Title: (-47.xx-) Miscellaneous Video Games Mod! (0.4)

Adds in six races from video games, with the majority half from Minecraft as of the time of writing, a couple critters, a metal and a gemstone. These civs are:

Villagers: Everyone's favorite bald traders from Minecraft. They arrive to trade in the winter, and have iron golems they can use against you, should you raid them. And hopefully, if I didn't screw up, you can buy the iron golems from them. They now have figured out the art of advanced smithing and have developed Testifium, a mystical alloy of iron and special emeralds, that the Villagers use for only weapons and ammunition. It's a little denser than iron, a bit more resistant to heat, and twice as sharp.

Illagers: The gray-skinned outcast villagers we all know and may hate. They may invade relatively well-off fortresses at any season, and they bring ravagers, their weird cow mounts, during raids. However, there is a chance peace may be achieved, in which they'll be your source for evil animals. Illagers also have an Evokerblood caste that summons in Vexes.

Piglins: Denizens of the Nether who were actually introduced a day ago or so, at the time of writing. They are early-game thieves who come about in summer and winter, who can also ambush and besiege the fortresses. They have Hoglins, one of their primary sources of food as pets.

Miis: Somewhat short and cheerful abstract humanoids who live practically anywhere. They come to early forts to trade in the summer and they bare many kinds of animals. In Adventure mode, they're the perfect size to wear both human-size (70k) and dwarf/goblin/elf-size (60k) armor.

Fighting Polygons: Human-sized crystalline warriors who once took many forms, but have now stabilized into their current form. They'll show up to well off forts to either trade or try and pick fights in winter. They learn the ways of melee combat, as well as unarmed combat skills, much faster than other races, so they make for excellent combat-oriented adventurers.

Pac-People: Round yellow people with large mouths. They'll show up to decently sized forts in the spring, bearing similar goods to humans, in case you'd prefer shipments of metals over elvish wooden goods. Nothing to quite write home about in adventure mode (yet.)

FUTURE RACES:
*EarthBound's Tenda, complete with tamed dinosaurs!
*The inferior counterparts to the Miis, the Xbox Avatars!   

CANIDIDATES FOR FUTURE RACES:
*The little guys from Patapon, maybe?
*The Echidnas from Sonic? (Game-based, not Archie-based, and significantly more Knuckles Clan than Nocturnus Clan)

CHANGELOG
0.4: Fighting Polygons and Pac-People civs added, Villagers gained Testifium, wild folk have begun implementation with Dream Penguins (Dedede's folk), a couple Subspace themed creatures have been added to evil biomes, blocky emeralds added to the underground.
0.3: Miscellaneous Video Game Civs is now compatible with the Villains update. an "Evokerblood" caste has added to Illagers.
0.2: Miis got some vaguely Miitopia inspired weapons, and Piglin Beasts have been renamed to Hoglins!
0.1: Initial release!

PLANS
*Make Pac-People be able to sense ghostly figures and more dark themed creatures.

CREDITS
*Toady One and Threetoe/Tarn and Zach Adams for making Dwarf Fortress.
*Nintendo for the Miis, Fighting Polygons, King Dedede, and the Subspace creatures!
*Mojang (and technically Microsoft) for the Villagers, Illagers, and Piglins, as well as mobs associated with them.
*Namco Bandai for the Pac-People!

This is the mod I didn’t know I would need. Seriously, what other mod allows you to literally play as Matt from the Wii Sports.

Seriously though, keep it up Asin!  :D

Anyway, any sort of things you would like to see added or what not to these four civs?

This is probably a bit minor but would it be possible to make an emerald-like metal and have it so only Villagers (and maybe Illagers) would be able to create it? Maybe even make it one of their currency metals.
Also Miis with sports equipment for weapons. Yes.

If you are looking for ideas for new civs I had an idea for a Animal Crossing-esc one, with different castes for each animal, each with different personalities, and the ‘monarch’ of it being a human Mayor who has complete, utter control.

My suggestion for additions; more civilizations (and maybe creatures) from games and series too small to really see their own overhaul mod! But thats just my suggestion idea.

I suppose I could do an emerald like metal the Villagers somehow managed to make.

