I got it into my head "HMMMMMMM! Megabeasts have a hard time surviving world gen... it would appear that the only way to solve this dilemma would be to make them STRAWNGUR! Oh wait, what if their is another Sowlushion? perhaps... MOAR MEGABEASTZ!"

And so i've begun my idea to add more megabeasts, many more, each greater and more fearsome than the last. Here is what i've come up with so far.

Fat Demon, like the regular demon, except fat. They were too big to fit into the HFS, so the other demons kicked them out.

the evil skull, an evil magic skull that shoots fireballs. it only has one body part and a size of one, but it moves extremely fast and has a DAMBLOCK of 30:

Diamond demon, a demon the size of a human, and only has a bite and punch attack. Oh yeah, he also has a DAMBLOCK of 200 and drops a clear diamond on death.

HELL CAT! requested by woose! the hell cat is not like an ordinary kitteh! it's on fire! it's fast! it flies! it shoots fireballs! it has a bite attack that does 1000-6000 damage! fortunately, it has a DAMBLOCK of -100, so one hit will probably kill it.

GIANT ENEMY CRAB! it lurks oceans and rivers! it prowls both land and water! it's size 30 and it shoots fire balls! It uses the same body tokens as a gcs! it also has [SEVERONBREAKS] so it's limbs can be chopped off with some luck!


BRAIN DEMON! requested by jack_bread! has 50 brains and 1 mouth! no other body parts! I'm not sure if that will work, but it's worth a try!


EPIC CAVE SPIDER! just like the giant cave spider! except it's size 100! 10x the normal size! it also has CAN_LEARN! watch out! Take note though, this is the first of my creations that doesn't have TRAPAVOID!

MEGA FLEA! 2nd request by woose! it's a flea! it's size three! it has a DAMBLOCK of 75 and some vicious attacks! including a blood sucking attack! it's pretty well rounded, so gang up on it!

STAY PUFT MARSHMALLOW MAN! size 200! only one weakness: Bill Murray! Oh yeah, and it has -10 DAMBLOCK cause it's made of marshmallow, and it's really slow, and it isn't immune to fire and magma.

CREEPY BABY! the third of woose's requests! this baby is size two! this baby has only 1 DAMBLOCK! This baby has 1000 Appendages! Appendages that act like natural armor! i'm not sure if that's possible! oh yeah, and it has some nasty COLD attacks!

ADAMANTOISE! this infamous FF creature makes it's way into DF! is size 40! has 30 DAMBLOCK! Is amphibious! it's weaknesses include it's INCREDIBLY slow rate of movement, with SPEED at 9000 (not over it) it may take all season for it to reach your fort. It also isn't immune to fire or magma, like some others!

FLUFFY BUNNY! this creature... just read! If you doubt it, you'll be sorry!

PWNY! a specific request from Ririka! It flies! it shoots fireballs! it has a deadly paralyzing poison that never wears off! It has the same anatomy of a regular horse though.

currently imagining more.

and by more, i mean MOAR!

EDIT: I'M APPARENTLY DOING REQUESTS!

Oh dear lord, I think we have the plot for Ocean's 14.

They'll steal this in Ocean's 15 of course.

Ok NASA, stop fucking around. We gotta get the fuck up there!

19: How old I am

I'm honestly surprised that Linthar has survived for as long as he has.

seconded, an option to type in what you want to see (trade depot style), would be very useful.

I have something of a story from my youth, and to this day no one i've told it to believes me.

When i was 8 or 9, my grandma owned a giant fridge-sized freezer. Right next to the freezer was a giant pile of clothes. Seeking fun, i climbed ontop of the clothes and got ontop of the freezer. Out from behind the freezer crawled the biggest damn spider i've ever saw or ever will see. This thing was the size of a dinner plate, i swear! When it crawled closer to me, i got so scared i jumped off the freezer (something very out of character for me) and ran to get my cousin, who was much bigger and stronger than me. When we got back up their, we couldn't find the spider anywhere, and so everyone believes i just made it up.

goddamnit, why is it that no one sees the simplest and best answer? Just to it like they do in Rollercoaster Tycoon where you can make "one-way signs"!

set up the sign, tell it which direction dwarves are allowed to walk through, VOILA! You have your traffic designation, except now much more simplified.

Hey, can anyone give me alittle world genning advice? I've been screwing around trying to get a location as similar to Jack's as i can.

I'm trying to gen a pocket world, i decreased the number of races to 3 (and with some luck i'll only get dwarves, humans, and maybe elves, and thus avoiding pesky goblins and kobolds that will divert my attention) I decreased rainfall to about 2-3 (as opposed to 100), squealched ALL good and evil squares to allow for more civ safe habitats. I seriously ramped up the "middle elevation" stat, and i set a minimum number of deserts that i expect.

My problems are many fold:

When i tell my pocket world to have alot of deserts, it throws a fit and doesn't gen a world at all.

When i decrease the minimum number so it stops spazzing out on me, it only produces a small miniscule number of deserts.

When i decrease rainfall even more so that their is less vegetation and more deserts, it either throws a fit or it doesn't spawn a river at all.

with some luck i got a river going through the only two squares of deserts. Unfortunately, the ENTIRE desert was sitting on top of an aquifer. I simply can't work with that.
