Megabeasts can become civ leaders?
« on: July 24, 2008, 03:34:09 pm »

A frost giant settled in the town of Glowedvoids in 1 and for 60 years, he defended the place as the leader. He even led victorious attacks against the elves, leading armies of that particular civ. He was struck down when a bunch of dwarves decided to siege the town and he led the final defense.

What the heck? Was this supposed to happen? Because it's damn cool!

Leading defense from an attack does not necessarily mean they're the civ leader.  Export generation info with (p) from legends and check the world_sites_and_pops.txt for that town.
Post your findings.

Observe, and be astounded:
Code: [Select]
The Wraith of Spew, Purge walkers
 Worship List
  Osmoz Mobhowl the Cyclone of Scratches, frost giant: chaos, death, wisdom
 Ruler List
  [*] Osmoz Mobhowl the Cyclone of Scratches (b.??? d. 55, Reign Began: 1), *** Original Line, Never Married
      No Children
  [*] Z杯 Tombstrike (b.43 d. 85, Reign Began: 55), *** New Line, Married (d. 57)
      1 Child (out-lived) -- Ages at death: (d. 70)
      Worshipped Osmoz Mobhowl the Cyclone of Scratches (41%)
  [*] Ngosto Dirgeverse the Warm Woman (b.3, Reign Began: 85), *** New Line, Never Married
      No Children
      Worships Osmoz Mobhowl the Cyclone of Scratches (37%)

See, right at the top there. He became a civ leader. Note that my purge walkers are essentially superpowered humans. Their religion raws are exactly the same as goblins.

If you want, I can upload screenshots of the legends page showing him leading attack after attack after attack and then defense after defense. It's damn cool!

Here's the raws of the frost giant:
Code: [Select]

[ATTACK:MAIN:BYTYPE:GRASP:punch:punches:1:4:BLUDGEON][ATTACKFLAG_WITH]
[ATTACK:MAIN:BYTYPE:THOUGHT:chill:chills:1:6:COLD]
[CHILD:12][BABY:1][MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE]
[FAT:10]
[EQUIPS]
[ALL_ACTIVE]
[BIOME:ANY_LAND]

[LAYERING:300]
[SWIMS_LEARNED][SWIM_SPEED:2500]
[SPHERE:CHAOS]
[SPHERE:DEATH]
[SPHERE:WISDOM]
[POWER]

Does this mean you don't have to be a demon to rule?

Sweet! So he was the founder and god-king for a whole civilization.

OT: Did Ngosto Dirgeverse, the Warm Woman do anything of note? Because that's a really cool name and title.

He killed 77 dwarves and defended against countless sieges. He's still there actually. This world is pretty fun because dwarves, for some reason, are attacking everything like mad and the purge walkers are the only thing standing in their way. The last remaining goblins, humans, and elves all live to the north, far behind the borders of the purge walkers.

p.s: I also noticed that besides homes, all existing purge walkers have "hangouts". It's in the legends mode too.

Code: [Select]

Glowedvoids <home>
Glowedvoids <hangout>

Wonder what that means.

There's nothing strange. You copied goblins, right? Well, they pick powers as leaders. And as long as megabeasts can become worshipped powers now, there's nothing strange.
