Description


The Ixthid are a vicious race of mostly intelligent insectile monstrosities that live in the rocky flatlands and deserts. They enjoy shiny things and are more than willing to steal and murder for them with no regard for the previous owner’s life.

Ixthids congregate around their humanoid variants they call their primes, specifically around a single leader they call their Matriarch. While multiple of these humanoid Ixthid can live within the same colony, they only choose one leader who rules until their death. The other castes of lesser Ixthid follow their leader almost blindly, although they do possess a bit of their own autonomy.


Drone
The small drones are the most common and the primary workforce of the Ixthid. While they are minorly intelligent, they cannot speak and they have little autonomy in their society.
Harvester
Harvesters are slightly larger than drones and possess a pair of sharp reaping arms used for harvesting wheat or enemies. While they are minorly intelligent, they cannot speak and they have little autonomy in their society.
Abomination
Abominations are hulking Ixthid armed with a pair of crushing arms that serve both as defense and as weapons to crush their enemies. While they are minorly intelligent, they cannot speak and they have little autonomy in their society.
Prime
The most intelligent and autonomous Ixthid, the primes are the sole humanoid subspecies of the race. They’re the only members capable of speech, equipping gear, and most normal societal functions – they are forced to take on roles that the other groups have no capability of doing.

Looks like Linux crashing and not Windows is due to a misspelling in tile_page_ixthid.txt, ln 26 asks to load "Ixthid_body_special.png". The actual file is "ixthid_body_special.png". To Windows' Filesystem APIs or whatever that file exists and everything works fine. To Linux, however, due to case sensitivity in filenames it doesn't recognize them as the same file, and thinks it's missing.

Either editing the raw to look for Ixthid_body_special.png or renaming the file to ixthid_body_special.png fixes the issue on Linux, and lets the game load.

It causes crash during any worldgen (v50.09linux1). Even pocket one.

I found a error in the creature file:

[PHYS_ATT_RANGE:ENDURANCE900:1400:1600:1800:2100:2600:3500]

is missing a :, it should be

[PHYS_ATT_RANGE:ENDURANCE:900:1400:1600:1800:2100:2600:3500]

I have a few questions regarding this civ.
1. How would a Prime Ixthid work in Fortress? I've made a good amount of forts with this mod and I've never seen an Abomination or a Prime. Would a Prime visit a tavern or act as a Diplomat?
2. Are they able to trade? I've gotten a few trade caravans from your Naga mod, but that's it. Granted Nagas are all intelligent, whereas only one kind of Ixthis is capable of speech so that might explain it.
3. How come the Drone is the only one that shows up in most scenarios? I've gotten a ton of Drone interaction whether it be thieves or traveling "dancers" (the thought of a large insectile creature busitng it down sends shivers up my spine,) and I've seen like 1-2 Harvesters, but none of the other ones. Do Drones server as the Worker Bee of this scenario and do all of the outside work?

I effin love this mod, so please don't take any of this as me being disappointed/dissatisfied/angry with your work. :gorlak: :gorlak:

Is there any way you can make this a playable race? I've seen other insect races on the workshop but this is by far the best one I've seen.

You know, Frejth King, I was actually thinking the exact same thing

I would reccomend the game dominions 5 for reference art and inspiration, it has so much content and I think your art is very similar and its very cool.

afaik, the thieves by default run away. I should probably make them a bit more brave, but there hasn't been a ton of testing around them so your info is super helpful.

All my combat testing of them had to be done in DF classic because it still has arena, so I'm not entirely sure how they behave in sieges yet.
