The only mods I can remember having are ones that edit the dwarves. I was trying to create an epic caste of dwarves, the Berserkers, which are basically undead creatures that you control and can die of old age. Check the raws for the full data. Kinda overpowered, but when you have 10 towers that could attack you, it kinda balances out. :P

There is the berserker caste, and the underground crops all grow year-round.  Also, the inorganic tiles are all changed so they hurt my eyes.  :P  I fixed the inorganic tiles by copying those raws in from vanilla.  The plants tiles were changed too, but I left them since I wasn't sure what else had been changed.

I had a Berserker Necromancer sneak into my refuse room with the second wave of migrants, so I didn't feel all that advantaged by the introduction of that caste.   ;D

Yeah, sorry about that :P I forgot about the crops, since I don't farm much right now. I'm not sure what you mean by the inorganic tiles, though. :P I tend to just mess around with my raws until it's broken beyond fixing, then I just get the vanilla raws and do it again. This usually leads to lots of things being mixed up, though as far as I can remember in those raws the most important change was the Berserker caste.

Well, for example, orthoclase is a fancy "y" in yellow on a red background, and all of the ores are "e" with an umlaut. Gems dug out look like nest boxes.  And so on.

It sure delivers challenge, though.  I repeated the season where I failed before and thought I prevented any necromancers from entering the fortress with the second migration wave.  The Dwarven caravan and liaison were then killed when THREE necromancers seiged me at the same time in autumn.  I have raised rats dancing in my refuse room, behind a locked door.  Either a necromancer did sneak in anyway or ... I don't know or what.  No one can see into the room right now, not even my Dwarves.

That looks like a graphics/tileset thing.
