Wait, imagine this. A long corridor floored by a retracting bridge. Under the bridge are grates, and below them is a room with many disease workshops, gas machines, if you will. Goblins enter the corridor and are trapped. The dwarves below spawn syndrome gas and then swiftly evacuate as the bridge is opened. The gas rises up and infects the gobbos it reaches. The infected gobbos become monsters before dying and infect the other gobbos not affected by the gas. As the enemy panics, the gates are opened, and the siege flees back into the ranks of the healthy goblins, infecting them as well.

I'm not sure if gas rises Z levels. Also, your dwarves are guaranteed to be infected unless they are immune to the syndrome, given that evaporation will be instantaneous (In fact, due to the fast dissipation, you'll want to bridge open as the gas is being made).

Otherwise, it's an interesting concept with many variations (I use gas chambers with fortifications, as they can't be destroyed by building destroyers, leaving crossbow goblins as the only risk).

On a topic completely unrelated to the various zombie-movie references and such, I hope that kobolds will be toxic in 31.26.

You know, in homage to NetHack.

Will X-Com's incredibly annoying Chrysalids be available next release? :D

An X-Com themed mod - ohohohohohohhohohohhooo! I might do this. All we'd need really is aliens in different castes.

I think polymorph potions are perfect.

Am I the only one whose first thought was to create a Dwarven version of Blade and become a Goblin-Vampire Hunter?

Dear lord, what if you gave Goblins a poisonous bite that turns those they bite into goblins? 0_O Goblin zombie apocalypse! AAaaaahhh!

 You could finally get a Nymph race to work. Through various interactions, a poor Nymph is converted into a Satyr.

What's most exciting to me is the ability to change a creature into another creature with a syndrome.  Did anyone else think Anvil of the Void (DA:O)?

This. Would certainly allow me to continue working on my mod, since i've stopped because the main enemy creature corrupts people, changing them into the creature, sorta like the Darkspawn lol.

On the subject of the Dragon Age mod, it would also allow for turning anyone who ingests Darkspawn blood into Ghouls. Hell, make females who get tainted grow into Broodmothers, if they survive. Making them give birth only to certain types of Darkspawn (Dwarven Broodmothers give birth to Genlocks, Elven Broodmothers give birth to Shrieks, Qunari Broodmothers give birth to Ogres, and Human Broodmothers give birth to Hurlocks) might take another release or two after the next one, since AFAIK that sorta capability won't be in the next release.

Centration. Similar to Spacestation 13, but in 3D and first-person. Sounds damn awesome.
