Tigermen - the alternative to Elves
« on: July 27, 2010, 04:57:19 am »
We all know elves are conniving, hypocritical, and almost entirely worthless. The only reason not to simply genocide the entire race is that they're occasionally useful for bringing along some excellent tame animals.

But that list of animals also includes tigermen, which are a semi-sentient race. That, if not properly cared for, can die of thirst in your fortress.

Well, no more! The tigermen have risen up and taken over the elven place in society, with some minor changes: http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2836

Simply extract the archive into your /raw/objects/ folder.

Alternatively, you can make the changes manually by:

Replace the [entity:forest] entry with the following in the entity_default.txt file:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Replace the Tigerman entry in creature_savage_tropical.txt:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

To get rid of elves, add this line to the elves in creature_standard.txt:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Does not include graphics. That will require some investigation into how to do that sort of thing.

....I think Dwarf Fortress may be putting us all into the mindset of being a Greek God.
