Would it be possible to make a mod where not only do you play as a carp, but you always start in a body of water. That would be the only foreseeable problem, is that you would start on land and suffocate right off the bat.

[Halmie]

Not possible to build in water in fortress mode.

[magikarcher]

That wasn't what I was asking or aiming for. Its for adventure mode, not fortress.

Or just make Carp amphibi-
OH GOD NO.

[Vester]

 

That would end the world.

[Dante`]

Note to self: Kill off the wizards who thought up the amphibeous carp.

Note to self: Scratch that, Since even orcs are afraid of carps train the land walkers and set as defensce.

Side note: If you could mod them to be assigned as dogs even a cripple hunter could clear the map.

Hmm, how do I go about making a fish amphibious? I'm quite new to this, so do excuse me


And I "Guess" that one could make a carp race for adventure mode, you just have to make them excellent swimmers, right?

[TatersAndTots]

You could make your main entrance flanked by long ponds, filled with amphieous carp... shit. How about 4/7 water with chained carp. Put it in a depressoion with ramps. Oh shit.

But think about the horror as you attempt to catch the carp to train them...

*thinks of fleeing hunters and trappers drowning and being mauled in both land and water*

[Frogwarrior]

Well, catching them shouldn't be too hard. Build cage traps (and a floodgate) in a channel leading to your future chain area, then breach the river. Hopefully the current should push carp into the traps.. Then, drain to 4/4, tame, and chain. Not that I've tested it, though.

[Vynergy]

You wouldn't even need land... You'd just need to be a carp, in a giant river, with a whole civilization of dwarves. It'd take 30 seconds or so to finish, but still.

[Phantom]

You can, though, it would be strange for a fish just flopping around on the ground and murder Urist McAdamantineClad.

[magikarcher]

My question still hasn't been answered. Is there a way to force you to start in water, that way the carp doesn't suffocate.

[Halmie]

You could make it amphibous with the tag and I think they have [IMMOBILE_LAND] so get rid of that, hop into the water, save and get the carp back to the original state and I think it will work. Not too sure.

Oh and I was thinking of making a carp evoulotion mod, with amphibous carp civs and megabeast carp. But then I realised what I'd done.

[Dwarf]

But hey, get away from the generic Carp cliché. After all, it's their dragging of dwarves into water which makes them deadly. And their slightly overkill Bite attack.

[Vester]

Or maybe it's the fact that RL carp



Get huge!
