This absolutely made my coworkers' and my day. Thank you for sharing this and the Rise of the Heroes.

For one of the alternate blasts animations I'd like to suggest "throwing" the blast energy. For example Flares shoots multiple little fire balls, I think it would be cool for the character to throw them (alternating hands) at the enemy. That gets some full body motion into the animation rather than holding the arms out straight.
I also would like to suggest an alternate coloring scheme for some of the powers that have area effects, lines, or traveling bits (like the aforementioned Flares, or Ball Lightning, etc.). It would be neat if the two colors you can set for the power shade from one to the other as the power moves.
Two examples:
Lightning Bolt shaded violet and white would start as violet at the hands and shade to white as it hits the enemy.
Explosive Blast shaded black to red would have the blast start out as black at the targeted enemy's feet and shade out to red at the edges. -

Hmm I may have to play this...a couple of question first.
Does the player have to deal with a Catsplosion?
Do said cats catch on fire then make a beeline for you wooden stock pile, thus turning the fortress into a flaming ball of death and destruction?
Do, at any point, the Dwarves use a drawbridge as a kind of medieval atom smasher which blinks things out of existence?
At any point do I have to deal with a magma pump failing and the entire place filling with magma?
All the above HAS happened to a friend playing Dwarf Fortress. I suggest people look up the term Catsplosion.
All of the things above are definitely a staple of the game, but I did not model any of those particular oddities. I did work in carp, a strange mood, dog roasts and quite a few other familiar concepts

With Toady's gracious permission, I've created a custom mission based on the ultra-detailed Dwarf Fortress game (www.bay12games.com/dwarves). I did what I could to preserve the humor that's inherent in the game itself (and in the stories people write up on the dwarf fortress forums). I have no idea what sort of crossover there is in the player base between the two games, but if you try out my mission arc, let me know if you enjoyed it!

HAMI RAID!
I think I can make an appearance if it's later in the evening. Please post ur strategy so we have an idea of how you'll be running it. Villain side is usually not as easy as Hero side from what I've seen.
