<p>EricBlank: Added a much more complete list of wildlife, based not on what is specific to the biomes but what is available/possible in the biomes, excluding megabeasts. Hopefully more useful to players.</p> <hr /> <div>{{quality|Fine|17:28, 28 May 2011 (UTC)}}{{av}} <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> &quot;When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. And that one sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, and then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Son, the strongest castle in all of England.&quot;<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> A '''wetland''' is a type of {{L|biome}}, flooded permanently or only periodically. Generally they have an abundance of {{L|plants|foliage}}, including heavy, specialized {{L|tree}}-growth and a vast ecosystem. The landscape is very flat, with only occasional, small gradients. {{L|Pond}}s are abundant. Wetlands tend to form around {{L|ocean}}ic coastlines, especially where {{L|river}}s meet the ocean.<br /> <br /> They generally have a high {{L|water}} table, meaning that an accessible {{L|aquifer}} is only a few tiles below the surface (and in occasionally unlucky circumstances, directly beneath the surface). It can be incredibly difficult to nigh-impossible to extract {{L|stone}}s from these areas, making the long-term feasibility of a fort doubtful; it is recommend that an additional, non-saturated biome be selected as well. The stratification is often hard to ascertain, as it is difficult to penetrate the aquifer. Generally there are a few layers of {{L|clay}} and {{L|loam}} followed, eventually, by stone and rock beneath.<br /> <br /> Wetlands with salt{{L|water}} make habitability more precarious, as the aquifer and surrounding ponds are not drinkable. The water first has to be {{L|Water#Salt_Water|desalinated}}.<br /> <br /> Specific categories of wetlands are '''marshes''' and '''swamps'''.<br /> The types of wetlands you will find are:<br /> <br /> * Temperate freshwater marsh<br /> * Temperate saltwater marsh<br /> * Tropical freshwater marsh<br /> * Tropical saltwater marsh<br /> * Temperate freshwater swamp<br /> * Temperate saltwater swamp<br /> * Tropical freshwater swamp<br /> * Tropical saltwater swamp<br /> ** Mangrove swamp<br /> <br /> <br /> == Temperate marshes ==<br /> (both freshwater and saltwater)<br /> <br /> === Wildlife ===<br /> <br /> ==== Creatures ====<br /> <br /> '''In temperate marshes appear:'''<br /> <br /> * {{L|Buzzard}}<br /> * {{L|Saltwater crocodile}}<br /> * {{L|Duck}}<br /> * {{L|Goose}}<br /> * {{L|Capybara}}<br /> <br /> '''In savage temperate marshes appear:'''<br /> <br /> * {{L|Slugman}}<br /> * {{L|Snailman}}<br /> <br /> '''In evil temperate marshes appear:'''<br /> <br /> * {{L|Beak dog}}<br /> * {{L|Grimeling}}<br /> * {{L|Harpy}}<br /> <br /> ==== Vermin ====<br /> <br /> '''In temperate marshes appear:'''<br /> <br /> * {{L|Red-winged blackbird}}<br /> <br /> == Tropical marshes ==<br /> (both freshwater and saltwater)<br /> <br /> === Wildlife ===<br /> <br /> ==== Creatures ====<br /> <br /> '''In tropical marshes appear:'''<br /> <br /> * {{L|Saltwater crocodile}}<br /> * {{L|Duck}}<br /> * {{L|Water buffalo}}<br /> * {{L|Capybara}}<br /> * {{L|Leopard}}<br /> * {{L|Jaguar}}<br /> * {{L|Honey badger}}<br /> <br /> '''In savage tropical marshes appear:'''<br /> <br /> * {{L|Slugman}}<br /> * {{L|Snailman}}<br /> * {{L|Tigerman}}<br /> * {{L|Giant leopard}}<br /> * {{L|Giant jaguar}}<br /> <br /> '''In evil tropical marshes appear:'''<br /> <br /> * {{L|Beak dog}}<br /> * {{L|Grimeling}}<br /> * {{L|Harpy}}<br /> <br /> == Temperate swamps ==<br /> (both freshwater and saltwater)<br /> <br /> === Wildlife ===<br /> <br /> ==== Creatures ====<br /> <br /> '''In temperate swamps appear:'''<br /> <br /> * {{L|Alligator}}<br /> * {{L|Duck}}<br /> * {{L|Turkey}}<br /> * {{L|Capybara}}<br /> <br /> '''In savage temperate swamps appear:'''<br /> <br /> * {{L|Slugman}}<br /> * {{L|Snailman}}<br /> <br /> '''In evil temperate swamps appear:'''<br /> <br /> * {{L|Grimeling}}<br /> <br /> == Tropical swamps ==<br /> (freshwater and saltwater, as well as mangrove swamps)<br /> [[Image:Tropical freshwater swamp.png‎|thumb|right|A tropical freshwater swamp with some gorillas wandering along the brook.]]<br /> === Wildlife ===<br /> <br /> ==== Creatures ====<br /> <br /> '''In tropical swamps appear:'''<br /> <br /> * {{L|Gorilla}}<br /> * {{L|Saltwater crocodile}}<br /> * {{L|Tiger}}<br /> * {{L|Duck}}<br /> * {{L|Water buffalo}}<br /> * {{L|Capybara}}<br /> * {{L|Leopard}}<br /> * {{L|Jaguar}}<br /> * {{L|Honey badger}}<br /> <br /> '''In savage tropical swamps appear:'''<br /> <br /> * {{L|Giant tiger}}<br /> * {{L|Slugman}}<br /> * {{L|Snailman}}<br /> * {{L|Tigerman}}<br /> * {{L|Giant leopard}}<br /> * {{L|Giant jaguar}}<br /> <br /> '''In evil tropical swamps appear:'''<br /> <br /> * {{L|Grimeling}}<br /> <br /> == General Wetland Wildlife ==<br /> <br /> === Vermin ===<br /> <br /> '''In temperate marshes appear:'''<br /> <br /> * {{L|Red-winged blackbird}}<br /> * All insect vermin<br /> * All vermin found in a {{L|pool}}<br /> * {{L|Lizard}}<br /> * {{L|Demon rat}}<br /> * {{L|Rat}}<br /> <br /> '''In evil wetlands appear:'''<br /> <br /> * {{L|Demon rat}}<br /> * {{L|Knuckle worm}}<br /> <br /> '''In good wetlands appear:'''<br /> <br /> * {{L|Fluffy wambler}}<br /> <br /> '''In savage wetlands appear:'''<br /> <br /> * {{L|Two legged rhino lizard}}<br /> <br /> '''In good, benign wetlands appear:'''<br /> <br /> * {{L|Fairy}}<br /> * {{L|Pixie}}<br /> <br /> {{Expand Topic}}<br /> <br /> {{World}}<br /> {{Category|World}}</div>

