I vote "Battle-Fail-Cannon 1.5"

And I could get behind the dwarf-castes idea I guess...  Maybe each player adds a new one at the end of their turn, not announcing what it is exactly (nothing too complicated so we know it doesnt, y'know, totally break the game) and we excuse the bizarre migrants trickling in as the poor hapless results of Demon Queen Leds horrific sorcerous experiments?

If we get enough people to agree with this, I may start this this very turn

I have some crazy stuff (read: FUN) lined up for the next fort in the series. I vote we abstain from doing this until Battlefailed III.

Also, dibs on starting Battlefailed III.

I'm also leaving a trap for whomever comes next.

Every successor has done that. It's called Failcannon.

Well, yes, but this one may end up destroying the fort.

My statement is still valid.

Yet? We need to trash this one first. For he multiverse to crumble, and all that jazz.
If we can't kill the dwarves by normal means, we trash the FCN tower, that is being used as a some sort of psychic shield, and then let all modding hell break loose.
You heard it, Deathsword?
GET WORKING xD

-saw your edit- Oh, I see! Demented minds think alike xD

Edit: whoops! Quote fixed

[Mego]

Demented minds think alike xD

This is why Bay12-ers get along.

You misquoted in your post. I said that, not CP.

... dwarf ... megabeast.

You're a freaking genius! I'll make the sentient races into mega or semi-megabeasts as legendary/champion fighters with weapons. If only you could force them to have armor as well... well, aside from modding in a metal covering to various body parts and naming it like armor, but then people would complain that they don't drop any usable armor... Oh well. Fear your fellow adventurers!

Edit Aaand.... now I will have nightmares about this.  Thanks Eric.

... keeping it just barely alive, like a young woman in my sexy torture dungeon.

You're welcome

Genius. You both. Now I WANT to see that in action.

As soon as we find out if it's possible to mod castes into a running game we'll have to decide wheter to do it or not. If yes, off to work we go.

[Urist Imiknorris]

I posted a thread in modding about that. We'll see what happens.

[Mego]

I have Eric's re-genned Aluorna up. If I had any idea how to mess with castes, I'd try it.

EDIT: My friend just had an awesome idea. Two words:

Hostile cats.

[Eric Blank]

UltraValican's test provides data on that... too bad it crashes. I was more expecting it to simply not work.

Now, if we made 50 identical castes pre-generation and THEN modified one/turn during the game... Might be worth testing.

   Also, can do on the adventurers-as-megabeasts. Should they have "armor" bodyparts anyway?
   If they wouldn't replace other wildlife in their biomes, I'd make 'wild' ones that ambush you like any predatory beast. You're already getting attacked by plenty of military patrols anyway, most likely. It would be wonderful if there were a tag that implies that a certain creature isn't a member of a biome as a species and thus doesn't replace other natural species there, but can randomly be encountered in the biomes in it's definition anyway, as part of an overarching wandering population that also is not a mega/semi-megabeast or civilization member.
   I once encountered a biome that was nothing but dragonkin from my mod; woody wyverns and dragonmen as herd animals, and lesser dragons and yeric wyverns as predators. I certainly never intended for that to happen, and wish that previously described tag existed and would permit them to exist in the way I desire.


Err, in the process of writing up the first adventurer definition, I realized they need their own speech file like that of minotaurs, so here's what I have so far:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Code: [Select]

You are nothing compared to me!
I have slain far worse than you with but a flick of my wrists!
So you believe you will ever prove a more formidable warrior than I? Hah!
When I was your age, we strangled dragons with our bare hands, and knocked colossi' heads off with fluffy wamblers!
My kill count is over nine thousand!
You thought Obok Meatgod was evil and powerful?! Hah! He was but a child for MY amusement.
I have seen the world through my immortality, and your demise at my hands through my dreams.
I am the only true god of war!
My companions are DEAD. How do you THINK I feel?
You wonder how I came to reside here? Well, after being exiled for killing the last punk like you, I took my current home over the corpse of a terrible beast!
...and that's the story of how I came to know Cacame Awemedinade. And coinicidentally how I came into a position to kill him.
You must worship Lur Thiefwitch to be so jealous of a title you cannot possibly hope to take from me!
They sent another peasant to fight me? Come on, did I actually wipe out the entire military of BOTH nations?
You are no demigod. You are but a miserable sack of fat to be tortured at my leisure!


A new-line break signifies the end of each one. Any others I should add/remove to make them both intimidating and humorous personalities?

[Mego]

Make references to Andreus the Undying.

[CatalystParadox]

This was my initial meaning, actually.

Make references to Andreus the Undying.

Also make reference to seeing the horrors of Boatmurdered and living to tell about it. (also: I have slain the mighty Elephant/carp/badger?)

[Ieb]

I'm pretty sure that megabeast dorfs wouldn't actually be hostile.
Unfortunately. They ARE a part of your civ after all.

Then again I might be wrong. I haven't ever actually tried it out, you see.

[ThatAussieGuy]

All this aside, what's going on in Failcannon at the moment?  Any word from Deathsword?
