Hey, so I went in and made my Orcs a little bigger, a little stronger and I gave them tougher tissue materials so that they are, all around, more hardy.

I also gave them an innate fighting skill of 2, just because Orcs are ALL about fighting, and how tough they are. I would imagine even the dedicated craftsmen and dream walkers would have some basic understanding of melee combat. "ORCS NEVER RUN! ORCS FIGHT!" kinda thing.

On top of that, I gave them all horns and a gore attack.. Because, why the fuck not? It's awesome.

NOTE: This is the FIRST mod I felt was worthy enough to bother sharing with other people and as such it may not be up to snuff but I think I covered all of my bases.

INSTALLATION - SIMPLE, just overwrite the other file of the same name in the Raw folder under default Dwarf fortress. This will obviously remove any changes you may of made to the default masterwork Orcs.

PS: Please give me your opinions and also do let me know of any bugs as I'm still quite new to modding.

I like the idea of buffing the Dwarf version Orcs. If it would be possible to make those horns mouth tusks or something to represent enlarged teeth I'd be more inclined to add it to both versions.

That shouldn't be too hard, I'll have to look into it later though as I don't have time right now.

I don't think the taiga orcs should be any tougher, my peasants usually can deal with most of the "normal" wild animals (like wolves, lions, raptors and such) passing by on their own - without weapons, armor and training...

Yeah, I have all of the races turned on and I like to have more control over their destiny. I'm sadistic like that. Also, I like to have room to make a lot of stupid risks without too much fear of losing my entire fort.

I used to use runesmith to alter their stats, giving some of them weaknesses in certain areas and strengths in other areas. I play less like I'm trying to survive and more like they are all just my peons. I like more freedom, more time and more room.

razorback: Here ya go, you will have to remove the (2) from the text file name before you overwrite it as I had to give it a different name to upload it to Mediafire.

This gives them bigger teeth without the horns, their bite should be a little stronger. And I upped the priority so they bite more often. If you want me to change the priority back to secondary I will do that, just let me know.. Or you can do it, just CTRL F "bite" until you find this line (2 times) -

[ATTACK_SKILL:BITE]
      [ATTACK_VERB:bite:bites]
      [ATTACK_CONTACT_PERC:111]
      [ATTACK_PENETRATION_PERC:111]
      [ATTACK_FLAG_EDGE]
      [ATTACK_PRIORITY:MAIN]
      [ATTACK_FLAG_CANLATCH]

Replace the MAIN in "ATTACK_PRIORITY" with "SECOND" and your Orcs won't rely on biting as much.
