Would like some verification withe the CRAZED tag as well...it won't make them go batshit stabby against everyone? When I tried it in arena mode, they still just stood there looking at each other...just angrier and scarier looking (and probably mouth foaming) I guess.

How immortal is this creature? I may make an interaction to become one or may make it an evil curse, with your permission of course.
You can mess with it as you wish. You can make it tougher by making its tissue out of different materials or making it's thickness higher, as well as just plain increasing its natural skill set. Also forgot to put the PRONE_TO_RAGE tag to make it angrier (and stronger) often.

But as with inorganic creatures...healing from a damaged state needs more specific modding.

Gave 'em silver armor and is basically empty aside from some left over goo from.....past users. Also lack some "personal appeal" stuff, like lair hunting text and such...there's also other versions in Masterwork and several other mods I think so do check them out (they might be better made too).

body modifiers/color modifers: no? (some modders had crashes on viewing a transformed creature because color descriptors "eyes where blue, but new eyes are red" DF gets confused crashes)
Oooh, so that's why. Sometimes some my familiars tend to do that.

DF Adventure Mode Discussion / Re: Duel Wielding, Does it Make a Difference?
« on: May 20, 2012, 09:12:21 pm »
the more you know:
http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Attributes
And knowing is half the battle!

Friendly reminder: becoming a Vampire will give you several boosts but since you will no longer gain or rust physical attributes, that will be your limit. So max out those muscles before becoming undead.

ONTOPIC: As many have said, dual wielding 2 weapons of different damage types can be quite handy to dish out the necessary pain on certain targets.

Some good ol' magic buffs to make things more fun & interesting:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
There are still limitations but it can still give interesting results like:
Dorf/Elf size creature throwing a Troll like a potato sack

Extra Note: I guess a Healing/Regeneration spell is possible without turning to a different creature with:
[CE_PHYS_ATT_CHANGE:RECUPERATION:20000:0:START:0:END:50]
Making the values higher will just make you heal faster but won't really stop the burning blood soaked pain immediately (maybe add some numbing syndrome too)...

DF General Discussion / Re: Awesome findings in Legends Mode
« on: May 18, 2012, 02:24:09 am »
Very interesting tale. I don't remember reading in Legends Mode that Werebeasts actually attack each other (Or is it in the latest version? Or I just haven't seen anything as "notable" in mine).

I guess you could say that the most prolific werecurse is also the weakest/wussiest since the attacker/s were unable to finish the job and it just spread out more.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Merchants giving birth?!
« on: May 16, 2012, 07:52:00 am »
This either never happened before or it's quite rare...so for future reference, it may be beneficial to simply let them be and observe the test subje samples "Odd Merchants" and report back results of this sudden unforseen yet interesting incident.

A road full of war, laughter and debauchery....Rance's path is chuck full of those three.

Speaking of animated movies...just finished watching Macross Frontier - Wings of Goodbye. It's been a while since I went through different versions of "...what...", "WHAT?!?", "WTF!" watching something. I found the intergalactic war with bug aliens, space dogfights, laser and missile spam light show while 2 songstress perform in the background quite enjoyable (different plotline aside that has a curiously similiar theme with the latest Gundam movie). Oh, and the love triangle is finally resolved...

Some preview pics of the stuff I liked:

Huh...I take a vacation at the beach for a few days and I seemed to have missed a lot shenanigans.

Anywho, I always see everyone as their avatar...It's just that for every poster, sometimes I get some dubbed in voiceover of what they wrote...you know, in a good day. When the voices would leave me alone...

For example, I just read Jackrabbits post as voiced by Sean Connery...like:
Quote from: Jackrabbit on May 06, 2012, 06:06:54 am
Cor Blimey! Jesus, we are both old, old people ol' chap. And I'm still a bloody kid.
...with the mental image of his avatar with a monocle having tea and crumpets.
