Goblin Civ and Blizzard Men
« on: January 29, 2018, 08:38:50 pm »

I was looking at a few worlds I gen'd and a rather interesting goblin Civ came up
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I post this as I saw no mention of this on the wiki. What happened??

Animal men can migrate into civs

But not Blizzard men.

Blizzard men are like trolls. Legends Viewer calls them animal people by mistake (ends in -men)

As Shonai_Dweller said, goblins can pick up Blizzard Men as slow learner brute force fighters in the same manner they can "recruit" trolls and ogres, provided they're available to the goblins (i.e. a Glacier biome is available to the goblin civ when it spawns).

Legends Viewer does not read raws, and so has no way of actually telling which creatures are animal people and which are not, so it uses the approximation of assuming everything ending in -men is an animal people race (so blood men, etc. would end up in the animal people section, should they somehow be present), and this also causes Gorlaks not to be listed there.

Ah thanks, I did not know that's what the slow learner tag allowed them to do, didn't know they were like trolls. I thought it might have been uncontrollable breeding haha

Now that's a nice concept. Do any of the current legends utils feature a raws scan? Simple(?) way of figuring out if something is an evil 'slow_learner' race or an 'animal-man' type of creature capable of civilizing. Also if a civ's initial race is "goblin" or actually "goblin and orc 40/60".
