Yay

Nay

[ZM5]

Released another bugfix involving the transformations - some of them would slow to a crawl when holding anything, that shouldn't happen now.

[cesarjunior233]

How to play as medusa ??

[ZM5]

They're megabeasts, so not possible.

[pikachu17]

Add [OUTSIDER_CONTROLLABLE] to the medusa's raws.

[ZM5]

Well yeah, that'd work, you'd just have everything be hostile to you since they're still megas.

[pikachu17]

Megas are automatically hostile? I though Toady had to add Large_predator to them at some point?

[ZM5]

Its definitely the megabeast token - IIRC a lot of animal people in vanilla have LARGE_PREDATOR but aren't hostile.

[ZM5]

Released a small update - adds Dire Orcs and Trolls, though right now, aside from Dire Pale Orcs, you wont see them in the wild. Its groundwork for the next version, where the appropriate types will be pets to their own civs.

However, even now you can become one if you're an orc or a troll - I added some minor alchemy reactions for adventure mode, with the help of Hugo the Dwarf.

You can make three potions right now - Anti-Magic potion, Brew of Strength, and Volatile Brew of Strength. Anti-magic potion's function is obvious; brew of strength provides a long-term strength  and endurance buff; volatile brew of strength provides an even bigger buff to those, however at the end of the duration it causes drowsiness - on top of that, it transforms orcs and trolls that consume it into their Dire counterparts.

Dire Orcs/Trolls all have berserker rage, and are much stronger and larger than their original versions - however they are less agile, and also have slower learning rate for skills.

The recipes for those are all simple enough. The brew of strength requires a firebloom leaf and a golden lotus seed - the volatile brew requires those plus a cinderbloom leaf and a cinderbloom seed. Meanwhile the anti-magic potion requires any meat, any bone, and any drink-producing fruit. All also require an empty waterskin or flask.

I did minor changes to some existing plants and their products - to make them still relevant, mage's wine and Lichwine both provide attribute buffs when you drink them, on top of magic immunity - mage's wine increases endurance and focus, whereas lichwine increases toughness and focus. Felweave clothing also is now immune to heat or cold damage.

Lastly, I changed the Sayaadi a bit to be more like their Warlock pet counterparts - for one, instead of the lusty stare that just caused positive moodlets, they have Seduction, which has a 15% chance of driving a creature berserk, induces arousal and makes them more lust prone, while also cutting willpower and focus in half. Also causes erratic behavior but thats a more fort-mode only thing.

On top of that, their nails are capable of causing more harm now, due to being sharper, and they have a new attack - a slow but painful rake attack with their nails - its supposed to simulate the Lash of Pain ability. Here, it causes additional pain and bleeding to the target, and also any attacks against them have their force and potential damage increased fivefold.

Hope you guys enjoy it for now, can't wait for the next update so I can start making mechanical beings!

[Hugo_The_Dwarf]

Why wait to make mechanical beings? They're super fun to make

[ZM5]

I am doing some basic work on them, actually! However, I'm not releasing them yet since they wouldn't actually be present at all in the game world aside from engravings. Would be more than a tad odd for machines to just pop up in the wild. The next version should alleviate that though with entity-specific pets.

[ZM5]

I released a really minor update - mostly just tying up stuff I haven't done before, so I can focus on making things immediately compatible once the new version comes out.

I've added throwing hammers to dark dwarves and (if you're using the full pack) regular dwarves - I also changed the soldier profession names for succubi and the female-only mythological creatures - they're now weapon maidens and weapon ladies.

Lastly, I removed the [POWER] token from all megas that had them - I won't actually bring it back until Toady fixes megabeasts being immediately hostile even when they're civ leaders.

[ZM5]

So, Blizzard announced a new expansion pack - sure has some interesting stuff.

Spoiler: Some images and concept art (click to show/hide)

Drust Shaman

Tortollans (I know they were in Hearthstone before - this is their first actual WoW appearance though)

Female Blood Trolls

Male Blood Troll

Sea Hag/Harridan.

Sethrak

Witches - they apparently use an evil form of druidic magic called "death magic". Digging the "classic hag" look.

Currently unnamed - looks to be some kind of construct made by the witches in Kul Tiras.

Another wicker construct - giant humanoid.

Yet another one - looks to be normal humanoid-sized though.

