We can use the current one. I like the big trees and slightly smarter dorfs.

Talvi left me another message:

I'm not entirely sure if you'll get this, but... I've kind of lost access to the Bay12 forums. It's not my connection this time (or the last time >.>) so much as that forums have been blocked. :\ I tried using an anonymizer to get around it, and Bay12 itself blocks me as a bot. I'm still working on the wiki, though... so I'm still around. And here, you and the other guys in-thread might find this mildly amusing (or worrying) for SB 2.



I decided that I would try to make a SB 2 mod using everything I could remember us putting in... and one of them were spawnified domestics. It's proving to be an interesting challenge.

I'm going to message Toady or Threetoe and see if they can get SMF2 to stop blocking Talvieno.

I don't remember that bit, but it certainly sounds.... Different. I think we'd need to make them vulnerable to head trauma though simply for balance otherwise we'd get slaughtered on the first siege they brought animals...

Yeah, the idea is that the animal!spawn will be just as fragile regarding their chest and heart.

My lack of time = my lack of catching up with this and whatever else I'm reading on everything here is very amazing.

Wish I had better organized time >_>

I meant period. Harder to kill is all well and good but animal!Spawn is a bit much to make immune to brain damage.

To balance them, there could be some kind of instability/weakness in the mutation.
Like giving AB+ blood to a O- recipient.

I mean like the animal's body does not assimilate the spawn infection completely seamlessly, and throws up something similar to an allergic reaction.

I have to pack for a canoe trip, so I will have to post the finished save sans write-up, but I will probably compose most of it in my head and post it Sunday.

I am officially scared of Skitara. She single-handedly killed three spawn. On one of them, she kicked its right upper arm (and presumably everything below) off. On another, she punched it in the heart, killing it instantly.

EDIT: Naturally, shortly afterwards, my computer crashed. Luckily, I had saved from before the ambush.
DOUBLEEDIT: This time around, she killed the exact same spawn by scratching it.
