VSR - Better Bugs & Bloodsuckers

Description
Spice up your gameplay with the Vanilla Spice Rack series! Designed for compatibility with the base game and DF Classic, these mods have NO new graphics, items or monsters. Instead, they improve the vanilla experience by breathing new life into existing entries. Try a taste today!

51.11: Fixed some errors with attacks and did an update pass on Slug, Snail and Moon Snail men and their Giant variants. Future updates will cover more of the bug people to improve their viability as Adventurers.

---

This vanilla-friendly mod refines and revamps five insect-man species into proper threats, complete with their own civs, mounts, and dangerous special attacks. Expect them at your door any time you might see a Goblin siege, and beware - you might just get both!

- Improves Tick Men, Louse Men, Mosquito Men and Leech Men with strengthened chitin and bloodsucking attacks. Their Giant variants are equally hungry!

- Improves Fly Men with an acid puke attack. Their Giant variant is just as gross!

- Improves Worm Men for use as Troll-like slaves by Bloodsucker civs.

- Adjusts a handful of Giant Insect creatures for use as mounts by Bloodsucker civs.

- Adds two evil Bloodsucker civs (Goblin copies) which can spawn at worldgen.

If you enjoy this mod, or end up suffering a gruesome fate, look out for more additions to the Vanilla Spice Rack!

Would you mind releasing a version without the civilizations? Just the changes to the individual races?