No idea - it could be another wicker construct, but it also has what appear to be fleshy parts. Could just be a Kul Tiran equivalent to a treant.

Some kind of guardian spirit wearing Troll armor.

Skeletrolls and what looks like an undead, armored dire troll.

Brontosaurus-looking dino. Notice its size compared to the Devilsaur.

Some kind of pet creature for the Blood Trolls - makes me think of a beak dog, only less "beak" and more "terrifying gaping maw".

Some sand-crawler insectoid - in other shots its used as a mount by the Sethrak.

I'll add those in once the names and lore are available (also once the npc names are available so I can actually generate proper languages) - don't know wheter the witches will be like "animal people" or a mono-gendered hostile civ (with their wickerman-esque constructs as unique civ pets).

I admit its somewhat unfortunate since in terms of races, I already had the elementals (water, fire, earth, air) planned, as well as a "faction" race that'd consist of Twilight's Hammer-esque elemental cultists (a few basic castes to represent initiate cultists, ogres and orcs with actual magic power, the elemental ascendants, something to represent Cho'galls model, and the Elementium Monstrosity boss. Oh well. I am making things more modular so if you think its too much you'll be able to delete whichever races you dont want.

That's gonna be on top of the non-"civilized" elementals I'm gonna add. However thats still a bit away - I wanna focus on some other stuff first, but that's gonna be only once Toady releases the new version.

I already have the new mechanical constructs prepared for it, for now most of them are dummied out, but they'll actually exist in the world once the civ pet tokens are available.

Got some extra stuff done as well - mostly some different non-megabeast dragon types that'll also be used for civ pets (though they will pop up in the wild in specific areas) - also 3 megabeasts in the "construct" vein - Stone and Metal Golems for the DD pack, and the Clockwork Giant for the Warcraft pack.

I also added Infinite Draconians as a race - they'll be hostile in fort mode as tier 4 invaders. Forsaken will also become a playable fort mode race - first time doing new buildings and adding new reactions to have a gimmick for a race, so it'll be somewhat awkward, but I hope you guys will enjoy it once the new version comes out.

[ZM5]

Another small preview of what I'm working on in preparation for the next version:

To any people who played vanilla WoW, this should sound familiar - if not, well, you're in for a treat.

[ZM5]

Compatibility update, and with it, I added quite a lot of new creatures, particularly unique pets to various races.

Spoiler: New Warcraft constructs! (click to show/hide)

Battle Golem - used by dwarves and dark dwarves - a resistant melee hitter.

Siege Golem - a ranged version of the above - shoots cannonballs with both of its "hands".

Armor Golem - a metallic golem, used by dwarves and dark dwarves. Smaller, but even more resistant.

Crowd Pummeler - a gnomish mech - small, but sturdy.

Arcane Nullifier - alternate version of the above - immune to magic, can bestow anti-magic barriers on its allies.

Steam Armor - large mech, will be mounted by gnomes. Powerful melee attacker.

Arcane Titan - a combination of the Steam Armor and Arcane Nullifier - immune to magic, can protect two allies at once with anti-magic barriers.

Spider-tank - a mount used by the gnomes. Pacifies enemies with its machine gun.

Flying Machine - a flying mount. Has a pair of machine guns for attacking land creatures.

Gyrocopter - a flying mount - only has a single rotor unlike the flying machines. However, its machine guns can fire faster, and it can also drop bombs (strong blunt damage since no explosive physics yet).

Harvest Golem - a goblin construct - attacks with its scythe-like fingers.

Shredder - used by the goblins as mounts - its sawblade attacks are incredibly powerful.

Clockwerk Goblin - a small servant construct, used by goblins.

Sky Golem - a large construct - capable of flight with thrusters in its feet and rotors hidden in its elbows.

Fel Reaver - a massive demon construct. Can blow fel smoke to cause dizziness and coughing blood.

Infernal - a demon construct - rarely seen in the wild in evil lands. Emits heat - on death, it only drops infernal brimstone.

Abyssal - a stronger form of Infernals - its flames burn even hotter, and its clawing attacks are stronger. Drops abyssal stone.

Supreme Abyssal - a very rare, much stronger Abyssal - has a single eye and a pair of horns. Drops supreme abyssal stone.

Infernal Machine - a demonic siege contraption - can shoot bolts of fel fire, or spray a cloud of fel fire.

