****PREVIEW FOR CORROSION MOD****
The Corrosion MOd created by IT 000 Seems to offer a lot and looks very inticing with it's zombie hordes and post-apocalyptic world.
The reason I am reviewing this mod to begin with was because of these main points .... I LOVE ZOMBIES lol
Anyways let's get to the point, my initial review - based solely on my own opinions based off of what I have seen on the forums. The mod looks incredibly fun but difficult to play, may even be a challenge for the toughest of DF vets out there.
The Mod is based in an alternate world where humans tried to create a pill that cured aging, however there where dire consequences, the people who took the pill turned into monsters - mostly known as zombies. Now the survivers have to fend for themselves and fight of these hordes of monsters, that seem to never end and keep coming to kill every non-infested human.
The Thread itself is very active, not so much as of late however, but there seems to be a lot of activity and there always seems to be someone there to help if you are needing some. IT has, in the past, been incredibly active and does try to make sure he keeps the mod patched and removing bugs etc. Also he does try to update the game so the graphics look a little better, he created his own graphics pack for this mod.
****PREVIEW FOR MY LITTLE PONY****
To start I do NOT care for My Little Pony sorry to all those who do.
Now that that is out of the way. Let's talk about the this mod, well what can I say other than it is a mod based on the cartoon series "My Little Pony" or MLP by some.
So far from what I have seen on the threads about this mod it looks incredibly active and popular. Which in turn means there will be a lot of help for people wanting to know more about the mod and such.
The Modder Nidokoenig seems pretty kind as they are always active on the thread and they did reply back to me when I asked them if I could LP and Review the mod and within a day Nido had already replied saying yes ^_^. This I always find pretty good in a modder.
NEW POST****PREVIEW RATINGS FOR CORROSION MOD****
Thread Activity - 8/10 - The thread is very active, maybe not as active as mods like genesis mod or fortress defense mod but still
Modders Percieved Kindness - 8/10 - IT seems to be incredibly kind and will try to answer any questions asked of him and he also tries to get rid of every single bug he can
Update Time Periods - 7/10 - There are a lot of updates for this mod, whether or not that is a good thing is a personal opinion, but IT does seem to try to keep the mod updated as often as possible, unless he goes AWOL lol
Lore - 8/10 - There is a specific lore for this mod which makes it a lot more "fun" to play as it immerses u more into the actual mod.
Originality - 8/10 - There are not many mods out there based specificaly on a zombie apocyplypse ^_^. Also not many modders make their own graphics pack for their mod.
Overal - 8/10 - Overal this mod looks incredible, there are a lot of things in this mod that look fun to use and seperate it from the others mods. Also the difficulty is very inticing
****PREVIEW RATINGS FOR MLP MOD****
Thread Activity - 10/10 - This mod always seems to be in the top 2 pages of the Mods Forums. Which makes it incredibly active
Modders Percieved Kindness - 8/10 - From What I know Nido is pretty kind but I havent reakkt had much time to converse with Nido
Update Time Periods - N/A - I am unsure as to how often this mod is updated. There isnt really much of an opportunity to know on the threads
Lore - N/A - I have no idea about the lore of the MLP so I cant make a guess at the lore of this mod
Originality - 8/10 - I do not know of another Mod that is based of a cartoon series as of yet. There are lots of mods based of games etc however. But the mod does include a lot of things that are like other mods e.g. including new weapons, creatures etc.
Overal - 7/10 - Since I cannot tell a few things from the thread like the update rate etc. So I cant make a full assesment of the mods thread sorry Nido.
NEW POST****FIRST FORT REVIEW FOR CORROSION MOD***
This Mod is Incredibly difficult. I couldnt mine into the mountain too far as everytime I actually hit a rock my miners would get gassed and killed
. So I couldn't use any stone to build things like mechanisms lol
.
I did however really enjoy it even if I didnt last all that long lol
, like less than a year
. But it was fun since I am starting to find Dwarf Fortress and most mods pretty simple, yes even Genesis Mod.
Another reason this mod is so difficult is because weapons are really difficuly to make and you have to wait untill you get your first traders before you really get any "decent" weapons and armor, since "coke" and "metals" are not easy to get to as mining is dangerous heehee.
But now to get to the point. What does this mod have to offer the players of Dwarf Fortress? Well as mentioned before it is incredibly challenging, if u can get past the lack of graphics, making it in my opinion one of the best mods out there. It also adds new weapons and brand new ways of creating weapons, e.g. wooden axes cannot be made at the carpenters workshop - can make it annoying if you want to start with the bare minimum
. There are also strengths and weaknesses to certain weapons for example some creatures may only be able to get killed by melee weapons - due to melee weapons normally being stronger in general than ranged - but that means getting close to the enemy, and they are normally pretty damned strong and tough
The mod will be even tougher once the new Dwarf Fortress update comes out heehee ^_^ and trust me it will be FUN!!!!!!!
Now for bugs, well there weren't many bugs tbh, but then again I aint all that great at looking for bugs lol. The only bugs I found was dwarf therapist not working with this mod all that well and sometimes the game completely crashes when creating a world
.
And how is the corrosion mod community? Well I think they are great, whenever someone is having trouble people are quick to reply and help. Some may even be willing to upload a pre-installed version of the mod, that way you dont have to actually do the whole moving of files yourself, good for lazy people - like me lol. Other people even look for ways to advance the mod and add extra things into and give IT 000 the RAWS so he can add it and he normally does ^_^
***FIRST FOR REVIEW FOR MLP MOD***
N/A FOR NOW
NEW POST***FIRST FOR REVIEW RATINGS FOR CORROSION MOD***
Originality - 9/10 - The diffuclty factor makes this mod incredibly original, that and adding in a specific lore to this mod ^_^
Difficulty - 10/10 - Easily the MOST difficult mod I have EVER played for DF to date. There is so many thngs in this mod that can kill your "humans" without the player even "trying" to kill their humans lol
Bugs - 7/10 - There were some bugs in this mod, however there were not a lot which made the game great and easy to play. But more teasting needs to be done to be certain
Playability - 8/10 - This mod may be a bit too difficulty to play a lot of times tbh. I may still prefer playing the genesis mod over this due to the fact I can actually survive longer than a year lol
Graphics - 6/10 - The integrated Graphics in this mod still seems incomplete since a lot of it is still ASCII graphics but there are still some graphics that have been designed specifacally for this mod by the modder
Overal - 8/10 - One of the best mods out there, especially for players who are starting to find Dwarf Fortress a little "too" easy, sometimes I do - untill I played this mod lol. But there is a lot to offer even the newer players but this mod is definately more for the "experienced" Dwarf Fortress players.
