Annunaki - the most horrible thing I have ever thought of.
« on: January 07, 2011, 04:11:31 pm »

Image if you will a twelve foot tall juggernaut. It has two brains one in the upper body, and one in the lower body, It has no brain in it's head. But it's head serves a valuable purpose, as it's tongue can grasp objects.

It can use steel, and fling spears, it feels no pain and has no fear.

Did I mention it has a gas attack that rots motor nerves, and causes extreme pain?


I have begun modding this into my game and I hope it works.

Give cats natural metallic armor and throw them in your danger room.  Also allow their mouth and tail to grasp (shield in mouth, weapon in tail xD)  Have a cat based military.  You know, do the same with all tame animals xD send in the cats as shock troops to disrupt the archers

I'm not an expert but I have made a small amount of progress cribbing off the elf template, and stealing bits and pieces from other files.

But I don't know where to place a few tags, mainly [NOPAIN][EXTRAVISION][NOSTUN][NONAUSEA] [NOEXERT], these.

any help would be welcomed.

Advice for how to figure out where to place tags--search for the exact tag on the wiki, and it'll give you .txt results for creatures that have those tags in their raw.  You can then check where that creature has the tag placed, and imitate that in your raw.

In other news, the trees in my game can have invisible sex.

Perhaps I should start a wee bit smaller. I suppose making the creature before the civilization would be handy.

not sure if you can force the creatures to bring spears, but from your description it sounds like a steel colossus with a breath attack.

You can place tokens anywhere within the creature.

As long as they don't end up doing weird things with castes, of course.

I plan on them using 4 weapons. A sword, war hammer, lance, and an atlatl ( thing of a sling that throws spears)

The spears I give them will be ammo for the atlatl.

If you have a link to that steel colossus, I would much appreciate it.

You can place tokens anywhere within the creature.

Thank you for the advice.

You still can. It will just provide different results, so you SHOULD use it to your advantage, not AVOID it.

Well yeah, but I assumed there wouldn't be dimorphism. Maybe different metals, or something like that.
