Behavior controllable with XML

Designing custom AI for creatures in Caves of Qud typically requires scripting with C#, however, there is a limited set of changes you can make to a creature's behavior through XML only.

The Brain part

Brain is the primary part in charge of granting sentience to creatures in Caves of Qud. It is required to give an object goals and perform actions autonomously in the game.

In XML, Brain supports multiple parameters that can be used to influence creature behavior:

• Wanders: whether, absent any goals, a creature will wander autonomously or simply stay still in its current location.
• MaxWanderRadius: when idly wandering, the maximum distance that a creature will go from its starting point. This is primarily used by pigs to control their maximum wander distance.
• Factions: what factions the creature belongs to. TODO
• Hostile: TODO
