Carpippogonlephaglebold

[CAN_CIV]
[CAN_SPEAK]
[CAN_LEARN]

Every world gen from then on would go like this:

Year 1: Age of Myth
Year 2: Age of Myth
Year 3 to infinity: Age of the Carpippogonlephaglebold.

Not a clue as it was really just a joke.

Somebody else could probably make it work with a few tweaks though.

Looks pretty solid, but the Butcherable_nonstandard bit is superfluous. THe only way to know for sure is to test it out. Who is willing to lose a fort to this monstrosity?

I agree with Urist. Steampunk is like Darth Vader winning Holland's Next Top Model. It would be awesome but not something I'd like in this game.

Unfortunately dying involves the amputation of the entire body from the dwarf.

I'm not, I'd be afraid it'll jump straight out of the screen and eat my face.

Yikes, the Orcs have a nasty language.  Traditional foreplay would be right out for them; how would they ever "say my name" for one another?  No wonder Ocrs are always so bloodthirsty and violent, they're getting sub-par action.

I'm supprised no-one thought to add Giant Cave Spiders into the genetic mix. I would have thought having a built-in ranged weapon would have made the Giant Skelletal SpiCarippopotiphantder would have been the first thing on all your minds.

Though on second thought, they might be sterile...

Personally, I just figured that they bred Giant Cave spiders with Giant Bats, Cave Crocodiles, and a supersized beakdog to create their mounts: the Bacrocavannosaur Rex. A tyrannosaurus with batwings, a crocodile head, and the ability to shoot webs, anyone?

Actually, I did include spiders in my genetic mix. I decided Arachnid was better suited for the name.

All of those things already look like death.

This abomination would look... well, it would break reality.

Wouldnt it work to add multiple heads like a Hydra, but with only 1 [head] tag in the body_whatever.txt .

Although you probably need a new body_whatever.txt unless you like to edit the body_default.txt.

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.