Mass applies USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE, mass alters RELSIZE, alters body part positions, and will allow tissue layers to be defined. Tissue layers are defined in order of skin to bone here.<br /> '''Example:'''&lt;br /&gt;<br /> [BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:VERTEBRATE_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE:BONE:CARTILAGE] &lt;br /&gt;<br /> This creates the detailed body of a {{L|fox}}, the skin, fat, muscle, bones and cartilage out of the vertebrate tissues.&lt;br /&gt;<br /> A {{L|Purring maggot|maggot}} would only need:&lt;br /&gt;<br /> ''[BODY_DETAIL_PLAN:EXOSKELETON_TISSUE_LAYERS:SKIN:FAT:MUSCLE]'' <br /> <br /> |- <br /> | BODY_SIZE<br /> | years:days:size <br /> | sets up size at a given time.

His birth size would be 10000 (~10 kg). With 1 year and 168 days he would be 50000 tall (~50 kg). As an adult (with 12 years) he would weight roughly 220 kg<br /> <br /> |- <br /> | BODYGLOSS <br /> | gloss <br /> | Substitutes body part text with replacement text.

In addition, the creature must be NATURAL rather than FANCIFUL<br /> <br /> |-<br /> | CONVERTED_SPOUSE<br /> |<br /> | Found only at caste level.

