This recent Dev Blog excites me!

"Evil that spread now fades away over many years if there's no new activity in the region. The primordial evil areas don't fade. Certain demons can now spread evil from their towers (or disaster forts), and the properties of the evil areas are related to the spheres of the demon. That is, a blight demon might kill vegetation, while a deformity demon can spread evil creature populations and wormy eyeball grass and so forth. "

With that part of the blog mentioned above, will there be tags related to the ability for demons to spread their evil from their towers/forts? Like a tag that allows/disallows a demons that controls a specific, and custom Dark Fortress using Race from spreading evil?


And with these new "abilities", does that mean theres more to play with for custom secrets?

Depends on how "bug"ish of a civ you mean I guess.. Mine has a humanoid grasshopper creature evil civ.

Adding [SITE_CONTROLLABLE] and the necessary noble positions should do the job, I think.

This. Also keep in mind these things (for any playable race+new modded ones, ect):

- What natural Products can they make/use?
- do they have the same reactions as dwarfs or just the reactions you need?
- do they have all of permitted jobs/reactions available?
- Will they require alcohol? (if no, then underground water, river, lake or some substitute will be needed)
- Do they have the correct weapons, cloths, armor, tools, ect available?

Hope this gist helped!

Good News!? I think.

So in my world, As humans, after about 3 years, a actual halmet showed up.. at first I thought it was a already exsisting halmet, but I double checked from a screenshot I took and it wasn't their.. looked at legends mode and its brand spanking new, and instantly economically linked to me.. Yay I can get baron then? Well sadly I will refuse if I get offered because I made this Military Civ to take out another evil 1 that was destroying 2 Civs.. We beat them and took over their dark fortress.. but upon checking the new hamlet.. 4 of the settlers from the team I sent north to conqour and occupy that dark fortress.. now live in the halmet..

Checked the legends mode for the dark fortress and it doesn't say they were re-takin over by the enemy... im so confused..

but I guess this is another way to get economically linked Civs? Will keep a watch on it.

Currently unsure when the next vanilla update will be out, but as it stands, if the update is not out by April 1st, I will release the update on this mod here. Currently still doing a longplay test, and only found 1 minor issue I need to fix, but other than that, everything seems gold.

[SITE_CONTROLLABLE] is now the tag.

Yes, they have exactly the same, in fact, im currently going through positions now to fix anything I missed with others pertaining to Forest Retreat and dark pit/fortress civs. But besides that, all but 1 Town/Halmet Civs have basically the exact same positions as dwarves.
