Glitched [SPOILER] Fortress
« on: February 13, 2011, 11:59:53 am »

UNSPOILERED SPOILERS IN THIS THREAD!

So, I embarked on an unaligned savage oceanside. My game has a half-dozen mods, including Fort Defense, some dragons, and Minotaur as a playable race. Immediately after unpausing, I am told that a cave-in has happened underground. The unit list shows some very unusual monsters.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Yes, those are undead demons.
Knowing the identity of this phenomenon, a quick check yielded five weapons at my fortress, one of which was an *Adamantine Scimitar.* Running DFhack's Reveal tool yielded some very interesting results.
These are the pictures of the Demonic Fortress. The two-z-level fortress open to the pits of Hell. Filled with swarms of undead demons even before the pits of Hell have been opened. There are ten pages of undead monstrosities down there.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Also note that instead of glowing floors, there is empty space in the floor of the room housing the weapon. There is a single tile of glowing floor right above a staircase that leads downwards.

Anyway, my guess is that defeating the forces of Hell will be a bit more difficult than usual. After unpausing, the number of demons that showed up brought the number of evil creatures down there to eighteen full pages, along with a skeletal Draltha hanging out in the caverns.
Anyone know what is going on here?

Do any of your mods include non-hell demons?  Hell demons are randomly generated infinite creatures, but if you added a custom creature by the name of "demon" then it also has a "zombie demon" and "skeletal demon" variant by default.

No, none of the mods have demons in them. Those are indeed actual zombie demons.

I don't care how you do it, you need to kill them all, claim your sword, and see where that staircase goes.

Your first pic isn't popping up.

Either way, that's insane. How are zombie/skeletal creatures made, anyways? Just something that the game spawns using the RAWs?

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

The area inside a demonic fortresses is automatically declared an evil biome, and there's nothing in demonic raws that says organic demons can't be undead.  So undead demons are as likely to spawn (or possibly more so) as undead anything else if they're in a demonic fortress -- or, coincidentally, under an evil biome.

Actually, only the top levels (the sword level and above) are declared evil. The catch is that here the top is where the bottom should be.

I know. I did, but when I open the spoiler, nothing appears. I quoted him, and copy-pasted the URL.

He used this line:

And nothing appears. (Minus the / that appears in the front, that was to make the line appear)

Problem would be the slash after the .png and that is the link to the imageshack page, not the actual image as above which is http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/254/undeaddemon.png
