So. This ties into an idea I had and will eventually start work on if it's possible, but for now, I have one question. Is it possible to mod in thoughts? In other words, mod the game so that certain things cause happy or unhappy thoughts, and if so, can I alter how severe they are?

Specifically, would it be possible to make being attacked by or seeing a certain creature a trigger for a strong unhappy thought?

Thanks in advance.

if you search thoroughly enough, you can find fire temples, which you can embark on for a free lava pool.

And mineral temples. Witch are filled with minerals.

(true story, I found one myself)

*blinks* Minerals. Lava. In temples.

Thanks Armok.

So what is a temple good for?

Desecration. Next question?

I once had a cyclops list off 24 people he had killed, including several leaders. After that he stepped up to me and punched. I dodged and decapitated him with a counter strike.

most anti-climatic fight ever.

Yivu, for all his awesomeness in Legends, was also quite anti-climatic thanks to the injury. Gave into pain immediately and got hacked to bits. There was this other cyclops I sent my swordsdwarf at, though. I ran up to it, got punched into the head (which "collapsed into the body, an unrecognizable mass"), flew back 8 tiles, hit a wall and blew apart. That was kinda anti-climatic in the other direction

Am I the only one who finds the "bad luck with women" comment rather odd?

Yes and no. It's weird, but I've had giants boast that someone or the other "shattered on the anvil of their contempt", so none of those comments faze me much at this point

Well, I don't know if it's as good as burning elves, but Estrur has a dead human (Furi Eyehops, I plan to check who that was on Legends at some point) to his name.

Also, I talked to the leader, Zolak Shortdoomed (pikemaster). Turns out that Yivu the cyclops attacked almost a century ago, back in 107 (It's the 5th of Timber, 203 now) and killed 11, then ran off after losing a leg. So yes, something of a local legend, I assume. I think they might be friendly because I killed Yivu beforehand, unless Adventurer mode goblins are friendly by default. Can anyone confirm this?

Oh, and if the attack in 107 calls for screenshots, I have one.

I'll just show the image, followed by an explanation.



Yes, the Bearded Ruthlessness. Not shown: Mato Netmaligned, yet another former TBR leader, being killed by thi s cyclops. Yivu, by the way, is missing her entire right leg.

Oh, and TBR is NOT a dwarven civ. It's a goblin civ, the capitol of which is Dungeonthrowers, a dark fortress not too far away from the cave where I found Yivu. The current leader is a spearmaster goblin named Zolak Shortdoomed, who has been leader for the last 16 years. Also, according to Legends, previous leaders shown by Yivu were all pretty impressive. Stozu Jackalrag was an elite marksgoblin, Mato a hammerlord, and Nguslu Thiefbewitched was a demon. Clearly, this cyclops was awesome at some point. Still fell rather easily thanks to giving in to pain all the time, though.

Anyway, thought I'd share that, if only for the civ name. Any suggestions as to what to do with them?

Bonus points for using glass windows.

Also, a shorter term (potentially) for mini-mega project: kiloproject. Just an idea
