| − | By messing with the | + | By messing with the soul of a dwarf, you can drastically increase attributes and learning rates. Below are notes and a copy-paste section of text that you can use in the creature_standard.txt file, in which you replace the existing dwarf attributes. Some of these tags ''must'' be placed in the section where castes are defined (ex: to speed learning rates, place the tags under the [CASTE:MALE] and [CASTE:FEMALE] tags) Using the Castes, it is very possible to specify what parts of your society get what (ex: adding a 'prodigy' caste of dwarves that learn 5 times faster than regular dwarves). The most easily adjustable portion of the castes is with the Males and Females. |

Please note that the elves get "5,000" in the memory stat, for the entire range. Humans get a default of 1,000, and presumably the same goes for any other creature that doesn't have a specified range. |

The first value indicates cost | + | Below, the ATT_RATES tag basically determines how quickly you gain and lose an attribute. The first value indicates cost. The lower it is, the better. The other values are for dictating the rate of decay, so keeping them at "NONE" basically nullifies that aspect. Don't use "0" for the first value, it crashes the game. Default for the first value is 500. If there is no number, the default will be used. I believe that you can use negative numbers (negative numbers DO NOT increase the speed of rate, tested for Splinterz Dwarf Therapist that uses CTI, set CTI to -5000, -300, -100, the count kept increasing well past 1500, but no increase in attribute), which further increases the gain of attributes, since the ceiling to the next attribute level is lowered by the negative percentage you use. |
