New episode is best episode. Shame there's not much obvious mod material apart from the various new plants/foodstuffs. Cherry ents? Cherrychangas? Pony-driven trade caravans?
Pinkie Pie looses a roaring laughter, fell and terrible!We also have a "canon" eye color for pony demonic rage/martial trance/moods now.
Well, I've got one idea:
[COLOR:DERPY]
[NAME:derpy]
[RGB:112:128:144]
To be added as an eye colour. True, it'll result in the odd pony that likes the colour derpy, and maybe even derpy demons, but that just makes it cooler.
Chimichangas as a new food type? Maybe I'll bump muffins down to level 2, have level 3 split between chimichangas and pies. Fitting for both meals introduced in Wild West episodes to be in the same tier.
Cherry ents, deffo. Will need a new reaction for sorting bushels into red and yellow(Hell, they were doing the reaction in the episode). Might see about making it a quern/millstone reaction to simulate the conveyor belt. I'll have to think of a suitable red gem for the royal cherry ent. Amber and topaz aren't in the same league as rubies.
Love those sprites, Technojock. One point, tanks are blue skinned with rainbow shells: That's why Rainbow Dash was worried about looking like one in Art of the Dress, according to my head canon. I'll have a look at those language files later, but would you mind me folding them into the main mod? Oh, and the torture for fun thing is a reference the pranking like jaxy said. It also makes worldgen more fun.
For languages, the name for sacred flying buffalo comes from the Lakota name for the Thunderbird, so that might be a language to look at, just use the base words. Yes, it won't make much sense, but most languages don't once DF's gotten a hold of them, English is quite weird to take to it as well as it does. That or find a random word generator and feed it a Native American ruleset.
For other pony kinds, I've sort of got it into my head that cave ponies speak Icelandic, mostly inspired by the Scandinavia and the World comics, like
this one. Playing around with lava, living right on the hellmouth, sounds like the dwarf ponies.
Thinking back, in Sisterhooves Social, the poster for the event said "Sihovi Ivciovcno" or something like that. At the time we started wondering if that meant the pony language should sound Slavic and have English portmanteaus. If the idea of regular ponies speaking Russian or similar isn't popular, then diomedians speaking it would be a nice reference to Glitterglen, where they speak Nadsat(That reminds me, I stopped trying to keep up with whatever the funk was going on in that thread a few months back, I should have another look some time).
For Rainbows, just mixing up the languages for the other groups makes most sense.
Been working on a little add-on the last couple of days, that badger mod I mentioned a while back. I've added various real types of badgers, sand badgers, anakumas, ferret badger, hog badgers, black and speckled honey badgers, tayas, and some crazy made-up ones, wooly badgers, grizzly badgers(One test fort had "ere the grizzly badgers get hungry" in the embark message), cave badgers, silky badgers, tiger badgers(based on the honey badger, orange with black stripes on top, black with orange stripes everywhere else) and a fun little addition down in the depths. I'm gonna release it separately, after I've gotten the various giant, man and pony variants sorted. Should only be a couple of days, unless this sneezing is the start of something awful.
