Modded races are fun!
« on: September 05, 2008, 09:58:07 pm »
I modded in bronze colossi as a playable race, and I've been easily slaughtering human towns. Arrows just bounce off of me, which is a welcome change.

Well, it's true. Cleaving through everything is much more fun than getting turned into confetti by crossbow bolts. It's the "Winning is fun" mentality thing, which is very un-dwarfy.

Give your colossus a BURN damage attack with 500 base damage for an extra good time.

I as playing around as a bronze colossus in an earlier version.  I named him "Talos", and started chewing my way through hordes of monsters by splitting them apart with my bare hands.

I found out two very interesting things about bronze colossi.  One, they cannot learn, and thus cannot gain skills.  Two, they can be paralyzed by giant cave spider poison.  Three, they apparently do not need eyes in order to see.

That cyclops and his damned spider pet were torn to shreds for taking my eyes.  I broke every bone in his body, ripped out his eye, and then slowly beat him to death over a long period (so that he could recover in between beatings).  I then used his corpse as a weapon against all those who stood in my path.

I also have a world with no playable bronze colossi where I like to see how far I can get solo as a human.

(For the playable bronze colossus, I also modded it so that the playable version has a brain and is intelligent.)

Modded weapons are fun, too.  I was just playing as a size 200 Titan wielding a hammer with 1500 damage.  Landing one solid blow would make almost anything fly away and collide with an obstacle.

Then I wandered into a human temple.

The priestess who shot me almost managed to block and dodge my attacks long enough for me to suffocate.  Almost. :)


By the way, giving all the megabeasts an extra order of magnitude in size makes the Age of Myth last quite nicely.

Very impressive.. but can you beat THE SPY?!

Bwahaha. Permanent paralysis is fun! Although the backstab tells me "It !" or "It is !" if I hit the body/head. Obviously a little too powerful. Plus, -1 damblock means i'm pretty squishy.

Not as much sheer damage, but they're fun.  That permanent paralysis is a good idea - I may have to add something along those lines.

my favourite is making everyone dragons, youre a dragon but that dosent matter because everyone else is a dragon. You go into a town and you think itll be easy to kill everyone but its not BECAUSE EVERYONE IS DRAGONS!! it wins

I modded my default cats to have a smite attack that does 999 basic burn damage. I then modded them so that they would wander the world and could survive almost anywhere. Then man is it scary when you are ambushed by a group of ten kittens. ;D
