I had a wyvern attack one of my fortresses a while back.  Everyone got inside safely and I just watched as it melted itself.  It destroyed a workshop I had outside, and melted off all of its own fat causing massive bleeding.  It then went chasing a goat around trying to breath on it and just keeled over dead.

Due to a 'glitch' (materials and heat transfer got upgraded), Aspid dwarves got an unexpected upgrade: their venom is now super-heated for maximum FUN!

Well it makes some sense I guess, but it doen't explain why Wyverns acid is
a)Affecting the Wyverns
b)making organs rot

.....
Words fail me to describe how much I love you right now for making this.

But before I scour a dictionary,
"Obsidian Dwarves: Obsidian dwarves have a spirit of an ancient origin. They can manipulate fires at will, summoning a sparkle to lighten their way or a raging inferno to punish their foes. It means that nobody wants to see them near a booze stockpile."
I laughed for five minutes straight at that.

I'm actually thinking of modding Obsidian dwarves out of my next game.  They're more annoying than anything.  Anytime they sense danger, they start belching fire all over the place, and I've never seen it do anything to an enemy.  All it does is ensure my fortress lawn will never be anything but an ashen waste.

Yep, I do that for my worlds, remove all the dwarven webspit/firebreath. Let the fire come from lizardfolk sorcerers and orc flamemasters (which I have not made yet).

Hey Deon! could we have a pet animal that leaves a slimy trail! Big annoyance when a migrant shows up with a slimegoat.
Or a slitherkin. Or an Eelsnake. Or a Cave Gnort.

If you are a dwarf, balors pose no problem, as you are fire immune, and the main trouble I had with mine was that every scratch I gave it made it gout flaming magma gas stuffs.

It's a bug, dwarves are supposed to be hurt by fire, but the tissue-change-for-Obsidiancaste unfontunately upgrades all dwarves.

erm it may just be me but i just had 2 goblin ambushes at the edge of the map and they were revelaed right away then they started killing each other. so i looked at them and it was 2 females and 1 male and the females killed the male off then stopped fighting so i think ure goblin genders are at war with each other. and i have had a goblin ambush before and they didnt do this. also this time i got 2 seperate goblin ambushes at once different sides of the map both were revelaed both were squads of 3 where as my last ambush was about 6-10 people so maybe it is 2 civs fighting each other and they spawned with the wrong group or somthing here let me check nope only one civ of them so u may wanna check ure genders on them 0.o

Oh, hey. Don't I know it! I was responding to someone wondering why Balors were too easy. I figured if they were a dwarf that was a really good explanation why they found it "easy".

Question: is the balor's boiling magma fire blood stuffs easy to mod into other creatures? I really want the "magma bolt" effect for severed pieces of some other (lighter) creature, but testing hasn't gone so well. Closest I've come it melted the corpse.

BOOOOORRRRING. Plenty of dwarves talk about nature, only Obsidian Dwarves do something about it!

Okay, I'm doing Genesis tweaking now. Discussing and modding is metagame. I'll put my raws up for download.
No obsidian-dwarf firebreath or dwarf-tissue fire immunity.
Gave skills to my creatures (creature_custom_tt.txt). Beware the giant otter's bite and twisting-away(wrestling) skill.

Removed 3000-strength from asps and cobras (again) and made them rarer (population 10 not 250, I look at world's creature counts). And dropped speed from 1000 to 1500.
Small legs (not horse/dog running legs) to monitor & gator & turtles (QUADRUPED_SMALL bodytype). Gator [AMBUSHPREDATOR].
Gave skills to SCORPION_DESERT_GIANT and tigermen. Tigermen materials value from 1 to 3.
Lions etc. get wrestling skill, you know they can twist away from your grasp.

Foxes and wolves get more skills... I think the stupid slow creatures (cave blob, mud crab type things) should be skill zero. Little foxes about 2-3 level skill, giant lions 5-6. Wolf awareness 7.
Jackal leather value 2, meat and fat etc. back to 1.
Put correct FEMALEGEN to female skunks.
Cooked meal renaming for my taste. Less balls, more cake. I do care what the items are named while trading them.

Kangaroos, added [BIOME:DESERT_BADLAND] (not a sand desert) and frequency from 5 to 25. And kicking and wrestling skill.
Skills to anubites, cave carp, armorman and nith. And muskox, elk, polar bear, reindeer, elk bird, and the cat-sized CRUNDLE. (Deleted kicking from the 10kg biped crundle. You don't see macaques kicking each other.)
Manera, the wall-crawler, gets FLIER to simulate wall-climbing. Beware, if you make home in the caves.
Blind cave bear upgrade...
Wrestling skills to raptors... I think they were one of Deon's favorite beasts. I don't think they dodge 5, more like 3. Jump-to-side isn't what pack predators do.


Oh, I have
"[MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:GOODWOOD_TEMPLATE] --by TomiTapio, September 12, for mahogany, oak etc. best furniture wood."
I had forgotten all about my wood upgrade!! (It's redwood, sequoia, cypress, redcedar, puzzle-tree, yew.)
I call toughleather "hide". So you can SEE which leather armor is better. Toughtooth material is called "fang" in my worlds, for fun.

I'll definitely make use of some of this in my next fortress. I really just need to get more into modding.  Just from reading the tweaks you've made, it sounds like there's a lot of stuff I'd probably like to clean up.

...What does Illithid toxin do?

[Icee77]

Nord's are AWESOME!
I am currently a Nord adventurer and asked two axemen if they could join me. I was surprised they wanted to. Soon after, nearly every Nord i ask joins. 

[Seriyu]

Out of curiosity, about how much stronger is hide/fang then leather/teeth normally? I assume it doesn't beat out metal or anything?
