LORD_ENGLISH is.

The only difference is the lack of a LOWERBODY tag. I did that so that I could have bisections without death, but I feel I may have to add [EMBEDDED] so that the lower body simply can't be cut off at all.

Hello, I don't want to be "Hurrr tell me how to do thurrrs."
But, I could not find any topics on how to do such!
So, here is the problemos; to make your own creature in Dwarf fortress or what not you need tokens?
If I wanted to make something that had I dunno 4 heads and eyeballs for legs I would change the number of body parts it has right?
Or would I start from scratch? Or say that I wanted to play as a race of super wrestling, quick dodging, 12-foot tall cigar smoking pink cats with human bodies; I would have to make my own, but where to start?

I tried looking over other creations and here is what I have...

I am stuck on the attributes, though...

what do you think?

[Putnam]

You want CREATURE_TILE, not CREATURE_TITLE.

EDIT: Creatures unkillable in normal play are fairly easy to do away with in worldgen.

EDIT: Creatures unkillable in normal play are fairly easy to do away with in worldgen.

World gen battles seem to exclusively roll attributes and skills or something against each other. It's really frustrating, I wish that equipment at least was modeled, I'm tired of elves slaying megabeasts with steel skin with sticks!

[dopple]

Any way to make its tile color pink?
What else should I add? What if I want to also make it playable?

[COLOR:5:0:1]

To make it playable, you want an entity.

And castes. You need castes.

[calico103]

Okay, I am now working on mosquitoes and giant mosquitoes (Yes, I do like making giant versions of tiny creatures. How'd you guess?) and I was wondering: For, say, my blood-sucking attack, is it possible to put an ATTACK token under the female caste and have the attack be female-only?

[trees]

For, say, my blood-sucking attack, is it possible to put an ATTACK token under the female caste and have the attack be female-only?

Yup, most tags are caste-level unless it specifically defines something for the entire creature.

[calico103]

Awesome. So, I just put it under the CASTE block like with the FEMALE token? Or should I use SELECT_CASTE:FEMALE?

[trees]

Either will work fine.

Indeed. Making an invulnerable ethereal unskilled megabeast and pitting it against worldgen creatures makes it vulnerable via some kind of shenanigans. You can circumvent that by making them naturally very skilled with battles and attacking.

[drilltooth]

is any symptom more reliable than the others for producing bad thoughts other than "lost a freind to tragedy"? my latest project would benefit from one of the creatures having a contact syndrome that is less than lethal, but could still kick off some ‼fun‼ if you wern't careful.

Try a syndrome that rots a specific non-vital bodypart such as the eyes/the skin, and nothing else. Miasma bad thought guaranteed, side effects may include melee warriors who actually obey your orders and feel no pain.

Quick question:

Do these reactions work?
