I'm sure everyone has tweaked the raws a little and added something stupid to the game.

Like I just added Hobo Demons to the HFS for no reason at all other than boredom.


What kind of stuff have you added in for kicks?

[THLawrence]

Fire Carp. They weren't as dangerous as I had hoped.

[Aqizzar]

Crabs.  Added a bunch of different crab-like critters.  Catchable vermin crab.  Size 2 scrabs.  Burning-damage fire crabs.  Crab megabeast big enough to fight titans.

[Golgath]

I added drakes to the game.  In this case, think dragon-like creatures, except smaller and without fire breath.  I was going to name them cave dragons, but that didn't sound right to me.  Too bad I can't figure out how to have them use iron cloth, however..

Crabs.  Added a bunch of different crab-like critters.  Catchable vermin crab.  Size 2 scrabs.  Burning-damage fire crabs.  Crab megabeast big enough to fight titans.

I'd actually be pretty interested in seeing that, if you still have it and don't have a problem with sharing the code.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Those who know will remember what kinds of things my Martial Arts mod included at some point...  at another point, it was far worse than that, but thankfully I never released that.

[Demonic Gophers]

Large carp, giant carp, carp men, carp demons.

The latter sometimes show up as rulers of goblin civs.


Sean: OMAD, you had a 'far worse' unreleased version!?

[Golgath]

Worse stuff?  I thought it was bad enough when my tigerman adventurers got attacked by Giant Redback Spiders almost every time I was in an ambush.  You could have just 'said' that GCS would roam the plains.  =P

[Sean Mirrsen]

Heh, yes, on both accounts. You don't want to know what other bodyparts and attacks I created out of sheer boredom. And I almost released a version where I forgot that I set harpies to spawn by the hundreds, everywhere...

Deon: yes. There are few things worse than being pierced by a goblin's groin, and some of them include specific instances of WHERE you are pierced, heh heh...

[Deon]

Worse than being pierced by a goblin's groin?!

[Dwarmin]

Hmm I made Giant cave roaches, and giant cave beetles-I gave them alot of GCS qualties, so these things are deadly strong.

[Sprout]

I just modded in (and prompty deleted) Giant Forest and Giant Plain Spiders.

You couldn't go three travel steps without being ambushed, caught in a web, and eaten.


Unfourtunatly, they don't spin the big pretty webs like Giant Cave Spiders, but more like the patches that Phantom Spiders do.

[Untelligent]

Carp demons, spirits of ice, Giant Water Spiders, Riptides (more on those later), and the dreaded Holy Carp, to name a few of the creatures I've made.

Also, a rock that could be smelted into turtles (I'm mining for fish!), and a "gas chamber" reaction.



Also, about those riptides... They're manta rays. That "fly" at 12,000 miles per hour a foot above the ground. And they're on fire. And they travel in packs.

Adventure mode is hard.

[Neoskel]

I briefly added in animalmen for every single kind of (mundane) land predator. But then the next version rolled around and i deleted the file.

It was after reading Threetoe's Animal Justice story. 

Edit for more info: They all had the [SAVAGE] tag like Tigermen do, would have made non-tropical savage areas more interesting i bet.

[Nonanonymous]

JUST AS PLANNED!

Anyway, I've added quite a few neat little bits to my raws, everything from pseudo-flamethrowers with HEAT and COLD ammunition, to mandrills that pretend to be a cactus before they beat you down with arms covered in spines.

[i2amroy]

I have taken Untelligent's gas chamber reaction stone that evaporated and then froze all dwarves inside and made it so that the stone looks just like some other stones. (such as marble) It now occurs in small groups in those stones. Then, just for kicks one time I turned the stones into stone layers... they were worse than aquifers! You wouldn't know that they were different from the normal stone until you mined into them, and the only way to get through these layers was to sacrifice dwarves as one mining dwarf could only mine one or maybe two walls if they got out very, very, quickly.