Egg-laying creatures will define this 3 times, using LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:EGGSHELL, LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:EGG_WHITE, and then LOCAL_CREATURE_MAT:EGG_YOLK. Eggs will be made out of eggshell. Edibility is determined by tags on whites or yolk, but they otherwise do not exist.<br /> <br /> |-<br /> | EGG_SIZE<br /> |<br /> *size<br /> | Size of creature's egg?<br /> <br /> |-<br /> | EQUIPMENT_WAGON <br /> | <br /> | Makes the creature into a large 3x3 creature responsible for carrying trade goods, pulled by two [WAGON_PULLER]s and driven by a merchant.<br /> <br /> |- <br /> | EQUIPS <br /> | <br /> | Allows the creature to wear or wield items.<br /> <br /> |- <br /> | EVIL <br /> | <br /> | Determines whether creature can show up on &quot;evil&quot; maps<br /> <br /> <br /> |- <br /> | EXTRACT<br /> |<br /> * {{L|material token}}<br /> | Defines a creature extract which can be obtained via {{L|small animal dissection}}.<br /> <br /> |- <br /> | EXTRAVISION <br /> | <br /> | Creature can see regardless of whether it has working eyes. <br /> |}<br /> <br /> &lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;<br /> {{alphabetical TOC}}<br /> &lt;/div&gt;<br /> <br /> ==F==<br /> {| {{prettytable}}<br /> |- bgcolor=&quot;#ddd&quot;<br /> ! width=&quot;20%&quot; | Token<br /> ! width=&quot;20%&quot; | Arguments<br /> ! width=&quot;60%&quot; | Description<br /> |- <br /> | FANCIFUL <br /> | <br /> | Makes every civilization know about the creature.

Fortress Mode pathfinding only partially incorporates pathfinding - flying dwarves need a land path to exist between them and an area in order to access it, but as long as one such path exists, they do not need to use it, instead being able to fly over intervening obstacles.<br /> <br /> |- <br /> | FREQUENCY <br /> |<br /> *number, max 100<br /> | Determines the time between creature spawns in Fortress Mode. Higher is more occurrences per time unit. Creatures without a frequency statement default to 50. Almost all others have either [FREQUENCY:5] or [FREQUENCY:100].

The tile is what replaces the being's current tile when it is obscured from your sight by darkness. The default setting for kobolds (a yellow quotation mark) provides a nice &quot;glowing eyes&quot; effect. The game is also hardcoded to automatically convert quotation mark GLOWTILES into apostrophes if the creature has lost one eye.

<p>EricBlank: </p> <hr /> <div>Are ''all'' these tokens verified? There was a reason I was adding them independently. I know for a fact that this is an incomplete list, which throws the entire list into suspicion for me, because it looks very much ripped from the 40d page with some minor edits. Many of these tokens may function differently from the previous version. For now, I motion that this edit be undone.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> I'm going to cross-reference it with the string dump and seperate it into creature-level tokens and caste-level tokens. --[[User:Untelligent|Untelligent]] 14:43, 5 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Added a bunch of stuff from the string dump. Left out some HFS-related stuff that doesn't show up in the normal raws for now. A lot of stuff still needs to be verified, and some of the tokens might not be used yet, but at least it's more complete now. --[[User:Untelligent|Untelligent]] 16:31, 5 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> Wouldn't ATTACK_TRIGGER not be min:medium:max but rather pop:trade:production minimums as it is in the entity definitions? dragons have [ATTACK_TRIGGER:80:10000:100000] which would mean you need a minimum population of 80, (exported and/or imported?) trade total of 10000*, and a created wealth of at least 100000* in order for an attack to be possible, which makes perfect sense. <br /> Also wouldn't it make more sense that ATTACK_PENETRATION_PERC is the percentage of the force used by an attack that plays towards penetrating to the tissue layer underneath the one struck by the attack? Meaning a low value in this tag (a blunt object, like a punch or kick from a clawless humanoid) would make an attack either less likely to penetrate and/or allow less force to reach the next layer when it does. <br /> I'll go ahead and test these both whenever I get a chance. --[[User:EricBlank|EricBlank]]</div>

