Grendel Breeding Scripts

Is there any way to change the breeding scripts for a single genus of creatures? I want to change the Grendel breeding scripts so that female grendels can lay multiple eggs, and a higher ratio of female grendels to male grendels are born, without affecting the norns that they share the world with.

In theory this is possible. The different species have different classifiers.
The breed scripts have classifiers like 4 0 0 #

4 0 0 means "any creature" and # is the script number.
The first 0 is the species.
4 0 0 are all kinds
4 1 0 are Norns
4 2 0 are Grendels
4 3 0 are Ettins
4 4 0 are Geats

The second number is the gender. 0 is any gender, 1 is male and 2 female. Let's say you want to alter a male Grendel script, you need 4 2 1.



Simply add your Grendel-only scripts this way. They will override the original scripts, but with the classifiers you can limit this to Grendels.
Lets say you have a script with 4 0 0 and one with 4 2 0. Ettins and Norns will use the 4 0 0 script and only Grendels will use the 4 2 0 script.

In short: Copy-paste the original breed scripts, alter the classifier and do your changes.

Will the game use the species specific script instead of the general script, or will I have to create a replacement breeding script file?

The game will always use the most specific script for an agent (or creature) that it can, so although it uses 4 0 0 right now, if you create a 4 2 0 script and inject it into the game, it should happily use that right away. ;)
