Hm, it seems a lot of these have to do with stealth. According to this "survey" and an enjoyable read through TV Tropes's Artificial Stupidity page, it seems that video game characters don't like stealth much. Interesting, maybe the robot apocalypse won't be so terrifying.

I'd add some new stupidity, but my most recent worlds have been buggy or human-deprived.

Ah, I see, you think vampires should have a tendancy towards being discreet, and that other personality traits should weigh in heavily...sensible.

It's all hardcoded.

Savages' Stronghold, version 0.21, has been released! It has blood hulks, minotaurs, and no shovils. Oh, and I modified some of the ogrish language--just the stuff within the first little bit, before I grew sick of it.

The annoying legends-crashing-when-vieweing-historical-figures bug is still present. A demon wrote First The Book, a book about a flying-squirrel-man-leather-bound book named Setrub Frostconfused, which was written in a "thoroughly mechanical" style and bound in blood-magik (the stuff you get when you sacrifice an ogre). (Setrub Frostconfused was  one of the demon's first books, and was a "rigid and quite cruel" autobiography. Weirdo.) I wonder if we'll be seeing book bindings vaporise and turn necromancers into blood hulks any time soon? The same demon wrote "The Artifact: Fact or Fiction?," a thornback-ray-leather book which was mechanical AND cruel in describing Dentedstubble: Before and After, which was "as vicious as can be" and bound in tsavorite. This guy was a harsh self-critic. Other notable books by the same author concerned death, including one bound in bogeyman leather and one bound in "eyeless monster" leather. Cool, no?

I'd share other neat tales from worldgen, but it seems to keep collapsing (with no errorlog!), so I'd appreciate it if someone would glance in the raws (especially creature_ogre, especially at the blood hulk) to see if they can see any obvious issues. Wait a sec, maybe it's the language crap?

I upgraded; maybe the crashing was a problem with my "copy" of DF or something having to do with a bug that got fixed. Hopefully. I know I said I'd upload a new version before changing, but I'm adding a minotaur civ first.

Flying Dice: Hm, maybe that could work...

Jilladilla: No, but it steals babies. Does that change anything?

It's alright to ramble on. I ramble all of the time. Whenever my brain gets working, it overthinks stuff, and I like to write all of tha out. Both of these points go double for DF suggestions and such.

Back on topic, this seems like a decent idea, although the title scared me. Another idea: Maybe megabeasts could come to mutually beneficial agreements with civs--say, a dragon offers to help protect a mountainhome from invading goblins in exchange for food, gold, shelter, and not getting killed by the dwarves.

I understand if you want to leave me to develop my mod in peace, but if no one else posts responses to my ideas, I tend to assume tha no one cares, which hurts my feelings...*sniff.*

Anyways, on a different topic, as soon as I get my blood hulks working and add in the neat process by which they are made, then probably tinker around some, I'll release the next version and update to DF 0.34.07.