Fel Golem - only used by fel elves - can stab with its spiky wrist protrusions.

Infernal Lord - a cursed Pit Lord. Breathes clouds of fel fire, can enter a berserker rage.

Arcane Guardian - a Blood Elf construct. Immune to magic.

Obsidian Destroyer - used by Qiraji and Undead. Immune to magic, can drain energy from enemies, making them dizzy.

Mojo Golem - used by the Ice Trolls and Zandalari. Sturdy and has tusks - bleeds mojo if its internal vial is pierced.

Apexis Golem - used by the Arakkoa. Resistant, made out of metal - powered by the crystals on its body.

Vigilant - a Draenei construct. Its shield bashes are quite powerful.

Flesh Golem - a construct used by the Undead. Has metallic plating on some parts of its body - head also has horns. Larger than most other constructs, but can bleed to death.

Granite Golem - an elemental construct used by the High Elves - also rarely found in good deserts and temperate forests.
Immune to magic.

Anubisath - a stone construct used by the Qiraji. Large, and will equip weapons and armor.

Horusath - an empowered Anubisath. Can cast Cyclone, and empower its own strength.

Anima Golem - construct used by the Mogu. Its main crystal can "bleed" anima when damaged.

Dark Animus - an improved Anima Golem. Its mace-like hands can cause incredibly deadly injuries.

Night Golem - a servant construct of the Nightborne - can speak and perform some jobs.

Clockwork Robot - used by Iron Guardians - a small servant construct.

Iron Golem - used by Iron Guardians - a more powerful, resistant form of Battle Golems.

Iron Cannon Golem - the "Siege" form of the above - its cannonballs are even deadlier.

Spoiler: New Megabeasts (click to show/hide)

Guarmhound - a large, three-headed dog. Each of its heads has a breath attack - one has a fireball spit, second has a frost bolt spit, and the last can breathe clouds of dark discharge, causing necrosis and dizziness. Cutting off one of the heads will disable its breath attack.

Chimeric Abomination - a two-headed, three-armed abomination. It can claw with its arms, and its second head can spew caustic slime.

Soulflayer - a large, evil deity. It can slash with its scythes to cause deadly injuries, and also cast Anguish, which causes pain with a chance of inducing a berserk state, and Corrupted Blood, which causes bleeding, swelling, coughing and vomiting blood, along with a chance the creature will spread the infection to other members of the fort.

Avatar of the Blood God - a skeletal avatar of an evil deity. Attacks with bites and tail lashes. Can also self-buff itself with Bloodlust, and cast Curse of Fragility, which cuts toughness by half.

Clockwork Giant - a giant construct, with a mind similar to that of a child. On entering combat, it will hop in excitement, signaling a countdown - at some point, it will become enraged, gaining a temporary combat roll buff, and also gain the ability to slam the ground and kick up waves of dust that knock away those caught in them.

Stone Golem - a construct of earth. It is animated with the magic crystals on parts of its body - they are its weak point.

Metal Golem - an improved golem, made out of tougher materials. It can also spray streams of fire.

Spoiler: Other new creatures (click to show/hide)

Infinite Dragon - found in evil deserts - they breathe Temporal Breath, which reduces speed and agility, and can cast Slow.

Nightmare Dragon - found in evil tropical forests - their Nightmare Breath causes drowsiness, necrosis and swelling. They can also cast Waking Nightmare.

Nether Dragon - found in evil deserts and mountains. Their Nether Breath causes dizziness, necrosis, and reduces strength by half - they can also cast Cripple.

Wind Dragon - found in good mountains. Their Cyclone Breath causes bleeding, and reduces speed to 70%; they can also cast Cyclone.

Stone Dragon - found deep underground. Their Stone Breath reduces speed and agility - they can also spit chunks of stone, as a strong blunt projectile.

Twilight Dragon - found in evil grasslands and shrublands. They breathe Dark Flames, causing melting damage, and can cast Unstable Affliction.

Chromatic Dragon - found in evil mountains, grasslands and shrublands. They have five different breath attacks - fireballs, acid balls, liquid lightning, liquid frost, and chunks of stone. Much more short-lived than other dragons.

Spidercrab - found in savage oceans - their snatching attacks can easily tear off limbs.

