Scorpius Race mod
« on: July 11, 2014, 01:13:58 am »

Here is my scorpion-like humanoid race the Scorpius that I've been working on for a long time (rerelease for new dwarf fortress 0.40.02 includes my blowgun mod) currently requires requires lucelle weapons and armour (drow-like race minus the spider parts add armor,extremely tough exoskeleton, and features of scorpions with painful poison). Fun race to use in the current release but currently far stronger then dwarfs (they lack bones though so a organized strike against one seems effective and stats where based on strength of stone dwarf from genesis mod. Enjoy being devoured my them if you go to war against them.

Fixed the temperature points of chasm scorpion
Halved most of the densities of my custom mats to reduce the problem of smashing things to gore.
Going to create flying supernatural warrior varient of scorpius that uses cold mist blasts but still is not finished enough to use yet

Made changes to entity file
removed underground as start biome
added new variable positions
start biomes are now only tundra and mountain (underground does not work yet for civs)
exclusive start is still the same but likely has no effect but not harmful either

currently requires requires lucelle weapons and armour

If that isn't already in the mod, you might either wish to include it or link to it.  I'm happy to try this mod, but I'm not hunting for anything else.

Playing with this mod plus standard game, Scorpius have a problem with their military: They can't make one.  They must be missing the military hierarchy in the entity raws.
EDIT: On further inspection of the entity raws, it appears there are only military squads once the fort either establishes a fortress guard or attracts the general.  So no military until midgame.

Played Scorpius on Fortress Mode, they dont wake up from sleep. I think it is due to the [NO_STUN] tag.