Miis with sports equipment, eh? What sorts of sports equipment would make for a good weapon?

Bats, maybe a tennis racket ‘launcher’ weapon that lets Miis fire tennis balls at their enemies, cricket bat maybe, boxing gloves as a ‘striker’ weapon, golf clubs, hockey sticks, basketballs as a throwing weapon, a canoe paddle, bowling balls as another “””””””””””””throwing“”””””””””””” weapon.

That’s all I could think of off the top of my head.

Oh, protective gear like football helmets, baseball helmets, cleats, shoulder pads, catchers mask and vest as armor.

That could work out, I think. I may also add in some weapons inspired by Miitopia to an extent for the Miis

Man, I didn't even think about MiiTopia. That'll be a goldmine of items for sure!
Honestly, any Mii game could bring fun ideas to mind.

Hello again. So... Besides the potential of adding in a Smash themed civ, is there anything else you guys would like?
Title: Re: (-44.xx-) Miscellaneous Video Games Civs Mod!
Post by: BluealienDio on December 16, 2019, 06:37:38 pm
This might sound like a weird idea, but a Don't Starve themed civ.

You got all the tools, weapons, and armors from the game alongside castes based off of the characters from the game (a scientist caste based off of Wilson, a woodcutter caste based off of Woody, etc.)

The Villains update has come, and with it comes an update for this mod! The civilizations are now capable of taking advantage of the new features the Villains update offers! The Illagers got a bit more and now we have a pair of "Evokerblood" castes (male and female) for them. I went with "Evokerblood" because I may end up making an Evoker secret eventually, to let all the races get the summony goodness!

Personally ive been thinking about learning to create my own creatures and civs so I can add a creature akin to the Varl from the Banner Saga series.
These big humanoids stand twice as tall as humans and have horns of Bovinae.
They tend to stick together but can be very stubborn and impatient, especially towards other races.
In many ways they are like dwarves, having big beards and a fondness for alcohol, however they don't seem to value craftmanship very much.
They live for hundreds of years if not killed in battle. Varls cannot naturally reproduce since they are all male, instead they were created by a single god.

I would want an animal crossing themed one with villagers, animals, and such
Title: Re: (-47.xx-) Miscellaneous Video Games Mod! (0.4)
Post by: Asin on July 17, 2020, 11:03:08 pm
The 0.4 update has been completed! Fighting Polygons and Pac-People civs have been added, Villagers gained Testifium (a fancy and mystical alloy of special emeralds and iron), a couple Subspace themed creatures have been added to evil biomes, blocky emeralds (the special emeralds of note) added to the underground.

Also, wild video game folk have begun implementation with Dream Penguins (Dedede's folk)! Yes, now you can play as a greedy blue penguin and beat a dragon's face in with your hammer, if you so choose.

Well, I do not desire to mod in SCP creatures. You'll have to find someone else to do work with.

So, I suggest creatures for this mod. From Fallen London and Sunless Sea. Rubbery Men, Starved Men, Curators, Devils, Fingerkings, Lamplighter Bees, Snuffers, Moon-Misers, Sorrow Spiders, Clay Men, Rattus Faber, Megalops, Stone Pigs, Frost Moth and Flukes.

Sadly not. Realized I could not do them justice nor even remotely make them remotely similar to how they are in game, so yeah... ^^;

Any who, in other news, I have decided on the next races to be added into the game.

The Tenda of EarthBound, and the counterpart to the Miis, the Xbox Avatars.

Only question is... in what ways would you differentiate a civ of Avatars from a civ of Miis?
Title: Re: (-47.xx-) Miscellaneous Video Games Mod! (0.4)
Post by: delphonso on November 09, 2020, 11:25:24 pm
By costumes, I guess.

Also Miis seem friendly with Tomodachi Life. XBox avatars are just about those sweet cheeves.

Maybe Avatars have more clothing options and might be more prone to more vain pursuits? Something like the elves of creatable console avatars?

EDIT: Also, I am considering other ideas for more civs and "wild folk", with one idea in particular being the Echidnas of Sonic.

Whats about simpler suggestion? You can add Hobo, vehicles, demons, demonic creatures, SWAT, angels and aliens from games Hobo 1-7.