Savage Hydra - found in savage wetlands. They feel no fear and can be trained as war animals - they lack the acid spit of the three-headed Hydra.

Feral Worgen - found rarely in taigas and temperate forests. They feel no fear, and are slightly bigger than regular worgen. Due to being more like animals, they can be butchered.

Crypt Darter - found in savage glaciers, tundras, taigas, and mountains. They are fast, small fliers with a venomous bite that causes necrosis and dizziness.

Wildmane Lynx - found in temperate forests. Smaller than their sabercat relatives, and cannot be used as mounts. They are still war/hunting trainable.

Lastly, as I mentioned before, I added Infinite Draconians as a new race - they are essentially evil Draconians that require no sustenance or sleep, and feel no fear. They are tier 4 invaders. Their castes are mostly similar, however the Drakonar can cast Slow, and also breathe Temporal Breath, cutting the agility and speed of those affected.

Something you guys may like is that I also made the Forsaken playable - they can build a unique Alchemy Lab, that allows them to make potions from various ingredients.
Since they do not require sustenance, you will have to make a tavern for them to actually drink them. Along with a few standard potions (strength, agility, toughness, etc.) they have two unique ones - the potion of blight and plague potion. Both provide strong attribute buffs to undead creatures such as the Forsaken themselves - however, they have adverse effects on the living. The potion of blight merely makes the living sick - however, the plague potion can drive the living berserk, so be careful. Both can be combined to make a burst of plague gas flow out of the workshop - while it has no effects on the undead, it can give the living high attribute buffs, plus various immunities and not requiring sustenance, so I recommend putting your war pets near the workshop while you're making it (requires temperature to be on, however) - of course, this has a low chance of backfiring, either making the creature outright bleed to death, or driving them berserk.

I added a few new spell knowledge types, and altered a few existing ones. Death Knights, for example, can cast Death and Decay now, and also had their Frost Shock replaced with Freezing Wind; and Biomancers no longer can cast Cripple, but instead can use Induce Rabies and Zombify - the former can cause a fever, nausea and coughing blood, with a low chance of inducing a berserk state, and the latter can outright make a creature opposed to the living. These also apply to a few caster castes of various races - most notably the Undead - their Liches can use Death and Decay and Frost Armor, as one example.

The new caster types:
Archnecromancer - a Warcraft-style Necromancer. They can raise the dead as either regular zombies, skeletons, or skeleton magi. They also can cast Unholy Frenzy, a strong buff that induces drowsiness after its duration, and the Biomancer's old Cripple spell.

Warlocks - mostly based on Affliction Warlocks - they have two projectiles (shadow bolts and felfire bolts), Unstable Affliction, Fear, Corruption, and several Curses - Agony, Weakness, Exhaustion, Recklessness, Fragility, Elements, and Doom. Only one curse can be on a target any given time. They are tougher to find, since they don't build towers.

Shaman - elemental casters, which have three different projectiles (lightning bolt, liquid lightning, magma bolt) - they also have four Shock spells - Paralyzing Shock, Earth Shock, Flame Shock, and Frost Shock - only one can be on a target at any time. They also can cast Hex and Bloodlust.

Arcanist - casters that use pure magic. They can use Arcane Missiles (hit up to 3 targets), Slow, Polymorph, and Arcane Intellect, which raises your focus and spatial sense.

Frost Mage - casters that use ice magic. They can hurl Frost Bolts and Liquid Frost - and additionally can cast Freezing Wind, and Frost Armor, which increases toughness.

Lastly, something I'm excited to introduce - I've gotten permission from Deon to include modified Wanderer crafting reactions. This'll let you to make the new weapons available in my pack - of course, this is only available in my full pack, since it requires vanilla raw changes. Big thanks to him!

EDIT: Ooh, I forgot to mention - the mechanical creatures have their own creature class - this makes them immune to a lot of spells, i.e anything relating to souls or energy, transformations, spells that cause bleeding, pain, nausea, etc. Slow still works, and a few spells will make them "corrode" away, like Corruption or Death and Decay. Lightning spells and abilities are devastating, however - aside from having a higher paralysis chance, mechanical creatures may go haywire when zapped - essentially it makes them go berserk and attack everyone indiscriminately.

[ZM5]

Minor bugfix - noticed some of the material template files in the full pack were missing reaction classes.
