Scamps is attacking threetoe? 

Threetoe is a rabbit not a Sloth.

Or another animal I cannot spell without embarassing myself.

Heh, it probably is a guinea pig, given his avatar.  Though wouldn't it properly be 3.5-toe then?  I always think of the sloth when I hear the name

[Mel_Vixen]

By the way the "Guinea pig" has nothing to do with the country guinea. It was an old British currency and is spoken a bit french iirc. "Cuys" were sold for 1 guinea in Europe. Damn sea-taming Boatbuilding Elves!

Today's devlog: Unlimited animalmen attacks with crude weapons, unlimited wildlife. Troglodyte EVERYTHING.

I came.

Toady just put up a special sub-entity type thing to let underground animalmen have weapons/clothes without having to track each individual as a historical figure and also possibly without having to have settlements. That's actually something i suggested some time back.

WOO! 

This paves the way for a similar sub-entity thing for intelligent (semi-)megabeasts. No more titanic nudists, and bronze colossi can get ginormous suits of bronze armor and huge bronze weapons. From what i understand about what he just set up, you can apply it to aboveground creatures without any hitches already, so we can get ogres with clubs and tigermen with spears etc. Awesome.

Edit: Also, ThreeToe's avatar is a capybara. Silly forumgoers.

Ho-yeah! Non-designated civs are awesome!

[Areyar]

the titans should still require a settlement with a forge to get/make that huge armour though...
unless they get it as a birthday gift from their deity parent.

Ogre tribes roaming around would be pretty sweet.  As would packs of wolves, herds of... herd animals, etc.

something that could theoretically be exhausted but wouldn't happen in practice in dwarf mode, as they don't have to send every last critter after you while they breed back up and you can't currently hunt all of them down

sounds like a challenge to me

[Neonivek]

Interesting, The Update brings new hope to allowing non-civilised creatures (Who may or may not be intelligent) to carry weapons.

Though it is the Beastmen so perhaps not since they could be considered a type of civilisation or special consideration.

Toady what are the future plans for the Beastmen in the sense of a social/civilisation structure if I am allowed to ask? Will they be Civilised or as an "Intelligent" creature will they automatically be drawn to form societies?

Hmm that isn't exactly what I want to ask... but I can't seem to call it forth in my mind.

[Mel_Vixen]

I hope that means also demons with adamantine weapons and maybe armor.

the whole point of the adamantine being there in the first place was to seal them I think
giving them the ability to make weapons and armor out of that stuff kinda destroys that image


that being said, a spirit of fire that is wearing adamantine armor and wields adamantine weapons is vastly overpowered

When ever I hear something like that, I never believe them. To me, it always sounds like hyperbole. I mean, its pretty awesome, but it doesn't give the same KIND of satisfaction to most people as sex.

Also, I want trolls wielding both homemade clubs and dwarf-made hanheld ballistae.

[Mel_Vixen]

Ok then some "demonic Metal" maybe. A firewhip would just fit the Balrog image i have from the Firesprits.

nah, the [SEVER_ON_BREAK] clearly indicates that spirits of fire more drift into that direction

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

the balrogs will have to wait until we get HFS below the HFS

[Mel_Vixen]

Well we will see what the new body definition for the demons and Spirits says. (partial) Armor for them would prevent the goblinrulers from dying by Bonebolts. But as said we will see what comes and can be modded.
