I assume you know about this but you can stack curses of the same kind provided you profane temples. I made a foul blendec who has become a spirit bender3 times.

Also are vampiric dragons supposed to have a really sucky weight limit? I can't carry anything in my normal form without dropping down to 0,099 speed.
Sorry for spamming questions for you guys, I just really like the mod.

The Spirit Bender curse is missing the tags that restrict it from being repeatedly applied, so thank you for letting me know.

The vampiric dragon curse should not effect your humanoid body, but it makes me wonder if you are transforming back into an adult body or not. Was this your Greater Foul Blend character?

-Please do not think twice about asking questions or reporting any issues you are having.

Are some of the races immune to certain strains of vampirism? I've chopped off the arms of a vampire lord and let him bite my dark elf a lot but I can't seem to become a vampire.

Currently, there is no way to become a Vampire Lord or Ancient/Monster Vampire. They are effectively mega-beasts. The most powerful vampire a player can become is a Master Vampire.

oh looks like who ever made the adventure reactions Took out the vanilla stone axe crafting...

Mmm. I do see the vanilla stone axe crafting reactions in the "reaction_other" raws.

It was mostly dwarves who vandalized, with one human and one goblin. I recorded 20 individual instances, the vandals would take out all instruments and statues on the map, my hammerer would dispense justice, then maybe a couple of in game days after punishment, they would do it again. However, there were other visitors that came that didn't vandalize, I believe 2/3 behaved. But there was always constantly one on the map tearing things down. Sorry for the long winded answer

I strongly suspect they are cursed or evil magic users of some sort. Could be a bad neighborhood I suppose. I will look into this further before releasing [v33].

Does this have playable elves? Is that why it's called rise of the dark elf?

Dark Elves are a non-playable evil civilization. But playable adventurers. They are one of the more powerful humanoid races now.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I was leaning in the direction of adding them as a playable civ at some point. They are in better shape for playing right now than any other evil race, but untested, no unique buildings or job tiles, and you would need to add the [CIV_CONTROLLABLE] tag.

wait they're powerful? darn I really should have dip into them instead of trying to figure out a way to retire this reanimator oh well maybe next update.

Basically a mixture of Rangers and Rogues, with a silver weakness. A necromancer or vampire Dark Elf could be quite dangerous.

Really enjoying the mod, btw - first Old One had me shitting myself!

Is it normal that Legendary Dwarf visitors to my tavern/temple keep knocking down all my statues, archery targets and instruments??

Hey I'm having a huge problem with visitors coming in and toppling my statues and instruments (at least so far that's all they have toppled). I've shown them the !!DOOR!! but more come and more continue to do the same. Can I stop this, is it a bug, or what? BTW they will go out of their way to do so, even outside locations.

Roughly what percentage of your visitors are vandals? It sounds like they are mischievous. Which can happen due to secrets, curses, or evil weather. Let me know what type of creatures are doing this. It may be interesting to read the trouble makers bio and histories.

oh hey time to see if it's possible to be a massive evil mofo outsider and Still be able to retire in Dark ages.
probably not but it hopes to be optimistic...
you probably should change the wood requirement from battleaxe to sharp object if one thinks about keeping the axe to wood interaction.

Sounds fun. I will take a look at changing that to sharp object.

Hey I generally love this mod but I have a few questions:
1. Are there any ways to try and reduce the chance of crashes when generating worlds?
2. Is there any way to speed up or bypass the generation when trying to generate the 'year 999,999' world. I doubt there is but I'd like to try it out and have never gotten all the way because I've given up and it takes forever.

Nevertheless I love the mod and all the extra stuff it adds, keep up the great work.

Thank you!

1) Mmm. For release [v32] I have had very few world gen problems using the default Ironhand tileset in the Start Pack. Even fewer using the stand alone ASCII version. I recommend that you gen worlds using default Ironhand in the Start Pack if you haven't been. If you have, try downloading the ASCII stand alone version to generate your worlds then move your saves to the Start Pack for tileset switching.

2) A super fast single processor CPU or virtual machine will help speed things along to 999,999. You could also set it to run before sleep time. I do plan to post some old worlds I've generated eventually.
