More magic.

More summons.

More encounters.

More civs.

Usable Mognet.

More loot! (Loot's already in for some monsters.)

Nothing, your mod's epic as it is right now.

That makes sense, sorry about that. I have seen some random events that are pretty great involving the content Elf has already given us, like an Alexander who formed a cult and went to war dozens of times over a hundred years with a kill count in the hundreds/thousands. I think the random element is what I like most about DF.

Sadly I can't code those. The only man capable of even trawling through the code is Toady.. D:
Oh well, currently I'm planning out the Bio encounter, as well as adding in the WEAPONs. Water will also be available through encounters next update, so now you should be able to use Bio and Water potions.
Out of curiosity, anyone think I should put in either the Gestahl Empire or Sephiroth (Safer-Sepiroth as a Megabeast)?

[ShadowBroker]

id perfer the Empire. never really saw eye to eye with sephy and his legion of fans >.>

I'm enjoying playing the mod,  Your addition of inorganic magic is very well done as well.  Have you considered using MATERIAL_FORCE_MULTIPLIER in the creature raws to make certain magic more or less effective against certain monsters?  I know it doesn't affect the syndromes, but it could work for an earth based attack.  I apologize, but I still haven't gotten frog drop to work right.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Good idea, I'll probably have to make a load of new materials for the non-earth/bio attacks, and fire can't use it, so I guess [FIREIMMUNE_SUPER] will have to do. Nice suggestion though, will use it in my Persona mod, if I can get the material resistance to work.

I prefer to see the Empire. They can be fleshed out better than just Seph of any form. Plus, who doesn't want to be their own form of Kefka when playing as them? Plus, forts designed around Vector's design would actually render well, and pretty awesomely in DF. Especially that whole minecart sequence as you escape from there. Cages also make great Esper containment fields when extracting magic from them.

You read my mind there. Indeed, in a future update, there will be the ability to 'butcher' espers for magicite.

Would they do a 100% conversion into magicite, however (no parts extracted from conversion, like they do in-game)? You can use a regular butcher shop to make meat out of them, but a conversion chamber to turn them into 100% magicite (the kind you can learn from, and spread teachings to others). Of course, I think the conversion tubes would have to require raw crystal glass or something to make one. Maybe 3 ray crystal glass, in order to make one, and would be 5x5 in size, since they are big and complex looking.

Alternatively, you can use those conversion chambers to "milk" the magic out of them or something. Since they didn't kill them outright, although it did take some of their life force out of them. It's not until espers are killed/dead that they convert into magicite; if I recall correctly.

Right, it seems Sephiroth is unpopular. I had a rummage around on the interwebs, and you're right, Sephiroth has too many fan girls and misaimed praise. He's officially on the nope list.

Kefka, on the other hand, might come in as a mega.

[Putnam]

I like to never put anything on the "nope" list. Just an "extremely low priority" list.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Eh, agree to disagree here?

[Putnam]

Hehe, okay

(why do periods make me look so serious god damn

is it my avatar)

Instead of making either one creatures in their own right, maybe make an 'godhood' secret that will give people the power to... well, attain godhood.  Give them phenomenal cosmic powers and the ability to turn into a multi-winged angel.  If you give them necromancy too, they'll even build towers.  I'd advise against making the secret teachable though, unless you want to deal with a tower full of the things.

The ultimate challenge. Fighting through a tower of Kefkas.

Multiple towers of Kefka. So many "Lights of Judgement".

I think the world died by year 1, several times over.

EDIT:
Just came across this.

Some background music to help you out.
