I'm trying to mod in a new civ and corresponding megabeast. I haven't tested the megabeast, but the civ doesn't show up in either of the seasons it is supposed to, for both years I tested it. Here is the raw creature entry:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And here is the entity default entry:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

My mod-fu was weak when I made this, so it was mostly just copying and pasting things, then tweaking them. (I can now make an entire new entry on my own, yay!)

EDit: more info, they build cities but but no caravans ever come.

You lack [PROGRESS_TRIGGER_X] i think.

Lookey here, similar problem.

PS: You have [trANSLATION] in your civ's raw

I assume you want your race to attack/trade during winter and summer?

Hence [ACTIVE_SEASON:SUMMER] [ACTIVE_SEASON:WINTER], right?

Can you be a little more specific with your question?

Progress triggers will encourage races to attack you. The babysnatcher item_thief tags will make them send babysnatchers and thieves first, respectively, and depending on the success they will attack you more. Removing CAN_SPEAK will make them always attack everyone.

I guess I'm not really sure what you want to happen.

I want them to trade with me in the summer and winter.

[CREATURE:OCTARINE GOLEM] may be the problem.

Try [CREATURE:OCTARINE_GOLEM] instead, tags cannot consist of two words.

Also, always check your errorlog.txt.

[PROGRESS_TRIGGER_X] tokens make a race attack or trade with you, depending on relations at embark. There's also a certain random element, and it can sometimes take several years for a race to show up to trade or siege.

Also, the babysnatcher and item_thief tokens do more than just cause them to send thieves rather than siege. They also make a race semi-hostile to you by default (red --- at embark). Remove babysnatcher from the gobbos, for instance, and they won't baby snatch or ambush you whatsoever, and they'll send a yearly caravan carrying cloth and meat. They basically turn into elves v.1.5 if you do that.

So, I need a progress trigger:1 tag and a creature:Octarine_golem heading. Haspen, you were a little unclear, should I remove the translation tag or not?
