Mod Ren'Py Abandoned Time For Dragons - Defiler Wings: Deranged Dragon Mod [29-07-2020] [Jman]

Because he is impressive size only.. and you can't face 5 monsters against you all alone! But my first baby monsters are being born... Like... more than lizardmans so... I think it will be bearable? Mh... Drake have 130hp each for example......... MHHH I'll see

I'll be honest, at some point, when you have minions, you never even fight the knight. I'ven't fought a knight in forever.

...when you have minions, you never even fight the knight.

This is perhaps the biggest reason why I'm limiting the number of minions who can be present in the lair at once (that, and to make larger lairs more attractive). To make things more even, traps won't count as 'regular' buildings any more, they will have their own size limit (again, up to lair size).

No need to change "minions limit"... Just change the idea of it!
Example: You can have all the minions you want, but I don't expect them to stay around all the time... The ones that will truly defend your base will be just some "guards", the others just add a tiny part of their power to the actual defense total

 

[Jman9]

Edit: Just FYI, if I post and say something 'will change' or 'will be changed', it most likely already exists as code. If it's 'will be changing' or I put in qualifiers like 'when I get to it', it's just an idea. While the mod is currently standing still, there was a moderate amount of progress over winter and spring, and especially mid-summer. I already said my piece about 'homework'.

Just change the idea of it!

That would work for the minion defense thing, sorta. But would do nothing to resolve the "100 lizardmen in a bear cave" issue. It'd basically be a village outside the lair, and I don't want that. One the dragon pays for. The villages are in the tribe.

 

[mordet]

Is there a way to get the most up to date version? I mean the one you're working on? I'd like to play-test it give feedback.
(Also, trying the workshop decreased crafting time would be grand.)

 

[Jman9]

Not really. Some parts of it are broken (as in, broken up and not put together again), there are probably too many bugs that I'd want to resolve faster myself than chase dozens of bug reports, some bits might not even work without producing an outright error, etc. And trying to cut some working parts out for testing is a lot of ultimately pointless work.

Basically, it'd only really work if you wanted to become a modder/dev as well.


Workshop time isn't decreased, there's just a button that does all the clicking for 'best' treasure for you. Multiple workshops are already in the release.

Really? because I have 12 workshops and making one treasure takes 6h.

 

[Jman9]

It only works for parallelised production, i.e. you need to be crafting more than one item at once.

 

[mordet]

oh

 

[Jman9]

Yeah. Right now, I'm looking if I can extend that to auto-craft as well, so you'll only spend time depending on total number of treasures crafted, not individual crafting rounds.

Edit: Seems to be working.

 

[mordet]

That would be very helpful. btw, I kinda fucked up earlier in my save and bought 1000 goblins. now my composition is all messed up. what are the different types of minions for the army. As in, are succubi elites or grunts? most of them are pretty clear, but some lie dragonspawns aren't. Elite or not?

 

[Jman9]

Okay, the crafting changes seem to be totally isolated from all other code, and I did some testing on my own, so I guess you can test the auto-crafting feature. Still not sure some edge cases won't fuck up the calculations, but fingers crossed.

Edit: New treasurecrafting fixed and moved here.

what are the different types of minions for the army.

The only confusion is with grunts vs elites. Servants are the first column, snakes/specials are the last. Grunts are lizardmen, everything else is elite. So nagas, succubi and dragonspawn are also elites. I moved them over because I ran out of vertical space.

Diversity is a force multiplier, it's good to have, but not essential. You can probably go with just 100k goblins.

 

[mordet]

Well, this is going fairly well. the treasure crafting is not bugging out, so .

Wait, only Lizardmen are considered grunts? That would explain why my diversity is not going up. Petition to move Gargants and/or Crocs to grunt category Unless I understand it wrong and it counts up to Leafzard.

 

[Jman9]

No, all the proper lizardman subtypes count. Only Crocs, Kobolds and Dragonspawn aren't grunts.

Sorry to ask , but can somebody tell where to find Ifrits Castle please ? I am still missing the Fire Hatchery :/

IIRC mountains and sky have low chance to find it so keep trying those.
You aren't missing much if you already have the stone hatchery tho since its lower levels.

Yes i have , but one quest i can not clear , i have the Balrog but not the Fire Hatchery But thanks i keep on trying my luck with the Sky and Mountains

 

[Jman9]

Efreeti are sky-only. The closest you can get in the mountains is the empty volcanic cave.

 

[Laxard]

Hmm, what is a point of treasures if there is seems to be nothere to sell them now? At least until I can turn into human and sneak in the city, didn't tried it yet.
