Yeah, I don't know what program reads .dat files, and was hoping someone could copy paste the stuff about werewolves (or any variant) here, with the assumption that its formatted similarly to the RAW files (i know the werecurse exists in INTERACTION EXAMPLES and by putting that into the raw folders, i could make it work, but i need to know what the creatures used in dwarf fortress have for their files, so i can make an accurate replica)

I plan on combining, and modifying as needed, the three interaction examples for the above, into one thing, and then figuring out a trigger for it.

Do not forget the crippling flaw of vampires, they are stat locked, their physical attributes CAN'T go up, so you might wanna hold off on that till you are stronger, and THEN become an invincible death machine.

Lets see.. My endurance sword human stood there killing them until the morning.

Another cool one was my lasher: losing all My followers when I was traveling over mountains, I was following the mountaintop killing the few who got in my way, avoiding the rest. Got to a chasm with a natural strech of stone across it, I had no choice but to go for it. Half way across I ran into a dead end. The other half of the natural bridge was 2 tiles away from me through open air.. I looks back, and observe the horde flooding towards me. I faught heroically until dodging off into thin air! And fell over 40 z levels, narrowly missing spike of stone, and other natural bridges.

BAM, I nailed a 4x3 of 7/7 water at the bottom. I crawl out, and looks up. It was raining bogeymen, they were smashing into the merciless stones around me, some even hitting the natural spikes above me, Bodies shattering.. Not one made it into the tiny pond that had saved me. I had lost my way, But I escaped the mountains 3 days later, finding new followers, on a new adventure.

And thus occurs the great migration of the "bogey-lemmings" quite a gory sight, and dangerous to those below.

Followed by a singing of "It's raining (bogey) men! Halleluja!"

Creating a creature that's completely and totally unkillable and then finding it difficult to kill isn't exactly unforseen.

Even masterwork? How does quality affect weapons?

Master Quality adds a to-hit/to-block multiplier to weapons and gives them the maximum sharpness possible for the material, armor gets a deflection bonus.

Well see, what was unforseen was them being immune to damage from EACH OTHER, and filling out all the megabeast population resulting in no other megabeasts.

In retrospect it seems obvious, but at the time I didn't realize that. Additionally, I have since removed the megabeast tag from them, so I can fight rocs and stuff.


So we have found a weakness? about time, but can it kill them?

You fought a "dust throwing diety"...nice...(im assuming thats a worshipped forgotten beast) i got two blob monster titans made of snow in the same world...ugh...


We must test other potential methods of getting killed as one/killing one. So it seems we have "steel arrows" as a potential method of death, if only through sustained fire.

Someone try a steel ammo ballista.

Yeah, in my experience, the arrows all bounce off harmlessly, like shooting superman with bullets...except one time i actually PUNCHED a bolt out of the air as it flew at me. Never encountered someone who had access to STEEL arrows though, so that might be it...or maybe they critical hit you...idk...we must test this, for !!Science!!

Battle a full grown (1000 year old) dragon.

At the bottom of the entity file, add
[ENTITY:MEGA_BEAST]
   [CREATURE:COLOSSUS_ADAMANTINE]
   [INDIV_CONTROLLABLE]
^these spaces there, by the way, is supposed to be a TAB key, but the thing is this thing won't accept tab, so i just put spaces for the sake of looking more correct, make sure you replace all the spaces before the brackets with a single TAB each, which is probably your problem.

I would, but I don't know how, and also disabled the innate necromancy powers, after noticing my enemies/allies using it on my fallen enemies, and after realizing it causes MASSIVE LAG when your army gets too big.

Trying to outrun the zombie army = hard
