What about an invadeable vampire race?

They strictly live in the caverns, but when they explore outside, they burn up!  I think this could be used by checking if the unit is "outside".  Which would mean a cavern layer exposed to outside air would qualify...

update: having them become upset from being outside could be ebough if no otger option is available

Okay, I think I got it.  Is this right?

One thing I'm not sure of

   [CE_CAN_DO_INTERACTION:PROB:100:START:3000:END:406200]

I have two of them, I'm not sure if I need to remove one

2. Make the interaction impart a syndrome that is the flu, all with a PROB of 100

How do I do this?

I'm looking at the syndromes in the interaction files, i'm not sure how I can get one syndrome to beget another.  That is the key to 60% of my questions.

Please understand, i'm a complete noob with syndromes (hence why I was asking for specific raw examples).  If I could see how a (complete) syndrome calls an empty (completed) syndrome, that would help a lot.

Update, I think I might have it
"[CDI:INTERACTION:INFLUENZA_PROB_INNER]"
called by [INTERACTION:INFLUENZA_PROBABILITY]

ok. im starting to get it now.

what do you mean by resistable a few posts up?

why cant recuperation affect syndrome length?  if its dfhack i should be able to call up a check on a dwarfs attribute value and maybe apply a medicine to syndrome cure a disease early and rely on the incubation period ending to give me a 1 year immumity afterwards.

1st.  I have no idea how to do any of that Putnam, but I do appreciate the input, as maybe someone else who has more syndrome experience can give me specific raw examples.

2nd.  I had a better idea than mutable diseases.  Rather than having to code the chance of mutation as well as the new modified disease.  I thought instead, why not just have the dwarf immune to the disease for a set period of time.  Say a year.  Generally in real world experience.  Diseases mutate from year to year (although, I hear as one gets older, they are less likely to get colds as they may have had the variety already, but there are no colds in this game, it's pneumonia, flu, and meningitis, which I do believe do mutate yearly).

So it would make perfect sense to just make the dwarf immune until next sick season.  This I think would be a lot easier, you could just have the syndrome's affects only occur during a certain (incubation) period, while after the incubation period is over, the dwarf has the sickness, or has a new syndrome that show's he's immune to whatever sickness he had before (like yearly_immune_pneumonia syndrome).

here's some ideas on diseases.

First and foremost, dwarf's have two attributes THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED when implementing diseases... RECUPERATION and DISEASE RESISTANCE... these two alone could have a factor on limiting diseases below their current level.

but the other considerations I pondered are here

update: since stockpiles can't be limited to dwarfs (although workshops can). it makes it hard to ensure only certain rewards get access to meds (and what's the point micromanaging  locking a dwarf in his room to ensure he takes his anti stroke meds then following up so u can release him to work a little bit then have to repeat b4 his meds wear off)?

I was thinking medicine could offer an immunity to catching the syndrome... wait I think that's how I works... if so then it behoofs a player not to restrict his medicine stockpile.

BUT... to make the anti stroke meds easier to target dwarfs. a workshop like a pharmacy or even the current apothecary could prescribe meds to workshop profile dwarfs.

btw you guys...

I have a new version out.

This doesn't really have any improvements that mw 4 brings to the table (other than updated leather globs for more leather mod, and some updated values for wood/stone blocks to furniture).

I hope to do a few merges of a few mw items (remember, this is not a comprehensive mw merge.  Forget that... it's just a few items I liked that I wanted in civmwforge).
