Could someone help me make a civ/race?
« on: December 04, 2009, 05:55:39 pm »

Basically, I'm trying to make a race/civ that's basically composed off emotionless immortal beings to simply make a huge-ass fortress, one which I perhaps can later reclaim with ordinary dwarves?

Anyone that could help? I'm really poor at modding civs etc, despite the helpful wiki!

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies!

I would take the basic humans or dwarves and copy them.  Then add stuff like [SPEED:1] [DAMBLOCK:20] [SIZE:40] [HEATDAM_POINT:25100][IGNITE_POINT:25200][MELTING_POINT:25300][NO_DRINK][NO_EAT][NO_SLEEP][FIREIMMUNE][NOFEAR][NOPAIN][EXTRAVISION][NOBREATHE][NOBLEED][NOSTUN][NONAUSEA][NOEMOTION][NOTHOUGHT][NOEXERT].

Just stick them anywhere in the entry, give your creatures a new name in the [CREATURE:(name)] tag and you should be good.  Thing should be effectively immortal.  The only exception is the heatdam melting and ignite point tags place those anywhere underneath [STANDARD_FLESH]

Oh yea, forgot the civ part.  For that just copy over dwarves, give them a new header name (change [ENTITY:MOUNTAIN] to [ENTITY:somethingelse]) and point the creatures it uses to your new uberdwarves.

I made these for exactly that purpose!

[EDIT]: Just add [CIV_CONTROLLABLE] to the civ and add the speed tag to the creature if you want them to be faster than normal humans or dwarves. They are also large enough to wear human armour. If you want a better civ for this, simply copypaste the dwarven civ and replace the creature tag on the civ.

Unfortunately, they won't path underwater. They'll be able to go underwater, but they won't do anything down there except go 'OH SHIT WHY AM I IN THE WATER'

Dang that's a shame :\

I was hoping the noemotion tag would make it so they dont give a shit and almost blindly follow my orders.
