You mean draltha ponies. Gorlaks are small, have two grasping tusks and do various fiddly jobs that require finesse. Oddly enough, Dralthas are the largest non-noble cast.

"slaps self" And this is why I dont try to think as my ponies as differing castes, because of mix-ups like this! My Legendary miner unicorn named "Rarity" laughs at you petty caste system! Muhahaahaha!

I cooked a test world for dream valley ponies, checking legends I have a Smooze nicknamed "the accidental fog" whose initial lair was "wandermurk, the messianic sewers."  forgot to assign spheres to the things, so sheer luck I got something vaugely appropriate.

Huh. Nice. So, how exactly did you handle the Shuggoth Smooze, anyway? Is it a big blob with a smashing attack, or did you find a way to somehow make the beasti flat?

Also, do Dream vally ponies have a bunch of extra graspers ( From what little I have seen, they where on the very far end of the antromorphic side, at least with megan around.)?

Would a horse be like, the pony equivulent of a chimp? And a Camel the local Gorilla one? Just wanting to know if my currant zebras are eating the local flavor of bushmeat.

Don't be scared, I've only just converted 100% dorf into pony form, it's beautiful I tell you, BEAUTIFUL!

Though I see they might still need some tinkering, they arn't perfect yet.

But at least I'm playing them as I'm writing this, they work, they actually work!!

Oh, postitpostitpostit!

Also, the secondary modding mass is getting rather large. We have 'nid ponies, wasteland ponies, the now-intergrated lion ponies,dinosaur ponies, and eventualy we will be getting dream and flutters as well, along with Fort ponies. We need a list on the front page, Nido. ;D

Fortress ponies are definably not meant to be in Nido's mod (they are far to tiny as they are the same size as dwarfs) but you may have them if you want.

I'll try to post them though am not sure how.

PS: I'm just a dolt with apparently to much time, all credit goes to the makers of the game and nido. It's a freaking miracle this thing doesn't kill itself.

EDIT: I have no idea what is going on with the first file, don't know if I can fix it.

PPS: THIS IS NOT COMPATABLE WITH NIDO's MOD!!! Do not replace any files!!!!!

EDIT: AARG!! I have no idea what is wrong with that first spoiler, it just doesn't WANT to work. Let me know it you have problems copy/paste it.

it's kind of sluglike, with it's few vital organs well-protected.

As for the ponies themselves, they're pretty much standard, other than the population ratios, and lack of Royal caste. tried fiddling with proportions a bit, but it didn't seem to make much difference, at least in the few arena tests I ran while testing other things.

I hope this works better.

A link to download my little piece of 'work'.
http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=5228

Everyone feel free to use it anyway you want.

I can't recommend using it with nido's mod, dwarf sized pony's probably don't stack up to the task.

Nidokoenig if you rather have me take this crap elsewhere I'd understand, just say so if you do.

Nah, I like them! Actualy, there not that bad vs. ponys. They just need to be well armed.


Also, I just had a interesting encounter with a Ursa. Mostly, I was unaware that they had another coat color besides starry, and that it wiped out my entire zebra military like they where made of molded plasic. Seeing as it was, according to legends, the last remaning ursa on the planet (A female, with a dead cub killed by some twit of a griffon who was promptly killed in some random raid), it seems rather interteresting that I got the one bear with eclipse hair in the entire world to wipe out my zebra fort.

Why do I keep invisoning Hoofington?!

I have no idea if armor even works on them.

Their body proportions are off from dwarf even though their size is the same so there could be some severe problems with that.

Worst case, you'll ahve to produce armour locally.   Reminds me, I need to add tail bows once my test run concludes.

You know what's interesting?

I just tried out (with cheating reactions, of course) making armour with different castes in my dinosaur mode (where the sizes range from 50 kg to 3 tons). It's all one size fits all with local armour, which is VERY interesting.

It's fine, it's relevant enough and it keeps the thread bumped.


 Currently working on truffles. I'm making them as valuable as sun berries, since they're produced one at a time, and making them brewable and extractable to barrels. I'm calling the extract truffle oil for now, though I'm wondering if mushroom ketchup or jam might not be better, given that real truffle oil is just olive oil with artificial flavouring.
 I'm looking at other animals that it might be nice to have producing truffles, though they'll be producing different ones to what the pigs do for variety. Warthogs are an obvious one(I'll add milk, cheese and butter to them, too), and bears have a strong enough sense of smell for it to make sense, as do badgers and honey badgers, and dogs are good for it as well. Reindeer are known for sniffing out lichens. For underground critters, giant moles should be able to do it, and since dralthas and rutherers aren't going to be edible for most ponies after they get [CAN_SPEAK] I'll make them trufflers, and probably make them shearable. Since the flavour text states that dralthas eat tower caps, when I do fodder I'll make some types of logs convertible into cheap fodder, probably limited to tower caps, fungiwood, conjured plump helmets and conjured clownsbane.

Wait. So you'll be able to farm plump helmets, turn them into wood, then turn that wood into food again? Plantception!

Need some input.
Apparently, the last caste's body detal plan that determines materials overrides all the others. Or something like that. This leads to:
-all normal Nidokoenig's ponies now have zergchitin bones (the last declared caste being the added blade pony)
-all Dark Voice creatures (including tyraponies which should have the tyranid plan, and the Hybrids) have the zerg_materials body detail plan (the last declared caste being the infested pony)

How to fix this?

Ursas could be able to find a "star cap mushroom". Just because I just want a excuse to post a 2001 video every time its mentioned (My gods, its full of stars! "Bites down on mushroom" I can see forever!"Also, the excuse to create some sort of super-valuble 'moon wine' and enjoy all the new migrants because of my newfound wealth. It could also expand the plant_pony_megabeast folder a bit. :P Not sure how it would do in world gen, however, considering that ursa minors are uncommon already.

Huh. While testing the T Rexes, I have found what they can do againts the roster of megabeasts.

T-rex vs. Ursa. Five on Five. Ursa lose, but not without taking down a t-rex. All t-rexes are injured, at least one of which was crippled with a spinal injury.

T-rex vs. Roc. Two rounds of five-on-five. Rocs win both times, without any losses, or injurys for that matter.  :o Obviusly, a T-rex is mearly a grounded roc with teeth. And smaller claws.

T-rex vs. Elephant:five on five. Rexes win without much issue.

T-rex vs. Unarmed Alliosaur: Five on five. T-rexes win, but lose one member to a ripped throat a few seconed after the last alliosaur is killed. Looking at the CR shows that to have been a very lucky attack. Do over has T-rex winning.

T-rex vs. Hydra. Hydra is simply too big for it too actualy kill with one attack, and goes on knawing at it for a good few minutes until the rex dies after having a arm bitten off, and giving in to pain. Which then lets the hydra cherry tap it in return, exept it does it with seven heads. Same thing with Five-on five.

T-rex vs. Dragon. Again, a mit hard for the rex to compet with. Gets burnt to a crisp if there is more than one dragon, but even then is going to bleed out even if its five vs. one.


T-rex vs. Trojon: Tie. The rex gets nearly everything broken and the Trojon becomes utterly smashed to pieces, but the bite is too weak to actualy kill it. Five on five shows the same results.

Ursa major pony: Much like the Roc, these guy overpower the poor creatures for some reason. They are bigger than ursas, and they can overpower there namesake,so I guess we can chalk it up to the shear power of a hoof the size of a small house.
