is this the same mod that was being beta tested a while ago?

Well, I was testing my nagas earlier, but I doubt I was the only person to ever test a mod, so could you be more specific about what you mean?

i just remember someone asking people to test a naga race for them. not too important just curious.

Then yes, that would probably be me, and that would probably be this mod.  I removed pikes from the mod as per the recommendations of that thread, so that there wouldn't be problems with them one-handing two-handed weapons.

Well I don't think I've said this yet but great mod NW_Kohaku, you're a cog. Can't wait for the lamias.

Personally I actually more readily associate the term naga with snakes than I do the term lamia.  And despite the fact that I've played Frozen Throne the first thing that comes to my mind visually is "mostly normal human upper half, snake lower half" or possibly "snake with an abundance of heads," as they are in real-world religion.

Personally, I'll just rename them back to Nagas, and change their ASCII tile to an N.
That's just me, though.
Also! Since Nagas are all artsy-fartsy in this, it'd be neat if you added lore-only things, like
'a naga painting' or 'a naga molding clay into a statue', shapes, and so fourth.

Well, I can't do that just for them, I don't think.  You'd walk into a human town and see a statue of a naga painting. 

I could, however, try doing one of those special workshops like a tapestry-on-a-wall or painting-on-a-wall, or something.  Basically, an artist studio workshop, which produces paintings that get built with stone blocks in making a "workshop" that you build in the place of a wall.  You'd also have to "t" look at the workshop in order to see what was in the painting, as well.

Can you be at war with them? What I really mean is, can you interact with them diplomatically? Caravans, wars from killing caravans, diplomats, the works?

in the descripter raws you could use the gem/stone cut things and add them only to the naga to have naga shaped gems/stone cuts they use in artifacts etc, as the descripters are in the raws per civ defined. for painting i have no idea though ^^ and naga statues would spring up anywhere anyway, as its quite random and they reference various worldgen stuff. like my drow made several statues of goblin raised naga devouring elves and humans (i made them the ethnic of that of course as most naga/lamia are assoicated with luring unwary humanoids to them to go all vore on them :x)

In Western mythology, Lamia is worshipped. In Eastern mythology, the Naga is worshipped. (I worship both.) :D http://phenoca.deviantart.com/favourites/41745385/Nagas
Thanks for the mod!

Why the bump?

I don't mean to be a backseat moderator, but let sleeping threads lie.

C'mon.
