Epic Elves?
« on: June 04, 2009, 11:54:07 am »

So, everyone hates the bloodthirsty tree huggers.


I have found one reason to like them, but only one... They bring good pets.

Is there any way to mess with the civ text for them that makes them bring nothing but cages filled with creatures?

I tried myself, first, but i failed miserably.

Urist Austin, Axedwarf.  A dwarf barely alive.  Gentledwarves, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic dwarf. Urist Austin will be that dwarf. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.

A better bet would be to give them a trade liaison.

just chain em to the walls near entrances or chasms, they'll eat anything that tries to attack!

for added fun sell metal cages with their elven brethren inside to elven merchants

Just wondering if it would be possible (however unwise) to make demons a civilisation
I don't see any reason they couldn't be. What would happen if they breached the HFS?
Horrors! Annoying relatives in the deep!

Best solution is to give humans the [USE_ANY_PET_RACE] tag, you'll be able to outright request any animals you want (be careful; GCS are friggen expensive) and you can now safely drown every single Elf and not worry about waiting for that awesome animal to turn up.

I'm going to assume that requires a regen.

Give it to Dwarves.  It's awesome.

AWESOME.  You can embark with that stuff. 

But don't bother with purring maggots.  they can't be milked.  They WILL however each come with a cage.

I did this and had the mod that added all those (animal)men and because of something weird ended up with a ratman child immigrant!

So it seems I accidentally put my canteen in my wheelbarrow and didn't notice... and then I got really thirsty... so right before going to sleep I go to take a swig from my canteen and... end up snorting a line of low-grade meth.
