Okay, the new version is up!
As I stated in the official website, this release turned out to be first step in entity/item overhaul. So far the attributes of each entity creature has been checked and altered as well as size of gnolls, vikings and githyanki. As for the items, so far I have redistributed weapons and toys, which isn't much. Just note that, while all the weapons have been renamed, those are identical in terms of battle. So human battle axe works as well as dwarven battle axe. I'm going to check the item attributes later.
And the change log:
Version 0.34.07_1
- Updated to DF 0.34.07

- Rocks can be used in jewelry. This is a bug with vanilla DF, not with the mod.
Thats not a Vanilla DF bug nor this mod bug. Rock "gems" have different cuts than real gems.
So it's actually intended that jewelers can cut rocks and use those in encrusting?
I have an idea/suggestion for a stealthy type creature
Like a pale blue leathery skinned cheetah in base body and size, it has hard chttinous fins (they dont move there like a sheild attached to him all over his body) placed on parts of its body making its genral structure much more streamlined where the head of the cheetah would be there isnt there is a large snapping mouth with needle like teeth, they have long powerful tales with large spikes of chitin at the end they have long razor shrp nails that can rip out organs and lop of limbs, they have streamlined bodies that moves delicately through the wind with great speed and stealth they have two powers, stealth-They go into sneak mode even when they can be seen 30 recharge and leap- they dive into there target and can go up or down a z level if they crash into an enemy ussually dealing decent damage and knocking the opponent down 10 recharge- And yes they are very badass
Man, you should really use periods while writing, I actually had to read that post several times before I grasped what you were looking for.
Now, while the idea is good, I think only 70% of what you are suggesting is actually possible and only 30% is inside my modding skills. So right now I think I'm not adding this creature but I will make some notes in case it becomes plausible at some point. Besides, right now I'm focusing more to entity creatures and balancing those so I don't think I'm gonna add new creatures right now anyway. But thanks for the suggestions.
