Dig deeper orcs. Are you serious?
« on: January 12, 2010, 08:56:15 pm »

I (was) currently in my 2nd year of my fort  and had about 25 dwarves. A siege of 30 some odd orcs showed up. Ok, no problem, I defeated them, took some losses. The Following Season the orcs ante'd up with Eighty Three Orcs Including 5 elite orcs and about 12 boworcs. I think this is kind of over the top, so is there anyway i can mod orcs so they are more like goblins in the numbers they siege in, while retaining orc single soldier strength?

Copy the creature entry for orcs over goblins.

I want them to siege less, and be less populous, Pretty sure that will do the opposite, make them just as siegy and populous, but as physically weak as goblins..

Orcs have a [liTTERSIZE:6:10] they have six to ten kids that is what makes there population grow thats in the creature file in the entity file they have [ETHIC:KILL_ENTITY_MEMBER:UNTHINKABLE]
which they don't murder each other and lower their pop cap, and [MAX_SITE_POP_NUMBER:250] compared to other races which is 120 not 250 like to orcs. Thats how their war parties get so large. Anyone correct me if im wrong but thats what I believe

You are correct.

We'll never speak of the day I decided to add littersize:100 to my dwarves. My FPS will never forgive me.

Actually, that'd turn goblins into orcs with goblin civ ethics.

Set all of the [PROGRESS_TRIGGER] tags to 2,3 or 4, depending on how late you want them to come. I'd advise 2, which is the same as the goblins, I think. If you want them to ambush and steal your dwarf babies (dwabies?) before they siege, add [BABYSNATCHER]. And if you just want to take care of the big sieges by using traps, remove [trAP_AVOID].
I'm not sure if I got those tags right, so you might want to have a look on the Wiki just to make sure.

Hope that helps :)
