If you are unfamiliar with the term "Brainstorm," please go here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrainstormingThis is a place for you to post any/every idea you have about modding the game without worrying about it being a good idea or not. It can be as simple or as complex an idea as you have. The goal is to provide a safe area for ideas to proliferate without worrying about utility, feasibility, or sensibility.
The RulesAsk and Answer: Pose questions that may or may not have answers, and feel free to answer any others have posed.
Quantity, not Quality: The more ideas we come up with, the more likely it is there will be unpredicted greatness. Don't worry about coming up with good ideas - just come up with ideas. They can be sorted through later.
Don't Be Arbitrarily Critical: This is tied with the first rule. Commenting on a particularly interesting or crazed idea is fine, but try to avoid telling people their idea is flawed. Instead, offer your own idea for improvement.
Run With It: Pursue the ideas you like. Combine and contrast them to breed monsters. If you are struck by a strange mood, make a topic.
Go nuts.I'll start this off.
- How does the game spawn mules and other sterile creatures?
- Making cats sterile by default prevents catsplosions but prevents kittens from being born (does it?)
- Butcher-able fairies.
- Unique types of clothing, toys, and weapons for each civilization. Goblin children might play with toy implements of torture.
- By giving a dragon 300,000 "Dragon Scale" body parts, would they become nigh invulnerable?
- Expanding the speech .txt files to give those confrontations more flavor.
Some grandiose mod proposals:
- Verbose Vocabulary: Assemble a team of individuals who, using a dictionary, rework the language files to include
every word in the English language.- Mythic Bestiary: Akin to the esteemed creature atlas, this mod will aim to create a bestiary of mythical [fanciful] creatures and races. This will involve many, many creature raws. Due to the voluminous nature of world mythologies, finding source material is the easy part.
- War and Weaponry: Every pre-gunpowder weapon ever devised added to the game, constructable and usable.