I know for a fact that this is an incomplete list, which throws the entire list into suspicion for me, because it looks very much ripped from the 40d page with some minor edits. Many of these tokens may function differently from the previous version. For now, I motion that this edit be undone.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> I'm going to cross-reference it with the string dump and seperate it into creature-level tokens and caste-level tokens. --[[User:Untelligent|Untelligent]] 14:43, 5 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Added a bunch of stuff from the string dump. Left out some HFS-related stuff that doesn't show up in the normal raws for now. A lot of stuff still needs to be verified, and some of the tokens might not be used yet, but at least it's more complete now. --[[User:Untelligent|Untelligent]] 16:31, 5 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> <br /> Wouldn't ATTACK_TRIGGER not be min:medium:max but rather pop:trade:production minimums as it is in the entity definitions? dragons have [ATTACK_TRIGGER:80:10000:100000] which would mean you need a minimum population of 80, (exported and/or imported?) trade total of 10000*, and a created wealth of at least 100000* in order for an attack to be possible, which makes perfect sense. --[[User:EricBlank|EricBlank]]</div>

<p>EricBlank: </p> <hr /> <div>I'm not sure 'When should I move in' is a relevant topic for this page. It goes from being informative to prescriptive. As this is not a guide page, it should probably avoid recommendations and focus on facts about Caverns. (Relevantly, the answer to 'when should i move in' may well be never, based on considerations entirely unconnected to the dangers of the cavern). --[[User:Squirrelloid|Squirrelloid]] 18:58, 1 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :Well, it needed something, and I'm not the best writer in the world, so you're right. Someone should also take a picture of a cavern for when the images work again, I might if no-one else does. --[[User:Tarran|Tarran]]<br /> ::I haven't found ruins. Instead I used an adamantium pillar to mine through a magma sea layer, and found glowing pits with about eleventy-billion demons in them. Good to see that while going deep is GAME OVER, there are dozens of different ways to die.--[[User:Alkyon|Alkyon]] 03:38, 2 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Should this page be considered/have a link to a Biome page? All creatures that exist in these caverns have a the tag [BIOME:SUBTERRANEAN_CHASM] and appear use the [UNDERGROUND_DEPTH:1-3:1-3] to control the depths they can be found in. This would be quite useful for organization. -[[User:EricBlank|EricBlank]]</div>

<p>EricBlank: </p> <hr /> <div>I'm not sure 'When should I move in' is a relevant topic for this page. It goes from being informative to prescriptive. As this is not a guide page, it should probably avoid recommendations and focus on facts about Caverns. (Relevantly, the answer to 'when should i move in' may well be never, based on considerations entirely unconnected to the dangers of the cavern). --[[User:Squirrelloid|Squirrelloid]] 18:58, 1 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> :Well, it needed something, and I'm not the best writer in the world, so you're right. Someone should also take a picture of a cavern for when the images work again, I might if no-one else does. --[[User:Tarran|Tarran]]<br /> ::I haven't found ruins. Instead I used an adamantium pillar to mine through a magma sea layer, and found glowing pits with about eleventy-billion demons in them. Good to see that while going deep is GAME OVER, there are dozens of different ways to die.--[[User:Alkyon|Alkyon]] 03:38, 2 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> Should this page be considered/have a link to a Biome page? All creatures that exist in these caverns have a the tag [BIOME:SUBTERRANEAN_CHASM] and appear use the [UNDERGROUND_DEPTH:1-3:1-3] to control the depths they can be found in. This would be quite useful for organization.</div>

