I once added the [TAMEABLE] and [trAINABLE] tags to unicorns, and then ended up with a soldier with an artifact unicorn leather shield and an army of war unicorns. He died holding off the HFS.

Update 2- December 10, 2009,  25th Galena, 254, Late Summer

Not much happened since first update. I added the necessary [PET] and [trAINABLE] tags that I forgot earlier. I designated the elaborate trap system itself, but am waiting for my few, unskilled mechanics to make the necessary mechanisms and build the darn things.

One thing I forgot:

The Final Boss Demon

only comes as a single unit so a breeding pair in any game would be impossible. If there is success in frog demon breeding, I might fiddle with some utilities to turn one of my kittens into the opposite gender (but thats a while from now).

Overall a pointless post, but I found it somewhat necessary. I just wanted to let you know the exact progress, to let you know that I am sticking to the idea and as a meager attempt to un-de-rail (re-rail?) the thread.

On a relevant note, [SPHERE:FIRE] is a tag that makes the demon associated with fire, it doesn't make it actually light things on fire. Removing the fire breath might have been smart, though.

Yeah, the sphere does not do anything really.
Its sad about him removing the firebreath. Its a nice thing to have. I use it with dragons. Have them toast hairy dwarves and smelly elves.

Can't you capture one from the goblins?

[DaPatman]

I'm fairly certain you need to add the [CHILD] tag if you want them to breed.

AHHHH,
you spoil my FUN
I wanted to see how many weeks it takes him to figure out why they not breeding.

[Foa]

Hmm, there is a problem... ( continues in the spoiler )

I know the raw files, there is nothing labeled as the final boss demon, unless you are talking about the demons with the ending tag.

*prob would have fallen for marecks plot*
Um on that topic, have you posted the details about the goblin butchery yet?

thats is exactly what I meant, since the wiki refers to that tag as the one that makes it the

"final boss", in a sense

I would have figured it out eventually, prolly quicker than a few weeks

Update 3- December 12, 2009  14th Timber, 254, Late Autumn

I completed the traps and breached the HFS. Trapping them was easy, but it took a lot longer than I thought. With most of the demons in cages, I still have to wait for the last few that are still in there (i am sure of it). Once all the demons are in the cages, I will start reloading the traps, and the real science can be committed.

I also did more work with the raws.
-Changed [PET] to [PET_EXOTIC]
-[CHILD:1] number is low to make research quicker
-[CHILDNAME:spawn]
-[PETVALUE:1000] (1250 for Demon)
-[SPECNAME:female:demoness:demonesses:demoness] for extra flavor
-[liTTERSIZE:1:2]

Update 4- December 13, 2009  5th Moonstone, 254 Early Winter

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

5th Moonstone, 254 Early Winter,
     The chilling winter breeze blisters my rugged skin. If I had known of these terrible winters here in the North, I would have never agreed to this job. I realize that this is only my first winter here and that it is only going to get worse. Thankfully, I must spend my time deep in the fortress, tending to the demons.
     Yesterday, the queen gave me the first command since our time back in the Mountainhome. Her dedication to demonology and their uses in dwarven defense is quite remarkable, seeing as it brought her form our comforted hallways in the mountains. And if she wasn't so damned set on harnessing demonic power, I could be sitting at home, with some dwarven rum and a plump helmet.
     Now, of the demons, some notable headway has been made. The local animal trainer, Ustuth, and I have been working non-stop with the demon leader, seeing if we can control his anger and stop his hostility to dwarves. Its seem that he and these two other frogdemons seem to have basically abandoned their violent nature to dwarves, thus I conclude that they are "tame".
     I just told Queen Zulgar of this finding, and I'm afraid this is only the begging of her abusive rule over me. I have never yet seen her as deviant as now, not since she received word of the adamantine vein found in this small town. Who knows? Maybe this will turn out well, and I will be greatly rewarded. But still, I fear that this power is to never be had by dwarves.
        Signed,
         Ast Ustuthalis- Dungeon Master, Head of Scientific Research in the Tenacious Smith

     I have decided to take a more role-playing approach to this, since most of the modding/editing is done with and to make it more interesting by making a sort of background story. From now on, I will put journal entries, dialogues, etc in a spoiler. Anything else that wouldn't fit in context I will put here.
