Neat. Worm-based content is rare, wish you could see more of it.

@Sir Kotok Yeah you won't see those effects in the Arena - they are meant to be subtle but generally make the game much more difficult. If you want to know exactly how they work, here are the details:

Simurgh-type Endbringers can create temporary random effects to all creatures exposed to their song, like making their personality more erratic or causing feelings of dread.

They can also turn creatures directly exposed to them into "song transmitters" who will permanently gain the ability to cause the above effects to those around them. Song transmitters are otherwise indistinguishable from normal dwarves.

Finally they can turn creatures into "time bombs" who may, at some point after one year, randomly go berserk, and become harder to kill while berserking - and anyone exposed to one of these berserkers has a chance to become a song transmitter. However, song transmitters cannot create time bombs or new song transmitters.

Okay I deleted ALL files, checked integrety of the game files, reloaded everything
and now its 1.2 and works great

I have a bit of a question of what does Simurghs song actually do? I havent yet encountered her in the normal game, and in the arena I dont really see many effects, but thats probobly because arena isnt really good at demonstrating dwarfs going mad

I deleted it and installing it from a subscription, and it works correctly.
Sir Kotok 23 Feb, 2023 @ 2:15pm 
I deleted the mod folder and it got installed again
and its still version 1

so something aint workin
indigofenix  [author] 19 Feb, 2023 @ 1:10pm 
I think it didn't synchronize correctly.

I tried it again. The version should be 1.2.

Who won the fight?
Sir Kotok 17 Feb, 2023 @ 2:34pm 
Also I havent noticed the size difference between Behemoth endbringers and the rest of em at least in the arena
Sir Kotok 17 Feb, 2023 @ 2:34pm 
In the arena all endbringers are named "Endbringer" wich makes the hard to distinguish and realise wich is wich and lack a picture

Also it still crashed the game when I spanwed all 3 of them and made em fight each other idk why

Also are they supposed to look like that? they all look the same like wierd little blue creatures?

Updated - Graphics and crash issue have been fixed.

Tested these bad bois in the arena. But sadly leviathan crashed my game.

Oh, boy! Time to reread Worm:steamhappy:

holy shit, i read worm years ago and this is first time ive seen worm content without going out of my way to look for it. what are the odds an obscure book i like is now part of a (somewhat) obscure game i like. nice mod! i love the way you implemented their powers.

" I have seen legends of Endbringers getting killed by elephants for instance"

(Worm spoilers be carefull)

Endbringers: created to be pretty much unkillable murder machines to drive conflict! Its pretty much impossible to kill them. They resist a lot of powers, they have strange layered physiology and you are gotta dig for galaxys worth of mass to get to their core. Shooting one with a blast strong enough to destroy India only damaged surface layers. They are simply unkillable.

some elephants: I am gonna end this mans whole career

Woooooooorrrrrmmmmmm!
Thank you good chap! I get the warm fuzzies every time I see a worm mod.
Crabdad 22 Dec, 2022 @ 10:29am 
Wasn't expecting a Worm mod for DF, but I'm very very happy to see it. I can't wait for Leviathan to flood my whole fort and kill everyone. Very cool.

Please add Khonsu and Tohu/Bohu and/or some titans ! This would be such a great comprehensive Parahuman S-class Megabeast mod!
indigofenix  [author] 21 Dec, 2022 @ 12:36am 
@Undamaged
Unless something has changed in megebeast behavior in the Steam version, no, all fort-mode megabeast attacks must end in either the megabeast's death or your fort's destruction, probably the latter in this case. Alternatively you can lure them into a tunnel and wall them off, which is probably your best option. Megabeasts will attack sites and be driven off in worldgen though.

(Though it should be mentioned that due to the way worldgen calculates combat, ignoring material physics and special powers, Endbringers are surprisingly killable off-screen since they are fairly small by megebeast standards. I have seen legends of Endbringers getting killed by elephants for instance. This will not happen during gameplay.)
Undamaged 20 Dec, 2022 @ 4:33pm 
I guess the !FUN! is in figuring things out for yourself but I have a question about their behavior:
Are they holding back like in worm? Can they be driven off?
Senjuro 20 Dec, 2022 @ 10:06am 
Zamn, I wouldn't have thought this particular crossover ever possible, would adding Scion be feasible to re-enact Gold Morning on our fortresses? lol :lunar2020thinkingtiger:
indigofenix  [author] 20 Dec, 2022 @ 5:28am 
The details are too long to explain in a comment, but the long and short of it is that DF magic is limited to recombinations of features that are already in the game. These recombinations offer a lot of unintuitive possibilities (example: the "instant immolation aura" is based on the interaction where a god grants a magic weapon to an adventurer, but instead of a magic weapon you are granted a boulder made of boiling plasma) but there are also a lot of things you would expect to be possible but aren't.

The stars just happened to align in the right way to make all of the Endbringer classic trio's abilities possible. A full paradwarves mod is far beyond current possibility. But check back in 5 or 6 years after the Myth and Magic update.
Undamaged 19 Dec, 2022 @ 2:38am 
I'm way too noob to enable this mod but the fact it exists is great.:KScared:
delta9church 18 Dec, 2022 @ 2:28pm 
What, no Echidna? Surely there is a way to spawn evil clones on touch or something.
EzekielJK 18 Dec, 2022 @ 1:52pm 
I hope you're planning on making a parahumans paradwarves mod to go alongside it!
Masango 16 Dec, 2022 @ 2:35am 
Worm! I almost never see Worm content out in the wild! Well done with this mod
alexanderyou 15 Dec, 2022 @ 4:53pm 
You mad bastard. I love it
Twitchel 14 Dec, 2022 @ 4:12pm 
Man why ya gotta do the dorfs Dirty like that I mean going to the circus is hell enough ya gotta add the chucklfucks as well might as well add the S9 as well if you do the dorfs dirty like this do it to the knife ears all you want but why the Dorfs....

Ay, I'm a graphic designer by hobby. I'd be happy to makes sprites for your mod if you're interested.
indigofenix  [author] 13 Dec, 2022 @ 3:42am 
@Sir Kotok
Not sure - giant letters, I think?

Speaking of which, anyone want to make sprites for this mod? I'm not great with graphic art, but it's only 3 sprites.
TheDisturbedDragon 12 Dec, 2022 @ 10:34pm 
I'm glad to find a fellow Worm fan making mods.

I'm also probably never going to enable this, since, yknow, the game is already hard as balls, but maybe if I'm feeling overconfident one day...
Solar-Stratos 12 Dec, 2022 @ 8:46pm 
Of all the games to find a Worm mod for, its the one adding the damn endbringers to dwarf fortress.
Sir Kotok 12 Dec, 2022 @ 9:47am 
Btw since they dont have graphics yet, what are the placeholder models? What should I expect to see?
indigofenix  [author] 11 Dec, 2022 @ 1:52pm 
@Sir Kotok
DF's current magic systems are not capable of adding their abilities, so I stuck with the classic 3. But give it another couple of years.
Sir Kotok 11 Dec, 2022 @ 9:54am 
Any plans to add Tohu/Bohu and Khonsu? though considering their powers they are probobly harder to add.

Also any plans to add more stuff to the 3 alerady in this mod (exept for the graphics)? Like the telepathic thorwing of stuff to the Simrgh for example

But this mod sounds really cool already! Gonna try it out!
Icarael 8 Dec, 2022 @ 8:05pm 
Aw crap. Where's Skitter when you need her?
Ellemeno 8 Dec, 2022 @ 7:57pm 
Why would you do this to us little dwarves?