No hope. &lt;s&gt;No dwarfs allowed.&lt;/s&gt; No elves* allowed.<br /> <br /> Tundras are essentially a freezing [[grassland]] or sand [[desert]], with no flora of any kind, and no water sources. Unlike glaciers, <br /> they do not have a layer of ice. Rivers and other waterways do not exist in tundras, and will in fact stop immediately on the border of the <br /> tundra. [[Lake]]s and [[ocean]]s in the same climatic region will be frozen over and exist as a [[glacier]]. All of these water features may be <br /> frozen year-round.<br /> <br /> == Fortress construction ==<br /> <br /> If you plan to start a fortress on a tundra, you should definitely bring your own barrels and wood in place of an anvil. Extra barrels <br /> can be brought by bringing cheap meat with you, or simply buying them empty, though the former would be more productive. Like most [[biomes]] <br /> they have soil on top of stone, so farming and metallurgy is possible, and absolutely necessary, because there is no source of wood for <br /> barrels or water. Players are advised to empty their wagons and move all their goods and population underground as soon as possible, <br /> because some tundras are cold enough for your dwarves to freeze to death quickly. Likewise, trade depots should also be built underground, <br /> and a tunnel to the edge of the map should be made with a road leading to the absolute edge (must be above ground) and continuing underground <br /> to the depot, to encourage merchants to use it and to protect them from said cold. fortresses should indefinitely be built on borders of other <br /> biomes, including [[taiga]]s and glaciers, preferably both, to supply wood and ice, which will melt as soon as it is underground, meaning a <br /> garbage dump can be made of a channeled, underground area and the ice blocks thrown in, although ice from a frozen waterway will be labelled as ''''water'''' which appears to be economic stone, and will also melt once underground.<br /> <br /> Elves really won't be bothering you about their trees here, due to the lack of said trees, and thus could be an important source of wood <br /> and supplies.<br /> <br /> Aquifers could be extremely helpful in tundras, especially if they encompass only a small part of the region, as they provide a source of water for you fortress, which would otherwise be very difficult to obtain.<br /> <br /> == Wildlife ==<br /> <br /> Very few vanilla [[creatures]] exist in tundra biomes, some being [[Elk]] and [[Polar bear]]s, although the lack of diversity does not <br /> necessarily mean the populations of these will be below normal.

