I look forward to some merged mods using the manager.

[Seriyu]

Does the new purple wizard ability count as a magic blast attack?

IE does uhh... the skill that improves blast attacks improve the miasma breath?

Also am I to assume all the wizards except green still have magic missle?

[Magentawolf]

Unless it was fixed in e / f (and I didn't see it in the changelogs), your wand-making reactions don't take bar sizes into account. I made one wand, and ended up with 150 lithium wands.

IE: The reaction should be -

[REACTION:MAKE_WAND]
[NAME:construct wand]
[BUILDING:TINKER:CUSTOM_W]
[REAGENT:A:150:BAR:NO_SUBTYPE:METAL:NONE]
[PRODUCT:100:1:WEAPON:ITEM_WEAPON_WAND:GET_MATERIAL_FROM_REAGENT:A:NONE]
[SKILL:MECHANICS]

Because they still have their names, I just made it this way for me to sort faster. It's not a change for gameplay.

I see.  Sorry for rambling then

You're right about the missiles, the green wizards should make a little green flash when they connect with certain melee attacks, but they don't throw anything.  The Purple blast does depend on Discipline.  It's the weakest in terms of damage, and the only one that has trouble dealing with plate and mail, but it should still make people sick.

Whoops.  Thanks for telling me.  I put up a quick new version for download with a fix for that and some touches-up for the undead people.

Spoiler: Version 0.32g (click to show/hide)

- Fixed wandmaking reactions so they no longer make 150 per go (thanks MagentaWolf!)
- Removed extraneous creature class from zombies (thanks Deon!)
- Added variety to zombie skin coloration

[Seriyu]

Okay, awesome. I like the new melee blast attacks also, adds a bit of variety. Unless they've been there the entire time and I've never noticed.

[Koji]

Seth, the blast attacks work way better than the breathattack spells I was using. I hope you don't mind if I use your method for my mod?

[SethCreiyd]

Sure, go ahead.  For non-intelligent critters you might want to provide some natural skill in Discipline so they'll choose to blast more often.

[Dohon]

Do you intend to port the mod over to the latest version of DF?

[SethCreiyd]

I started today.  There's new stuff I want to add, but I'll just get a version that works out first.

Edit:  Version .33 uploaded here.

Spoiler: Version 0.33 Changes (click to show/hide)

- Updated to DF version 31.25
- Eggs added to relevant creatures
- Rage added to relevant creatures  >
- Golden Geese added
- Indoor farming added to Wizard Civ to help prevent starvation
- Starting biomes edited
- Removed council member position to prevent starvation
- Removed many sleep pretension tags from wizard/sorcerer nobles

All three added races have problems with famine right now, which I was worried about, but they at least should survive world gen well enough to start a fort.  Wizards were the hardest to get to live, because of the Council Memberes position (wizards would fill up those slots before taking jobs as farmers, so no one would farm, and everyone would die, stupid nobles).

I also removed the extraneous clay reactions and forgot to throw that in the changelog for some reason.

[Seriyu]

Awesome, been waiting for this.

[JusticeRings]

Dont seem to have the correct graphics or the options to use wizards when I just copy the zip into a fresh install. Am I missing something simple?

[Vic Romano]

So I think this just became my favorite mod and here's why.  I currently have a small group of wizards living on the side of a mountain in a humble tower.  They get by without too much excess, but there is one duty that cannot go ignored.  They must constantly pull the sacred lever at the heart of their tower.  As long as they pull the lever, they know that in times of great need, their golem protector will emerge from the heart of the mountain, slaughtering their enemies before quickly retreating back to his secret home in the mountain, until the wizards are once again threatened.

Personal Favorite Fort.

This really made my day.

I'm sorry, but I have no idea.  Try reinstalling it?

Thank you for making something awesome.

Do any of the training reactions work right now?

And has anyone constructed a reactor? I've had a few towers last a fair while but have never managed to get the required parts together.
