Thank You!

Notes: Its finally here. A full month of work was put into the next race, the Warlocks. Heavily influenced by Dungeon Keeper, Overlord and more, you can play as evil sorcerers that animate the dead, abduct and torture people, summon demons and do all kinds of evil overmind things.

Next to no changes have been done to Dwarves, Orcs or Kobolds, besides the fixes listed in the Studded With Patches release by McTeellox. Splinterz was kind enough to alter the GUI slightly to allow toggling the new races.

In the meantime, IndigoFenix has written his own playable race: The tech-loving, nature-bound Gnomes. I did include his V.03 testversion into this release. It includes many unique features, like a merit system that measures how well you treat animals, and a fully remotecontrolled mining drill. Its very experimemtal and most things are not quite finished yet, but if you want to have a fun time by testing all this, please go ahead.   The thread can be found here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=134619.0

The Warlocks also have their own thread, which lists a daily dev log and a lot of pretty pictures: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=134395.0 I admit to slacking off on the dev log for the last couple of days, because it was mostly testing, testing and testing. Minor balancing changes here and there, and no new features. A special thanks at this point to IndigoFenix, Roses and Putnam, all of which have contributed towards this project with either raws, scripts or both.

It would be quite impossible to list all the features that the Warlock civ adds in this post, so please have a look at the manual. It includes a getting started section and lots of background information about the new features. In essence you want to kill creatures to get bones, scalps and souls, which are used to make new skeletons and to write books. At the same time you stripmine the area and throw all ores, gems and plants into shredders, to use the reagents for alchemy and spells.

Its a bit odd not to add a changelog, but its 128 buildings and 1546 reactions in the Warlock entity.

[CheatingChicken]

1546? Wow, thats quite a lot of reactions

[Meph]

And as I type this, I remember that I did leave the cheat/test reactions active in the Warlock civ. Currently re-uploading. ^^

EDIT: Updated.

[Vabalokis]

HUGE patch ! Id like video lp of warlock fortress cuz i as for myself i cant handle skeletons yearly on.

[Gamerlord]

Whooooooooooo!

[Nuttycompa]

I find some bug about summoned undead. Restless zombie and undead I raise don't attack anything, the invader don't attack them either.
The worst part is my civilian are not friendly to them (Yea I give you guy 3 souls to do nothing but scare my poor skeleton )

[Gildemoron]

Whats with these spring-reactive shields? First elves come with mithril spring-reactive shields and then goblin ambush with rusty iron ones.

[Meph]

That sounds like the civs have no access to normal shields and take any random shield from the item files. Which is odd, I did not change anything in their entities.

Nuttycompa: Are they listed as opposed to life?

[Gamerlord]

Hey Meph, where is the Pylon-making reaction?

[Meph]

In the manual ? (Necromantic Shrine, just like the monolith, skeletons and most other basic creature summoning)

Code: [Select]

   [REACTION:BUILD_PYLON]
[NAME:Build a pylon (controls skeletons)]
[BUILDING:NECROMANTIC_SHRINE:CUSTOM_P]
[REAGENT:A:1:GEM:NONE:NONE:NONE]
[REAGENT:B:1:NONE:NONE:NONE:NONE][REACTION_CLASS:SOUL]
[PRODUCT:0:1:BOULDER:NONE:INORGANIC:PYLON_SPAWN]
[SKILL:ALCHEMY]

[Gamerlord]

In the manual it said at the Soul Syphon or something.

[Meph]

Crap, you are right. I missed that.

Pylons: You might have noticed that skeletons turn opposed-to-life now and then. If they run too far from your Warlocks, you cant control them. Build a network of Pylons at the Soul Syphon NOPE; ITS SHRINE NOW to establish control across the map. More info later in the manual.

[Nuttycompa]

That sounds like the civs have no access to normal shields and take any random shield from the item files. Which is odd, I did not change anything in their entities.

Nuttycompa: Are they listed as opposed to life?

Nope they listed as Undead

[IndigoFenix]

Whats with these spring-reactive shields? First elves come with mithril spring-reactive shields and then goblin ambush with rusty iron ones.

Huh.  That's odd.
Well, don't worry... the spring-reactive shields don't actually do anything (yet).  As long as they don't show up with rocket boots or flare guns...

[Meph]

Ahh.... now I know whats up.

[ITEM_SHIELD:ITEM_SHIELD_SPRING_GNOME] is the first shield alphabetically in the raws, because item_gnomes comes before item_shield. And the civs always take the first shield in the raws, if their civ ends up with none otherwise. Even the FORCED doesnt help with that. I just have to move the shield or buckler above it.