<p>EricBlank: </p> <hr /> <div>Just so I have some text on this page, I'm going to explain the current state and history of my only remaining playable fort. The others are missing something I modded in and can't remember where it went or it's tags/attributes so I really can't do anything about that.<br /> <br /> '''Location'''<br /> <br /> Love-armors was founded in 80, by the group called The Gloves of Strapping, of the civilization known as The True Bust, on the plane of Amethaecamo.<br /> <br /> '''&lt;s&gt;Interesting&lt;/s&gt; horrifying note'''<br /> <br /> If there weren't enough references to sex in that, then it will help you to know that I gave every living creature in the game genitals, including <br /> gender-specific ones for gender-specific species, anuses and rectums, bladders and urethras. It makes their deaths even more hilarious when they <br /> bleed to death out their assholes after falling into the river and being eaten alive by carp, sea lampreys, longnose gar, or pike. On another note, <br /> no carp has of yet been named for it's blitzkrieg of death, nor has any begun one, while the other three species all have at least one named member, one <br /> of which is still alive.<br /> <br /> '''The body, ending in an ass.'''<br /> <br /> The fortress itself is built into the northeast bank of a river fork, a massive 20-30 wide river flowing down the west side and a small 4-wide <br /> tributary coming from the east. It's less of a 'bank' rally, and more of a cliff, since the larger river goes right over a 5-story waterfall right <br /> next to the fort.<br /> <br /> <br /> In the first year, 80, I suddenly realized that my civilization didn't even HAVE battle axes or hatchets to send with us, which meant we <br /> became excessively trade dependent, and ironic considering we were in a heavily forested area. Luckily, the woodsman, Willow, was almost <br /> immediately devoured from the bottom up by a pike, who was later slain by a war dog who had just stood there while his master died in the most <br /> horrific manner, so far that is.<br /> <br /> While the dwarves were trying to get over it, I planned a swimming pool to prevent them from drowning/being trapped, and giving them some chance <br /> to survive, it works, but is very difficult to organize them to make sure everyone gets their training. There is a central stairwell which <br /> provides passage through the first four layers, which are all soil, and into the stone beneath. While there is an aquifer, it interferes very <br /> rarely, since it's mostly just random pockets of damp soil, and has given one of my citizens a nice well of endless water to drink from. <br /> Which leads to the next point, everyone has a bedroom, there is a grand dining hall, and many upper-class citizens have fully furnished <br /> homes. There is also a temple that will soon be fully decorated, and already has coffins for the entire current population, of 40, with around <br /> 60 more dead...<br /> <br /> '''History of Failure'''<br /> <br /> Since the first year, the fort has been besieged non-stop by orcish warriors and goblin raids, with the occaisional raccoon or monkey. They <br /> always arrive in tune with the caravans, and wreak havok, such as slaughtering an entire leptol (my own creation) caravan, which led to my <br /> retarded dwarves trudging north along the river to the site, and 6 of them, including 2 blacksmiths, 2 craftsman, a wrestler, and her baby, were eaten or drowned by/because of a longnose gar. The <br /> baby was actually torn from her mothers hands (or tossed in) by the fish, and eaten alive while her mother stood there, doing nothing, not <br /> even getting bad thoughts until it was actually dead. Then she jumped in and was also eaten alive. The fish was finally put down by a pair of <br /> marksmen.<br /> <br /> Such is life in the fortress of the stupid. Speaking of which, a tantrumming marksdwarf killed the finest stoneworker in the entire fort, Stoner, <br /> a legendary miner, mason, and engraver. His female counterpart, Mini, has since taken over, but was forced to labor and loiter outside for <br /> several months to prevent the onset of cave adaptation, and thus the others have nearly caught up with her. Our replacement to the position of <br /> Head Woodsman, Oak, lost his legendary marksman of a wife that same month when I fatally miscalculated the time the drawbridge needed to be <br /> closed, killing her, several other soldiers, and a number of orcs when it finally did raise. He, however, remained 'ecstatic' up until his death in <br /> a goblin raid while drinking outside the walls. Our first mayor went insane when failing to make an artifact requiring thread, which we had plenty <br /> of but for some reason wasn't registering, four more have died for that very same reason. The second mayors dying breath was mandating the <br /> construction of silver items, during a goblin raid that somehow got inside the front gate, followed by two more from across the west and south <br /> bridges. The third mayor ended his term normally, except that he was in bed the entire time, but was then killed while resting his leg, during <br /> another fateful goblin raid, which took 3 other lives. The current mayor has done nothing particularly interesting, nothing good, nothing bad. <br /> He's really just been idling, even when he is requested at the trade depot. I will have his name changed to Jimmy Carter, he is however a legendary record keeper, and has been mayor for several years now. The position of Sheriff <br /> has been changed only once, after the original, Assy, who was a bit of a murderer herself, was killed in... a goblin raid... I really detest <br /> goblins. Fortunately their raids have been kept at bay thanks to the introduction of rows of cage traps at both the bridges and guards at <br /> every entrance. We've so far caught 30 of the bottom-feeders, over 50 orcs, 2 black bears, a pheasant, two raccoons, five rhesus macaques, and a wild raik (my first creation, which function as dogs do when tamed, and are immensely powerful).<br /> <br /> One of our marksmen recently plunged headlong over the side of the bridge spanning the main river in order to murder a carp, and was then attacked by another carp. He survived and was eventually rescued. The black bear we'd caught escaped and spent several minutes to kill one person, whom nobody even attempted to save, even when recruited. The bear decided to walk into an unused hallway so I happily sealed it in, and no-one has heard from her since, besides the incessant growling, scratching, and occasional roaring coming from behind a poorly-built stone door.<br /> <br /> Recently an elven caravan came to trade, but i made the mistake of giving them wood, so they promised war and started packing. I chose to seal them in behind stone walls, build a stone floor overhead with only one connection, and cut that connection. It killed 5 in a cave-in, injuring the sixth, and without harming any dorfs besides knocking them unconscious. The remaining elf later went berserk so she was killed in the hallway, breaking one persons arm, and causing another draftee to go berserk, subsequently ripped apart by the dogs. I'm not sure if this will lead to a finally consisting of a tantrum spiral or not.<br /> <br /> '''Future plans'''<br /> <br /> I plan to use the waterfall as a happiness booster in the future but that is currently not plausible.</div>

The others are missing something I modded in and can't remember where it went or it's tags/attributes so I really can't do anything about that.<br /> <br /> Love armors was founded in 80, by the group called The Gloves of Strapping, of the civilization known as The True Bust, on the plane of Amethaecamo.<br /> <br /> If there wasn't enough references to sex in that, then it will help you to know that I gave every living creature in the game genitals, including gender-specific ones for gender-specific species, anuses and rectums, bladders and urethras.
