Necrothreat by diverting attention. All with just an iron wiki article as a weapon. - Unknown - Necrothreat II

TheFlame52 - The Determined Savior - This Forumite sent the fortress to its death, until releasing the HFS he saved it. This pushed both Necrothreaders and demons back into their respective spheres. He saved the fortress from a disaster wrought by himself. Truly a magnanimous feat. - Unknown - Necrothreat III

Udib Ruthöshiden - Troll's Bane - No one knows where he came from. In legend he is a guardian in shape of Forumite, delivering the excavation project from Troll invasion. He trapped legions of trolls with no equipment, ensuring that others could live. His name is Ruthöshiden and he is a war hero. - Death during the Preserver Arx's turn - Necrothreat IV

Budilotud - Second Coming of Ur - A panda kept by the Queen for a decade. The supreme villain of Necrothreat IV who ended the fortress. Against all tradition and natural laws it learnt the secrets of life and death. Escaping from its cage during the death throes of King Apiks, it led the undead king back into the halls. An ultimately devastating civil war ensued. Records say that the panda was one of the more popular attractions in the fortress. Nobody saw it coming... - Unknown - Necrothreat IV

Jasro Spishabstama - Siegebreaker - This double-barreled shotgun spearwoman arrived during Shosa's first attack on Necrothreat V (Lord_lemonpie's turn). Her peerless valour and bullets freed us. Since then, she has fought off fell undead snatchers and lazorsharks. Defending both the caverns and the surface, we Forumites must wonder where her danger-sense will lead her next. - Alive - Necrothreat V
