Of course, we'll also be able to implement Terry Pratchett's trolls, with rock flesh, gold brains, diamond teeth, and so on.

I seem to recall making pants out of bunny brains in Armok 1.  Will we be able to do the same thing with the new version I hope?

I wonder, does this ugrade include gender-differentiation ?

it would seem appropriate, if we have that level of detail and can mod in flesh golems made of eye-lashes, that dwarves have their respected lulus and lalas



oh god, I just said lulus and lalas....

Yeah, gender differentiation was already confirmed.  No official genitalia as yet, although it'll be trivially easy to mod them in, as complex as you want.  If you could link tissue sizes to emotional states as you can to attributes... well, down that road lies only despair, but it WOULD have legitimate uses, like pufferfish bloating themselves when frightened.

Technically this also could help officially mod in the Hulk

Size alteration could be fun in many cases, especially as a token ability. Go go mecha-dwarf battlemode.

The following is an actual ASCII art reward.

Code: [Select]
@-***=.T

The Pulson-9000 seared the sky trailing ion-energized purple lightning. The XZ-Trollmech Mk7 didn't stand a chance. Another contract, another payment. Rogar was the last dwarf of his village, and after many hardships had fallen into the tough life of a mercenary warrior. He had stolen his first fighting bot, but after three years he had enough money to build and repair his own. He spent his offtime tinkering, which soothed his still-dwarven heart.

For now though, he was in enemy territory. True, the contract was complete, but he had fought his way deep into the personal citadel of the vile cyber-modded troll Vanquidor in order to blow his Mk7 body to pieces, and now he had to laze through the bodyguards and sentry droids he hadn't already obliterated. The dwarf had very little ordinance remaining. Rogar put on his shades. Things were about to get hot, but he was cool as a sonic-fan. Time to fire it up! Yeah!

Can we give all the necessary tags for survival to a single body part?

It would be interesting if you tie specific tokens to bodyparts. For instance, [FLIER] to wings. Lose the wings, no more flying. Or [MILKABLE] to an udder (or whatever gland purring maggots have). Or [AMPHIBIOUS] to gills or similar.

Another thought (although probably difficult to implement) would be to implement age-based tokens. Particularly, I was thinking of the silk and leather tokens. I love the idea that while giant cave spider silk is generally pretty flammable, you could have the silk of a really, really ancient giant cave spider be as tough as steel, enabling you to weave a lovely magmaproof silk shirt. (Note: magmaproofing does not extend to wearer). Or using giant scorpion tails to build poisoned ballista bolts. Tie all this to the Animal Dissector skill, and you suddenly make a very rare and mostly useless job into the most popular dwarf in town.
