Elephant nation!

(1/1)

Pwned dwarf:
I would be enjoyed if someone made a elephant nation that ethnics collided with dwarf ethnics so there would be war, but still have ethnics that made them animal life and at peace with elves. Give them the [skulking] tag so they don't trade. If possible add a elephant caste that is the same in every way except it can fly (dumbo), please make this rare

StagnantSoul:
This wouldn't be that hard. Copy an animal people ethics, add in the elephant body shape, but give them a unique head/body or whatever, giving them grasping trunks. Shields being non-native for them, along with ranged weapons. Make a caste that uses another unique body, with wings on the head, or maybe just a flier gate added in, if that works without wings.

Something like this might work

--- Code: ---[BODY:DUMBO_WINGS]
[BP:R_EAR:right ear:STP][CONTYPE:HEAD][RIGHT][FLIER][HEAR][CATEGORY:EAR]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:250]
[BP:L_EAR:left ear:STP][CONTYPE:HEAD][LEFT][FLIER][HEAR][CATEGORY:EAR]
[DEFAULT_RELSIZE:250]

--- End code ---
and use those in place of the ears for the flying castes (and give those castes a [FLIER] tag as well).

Be careful when defining different bodies for differed castes.  It might be best to leave the ears out of the main body plan, and add just the appropriate ears in a BODY token inside each caste.

Or you could simply give all of them the flying ears, and give only the flying caste the [FLIER] tag.
