I think most of you have worked this out, but we are all hanging out on discord these past few years.

Sounds like your doppleganger had maxed out defense.

[Keeperman]

New factions, people love them.

Combat improvements, always welcome.

Modding support is huge. Keep it up.

I think these are the right decisions. People who think you should leave early access often think that you will give up working on the game and leave people stranded. Once they get over this idea and see that you have chosen the best path to ensure future development, they normally see sense.

OK, the rubble can be removed with remove furniture or dug through by ordering your imps to dig. This will leave behind stones, that you can’t build on. If you really want to build on the same space again, you can actually claim the tiles where the stones are and “remove furniture” on them.

Thanks to PolarBear and ShadowLancer for this information.

Non-biological mobs could be both poison and disease resistant. Also, the main villains could generally have those resistances. The delay before corpses poison creatures is also a sensible idea.

Disease could basically be poison with a different name. Then you could also have disease resistance traits as well as poison resistant traits. So if anything, it could add to the game play a bit.

[Keeperman]

There is room for a lot of new technologies to be added. Perhaps you won’t ever get all the technologies, even by the end of the game. So you might have to make some tough choices about what to research.

The chat is a good idea. It may be possible to play with/against other players by sharing the same random map seed. For example, you could warn each other of dangers over chat or race another player to conquer the same map. Racing players in real-time is fun, I did this with a member of my family by using the same seed in about alpha 18 (before campaigns). We experimented with chatting and sharing screens using Skype.

Halflings (from your list):

https://keeperrl.com/wiki/index.php?title=Requests_for_new_villains#Halflings

[Keeperman]

Let’s develop those ideas.

First, we should eliminate the ideas that already exist in the game:
Draid, cyclops, witch, minotaur, golem, tree spirit (= treeman /ent )

Second, filter for new (interesting) ideas that are not requested on the wiki yet. The wiki has entries for:
Giant, Lich, Goul, Abomination

Remove ideas that are too similar:
Magi\Sorcerer\Warlock\Wizard = Magi (alt. plural of mage)
Liche\Corpse-lord = Liche

This leaves us with the most interesting ones:
Dragon-man, Druid, Centaur, Faun, Fiend, Gnoll, Gremlin, Halfling, Hobgoblin, Kappa,
Magi, Merman, Naga, Satyr, Triton, Trolls, Trows, Troglodytes, Elder, Mushroom Man, Oracle, Half-Demon

Look for a place in existing categories of creatures (ie. Major villain, Minor villain, mini-villain, ally, wildlife, minion)
-Good for Major Villains: (Dragon-men, Druids, Centaurs, Magi)
-Good for Minor Villains: (Satyr, Halflings, Fauns, Triton, Elder)
-Good for Mini Villains: (Merman, Halflings, Hobgoblin)
-Good allies: (Gremlins, Trolls, Half-Demon)
-Good wildlife: (Naga, Mushroom-Man, Oracle)
-Good minions: (Gnolls, Fiends)

—————–Now let’s do a worked example for dragon men——————

Done. Next news update?

[Keeperman]

Makes sense if it is capable of killing your enemies.

[Keeperman]

Think it’s a bug.

Metal armour would be boss of Malee fighting.

Magic resistance or resisting true damage would need creature traits or magic items or spells.

Light armour or no armour could let creatures dodge projectiles. Leather armour is best because you can dodge but also absorb damage. Metal armour might make you a sitting duck.
