New sacrifices

[mefistotelis]

I'm just working on the sacrifices code.

I don't like the original one, so I completely replaced it. Now I can add more sacrifice recipes.

Do you have any ideas about new combinations? My code allows to combine up to six creatures and generate any creature, spell or other effect.

The creature sacrifices array currently looks like this (note that non-creature sacrifices are not there):

struct SacrificeRecipe sacrifices[] = {
  // 1 Horned Reaper = make all creatures angry
  {{14, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},SacA_UniqueFunc , UnqF_MkAllAngry},
  // 2 Flies = Finishes current research
  {{19,19, 0, 0, 0, 0},SacA_UniqueFunc , UnqF_ComplResrch},
  // When sacrificing imps
  {{23, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},SacA_UniqueFunc , UnqF_NonePart},
  // 2 Beetles = Finishes current manufacturing
  {{24,24, 0, 0, 0, 0},SacA_UniqueFunc , UnqF_ComplManufc},
  // 2 Vampires = All your creatures become diseased
  {{25,25, 0, 0, 0, 0},SacA_BadSpell   , 26},
  // 3 Spiders = 1 Bile Demon
  {{26,26,26, 0, 0, 0},SacA_MkCreature , 22},
  // 1 Fly + 1 Spider = 1 Warlock
  {{19,26, 0, 0, 0, 0},SacA_MkCreature , 21},
  // 1 Beetle + 1 Spider = 1 Dark Mistress
  {{24,26, 0, 0, 0, 0},SacA_MkCreature , 20},
  // 1 Ghost = All your chickens die
  {{28, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},SacA_UniqueFunc , UnqF_KillChickns},
  // 2 Bile Demons = All your creatures become chickens
  {{22,22, 0, 0, 0, 0},SacA_BadSpell   , 27},
  // 1 Troll + 1 Bile Demon + 1 Dark Mistress = 1 Horned Reaper
  {{16,20,22, 0, 0, 0},SacA_MkCreature , 14},
  // Empty slot
  {{ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},SacA_None       ,  0},
};

How many new sacrifices can you use? I have a bunch of ideas.

[Metal Gear Rex]

Pick your favorite. Notify me if any conjure with each other, a few come close but I think they're fine if the other sacrifices are done first.

Hero Sacrifices

Warlock+Warlock=Wizard
Orc+Orc=Barbarian
Troll+Warlock=Archer
Ghost+Warlock=Monk
Troll+Tunneller=Dwarf
Dragon+Demon Spawn+Demon Spawn=Knight
Beetle+Fly+Imp=Tunneller
Demon Spawn+Dark Mistress=Witch
Bile Demon+Orc=Giant
Dark Mistress+Warlock=Fairy
Fly+Hell Hound+Warlock=Thief
Dark Mistress+Tentacle=Samurai

Undead Sacrifices

Fly+Demon Spawn=Ghost
Thief+Demon Spawn+Beetle=Skeleton
Warlock+Warlock+Witch+Witch+Spider=Vampire

Bad Sacrifices

Skeleton+Skeleton=All Your Prisoners Die (No Skeletons, just die like they were slapped to death or something)
Ghost+Skeleton+Vampire=Casts Armageddon at your heart (Instant Cast), Hold Audience, then turns all your creatures into chickens
Warlock+Monk=All Your Spell books disappear (You have to research them again)
Troll+Monk=All Your Trap Boxes Disappear (You have to Manufacture them again)
Avatar=All Your Creatures are killed instantly, including Imps (Sort of like when your Dungeon Heart dies)
Giant+Giant+Giant+Wizard+Wizard+Wizard=Researches the Destroy Walls Spell if it can be available

Good Sacrifices

Demon Spawn+Demon Spawn+Spider+Spider=Dragon
Spider+Spider+Beetle=Demon Spawn
Orc+Demon Spawn=Troll
Troll+Demon Spawn=Orc
Orc+Demon Spawn=Tentacle

Enhancement Sacrifices

Fly+Hell Hound+Hell Hound=Speed All Creatures Level 9
Bile Demon+Orc=Protect All Creatures Level 9
Thief+Thief=Invisibility All Creatures Level 9
Spider+Monk+Spider=Heals All Creatures Level 9
Witch+Wizard=Rebound All Creatures

[A New Room]

Imp + Tunneller = all walls now unfortified.

[Krizzie]

Three Tunnelers = Destroy walls spell.
Three Mistresses = Lightning spell

[Monsterbaby]

10.000 gold and three Demon Spawns, should give you a dragon :P

Sacrificing Two spiders and a demon spawn should give you a tentacle. (I don't know why, but I love those <3!

[Krizzie]

three skeletons + three ghosts = Vampire

[mefistotelis]

As for now I added these:

v Warlock+Warlock=Wizard
v Orc+Orc=Barbarian
v Troll+Warlock=Archer
v Troll+Tunneller=Dwarf
v Bile Demon+Orc=Giant
v Fly+Dark Mistress+Warlock=Fairy
v Fly+Demon Spawn=Ghost
v Thief+Demon Spawn+Beetle=Skeleton

Let me know if you think they're unfair, or you see that they're conflicting with original sacrifices, or something..

Some creatures trigger an effect when thrown alone - so we can't use it for other recipes. These are:

Horned Reaper = make all creatures angry
Imp = Nothing, only the message (I think...)
Ghost = All your chickens die

Also, the sacrifices should stick to some 'general rules':
- Undead creatures give bad things
- We always get something less powerful than the sum of victims
- Level of the resulting creature/spell is an average of victims experience

Sacrificing resulting in heroes seems odd

[Metal Gear Rex]

I tried to give them all within some reason.

Warlock+Warlock=Wizard
Wizard>Warlock

Orc+Orc=Barbarian
Like the Wizard/Warlock, at earlier levels the Barbarian loses but he wins later on.

Troll+Warlock=Archer
Troll can manufacture, and the Warlock is a ranged creature so it fits

Troll+Tunneller=Dwarf
Same thing, but Tunneller is obviously needed for a Dwarf.

Bile Demon+Orc=Giant
Orc is the strength, and Bile Demon the tough of the Giant

Fly+Dark Mistress+Warlock=Fairy
For Flight and fragilness, Dark God's favorite Fly. Dark Mistress' lightning ability fits in, and the Warlock's magic replaces the Fairy's other spells.

Fly+Demon Spawn=Ghost
Fly for Flight and small body, Demon Spawn because it turns into a Dragon which researches like the Ghost, but Dragon is too much.

Thief+Demon Spawn+Beetle=Skeleton
Thief for the body, Demon Spawn for the damage, Beetle because thier good.

Imp = Nothing, only the message (I think...)

It lowers the price of the Imp Spell by 150 gold. Very useful for creating later imps.

We always get something less powerful than the sum of victims

Except the Horned Reaper, right?

Sacrificing resulting in heroes seems odd

Well some can be greater than thier "counter part"
