While I am deciding weather or not to implement that, I also want to implement "Cultist", either necromancer style things that can turn into lovcraftian monsters or vampire type monsters that can transform into lovecraftian monsters. Maybe both.

I do hope to get some more realistic things back in track, I just wanted to add a hint of fantasy before this mod went and got to realistic on us.

Why can't you get it to do correct damage?

It is mostly a balancing thing. What I currently have is strong enough to kill a dwarf, and it even works like I want against tanks, but against things like helicopters and bombers I can't get it to act right.

The only way that I know of doing it is to give them a sword as part of their body and then have an extra butcher item that is the sword.

Already have the sword body part, though thanks for the suggestion. It is juts that sword body parts can't block and I can't get it to do the damage I want... Thanks anyway.

I've noticed that thieves and babysnatchers will only use weapons in their entity that have [SKILL:DAGGER].

That sounds about right, thanks. Now to see if this works with ranged weapons.

I am also planning a bunch of small updates coming up. I gave the dwarves some new flavor cloths to make the feel a little closer, since what is a dwarf without useless junk? I am also giving the rest of the nations kevlar, since I overlooked that earlier. I am adding a bunch for the civilians, a new "construction workshop" that will make 6 blocks from one stone or piece of wood in order to keep with the theme of the game. I also want to add artificial leather, as well as a way to make leather items in the factory. I hope to add some things to the farm, like improved cooking systems and more efficient "farm cows", "farm pigs", "farm chickens" that are more the equivalent to our modern farm animals, with a little less food requirement and a little more food output, so you might end up actually using them. I might add some new plant crops as well.

Since all this might make getting food and such too easy, I might also consider adding some new high-burrowing vermin that can eat your food if your not careful, and maybe some kind of pesticide to keep them away.

Yes, it works on non-vermin.

You send your army in with swords? I just use the crossbows, with plenty of the boosts from it I don't see why you wouldn't use ranged weapons. Don't really go underground myself, it works fine against the above ground people...

I have all the stuff for the Neko transformation ready, if I decide to implement it. At the moment, you will be able to transform cats by killing a relatively common enemy I made called the "Tsukumogami", just keeping with the theme of the transformation. The enemy is a living candy sword, and will still pose a threat to soldiers if you go about getting them the wrong way. A tank can kill them without much risk, if your willing to spend a little to kill them. Once you kill them, they will drop a "Tomb of Cats" which you will then be able to take to a 1 by 1 workshop "strange alter". You then put the cat you want to transform next to it, have a dwarf do the ceremony, and your cat should transform into a usable dwarf. It has a 1/4 chance of using up the tomb, so you might be able to use it multiple times, though it will not last forever to keep you from farming cats and making an army. Then you have to go kill more enemies.

Though that is if I decide to implement it, if it is used improperly it might end up being a bad thing...
