What does exploding into gore exactly mean? My hand exploded into gore once and I thought I lost it, but after some time it just regenerated.
Huh. I thought exploding into gore was supposed to be Toady's version of "pulping", i.e. how you reduce undead to mush so they can't fight you anymore. The fact you regenerated from it would imply it's a bug. But I don't know how the injury of pulping is constructed, exactly.
Why do I have create new group every time I claim a new site?
I think it has to do with the way Toady structured group take overs. NPCs tend to form new organization to do everything: make war, claim sites, become bandits ect.....So the game applies that same logic to you, the human player, thinking that every time you do something new at a site, it's a new organization or group or off-shoot of something. I think it's a way for Today to keep straight who is doing what, by assigning each activity to a unique group. But from the player's side it generates a ton of groups when logically one group should be able to do a lot of things. It probably also has to do with site ownership. (My Legends Viewer is complaining a lot about sites with unclear ownership, so maybe the code gets confused when a single group owns multiple sites. Like, how does a lord of one group manage to be at two sites at once.....?) So I'm guessing Toady's solution was to make every site claim go to a new group, elect a new leader....so historical figures don't end up bein lord of 4 castles and the code goes crazy.
